In Summary:
1st-Scope out (crash course) the Sec+ Material through any physical media - limit to 4 hours
2nd-Professor Messer Sec+ video course: take "notes" by writing questions you can reference for studying later
3rd-Anki Flashcards: Remember the massive amount of material you just got exposed to through spaced repetition (the process of taking periods of non-exposure to the material so your mind can digest it)
4th-Feynman Technique: simplify the concepts to reteach at the lowest level of understanding
5th-Boson Practice Tests or any sort of practice tests that will expose you to what the real thing will be like

Thanks for the video. This is my first time hearing about Anki cards and spaced repetition. Excited to try these techniques.

I kept looking at your painting in the background, nice work.
I'm actually preparing for the A+ this month and looking to take the Security + or Network + next month. I have prior experience working in IT but it was years ago so I figured if I have these certs under my belt they will open doors for me.

Thanks for the learning methodology!

[TheAhmedzaye]

Great videos really helped me narrow down what i want to do and how to do it. Every video i have watched has helped. I also love how you explain everything and make it simple. Additionally the links that you recommended are extremely helpful.

[andrewsweet]

This was a great video! I wish you success with this channel.

[JoseandAsh]

Thank You for the detailed tips and tricks ! My friends and I just talked about it and we’re gonna Try to do some group studying but I want to study rigorously like it’s 30 days as well

[FaisalPeera]

So happy I found this channel. You earned a new subscriber!

[damian]

You're a star Nicole! Keep up the great work.

[ksturdevant]

Great job on your channel and this video. I see that fear of failure is a big obstacle for test takers. Having a plan of action and a set time limit will be helpful! I am not familiar with your process but after watching your video I think it holds some weight and is worth a test. Lol pun intended! I love seeing confidant woman in tech teaching! I also like your painting in the background and am curious as to if you painted it?

Thank for sharing this with us, great information. I am planning to start studying, would you recommend getting the SYO 601 or stick to the 501? I have the 501 right now. Thank you!

[bartman]

Thanks for the tips... i am working at the facility management and wanted to change a career to cyber sec. Just wanted to know if you have any website to rely on about learning or you do it on your own? Thanks

[pigskinrode]

Thank you Nicole for making these videos! I'm studying for my Sec+ after getting my A+ back in September. Professor Messer helped me a lot with A+. I've been using Jason Dion for Sec+ though will be probably best to go back to Professor Messer. I study every day about 1 hour, and wonder if I need to study 3 or 4 hours a day instead? I'm wondering if I study too long that I won't retain anything.

[quantaviusmills]

I am going straight for the Security+ sys 601. When I pass I will let you know! Awesome video! Subscribed

[stuffandthangs]

Professor Messer has been the best resource for me. Videos and 25 bucks for his study guide. I follow along the guide at the same time as the videos. Reading the material and hearing him commentate along side helps you pick it up faster. I'd say you're incorrect about memorization. You need to memorize. Understanding the concepts helps you apply it on the exam and in real time. I've highlighted stuff on my study notes don't see whats wrong with that.

[Jasmine-ykcr]

Yes thank you I’m taking a course in cyber security’s but they only have reading material and I don’t learn this way. Thank you for the information and encouragement!😊

[paulcostache]

Congratulations. Doing tons of practice tests helped me massively. And motivation needed work on some days but you said it well....start and you’ll get to dislike it less and less every minute

[leahmartin]

Thank you for your amazing tips! Are you selling your painting in the back?

[temptingtotouch]

Hey Nicole awesome job! I was wondering do you have Anki cards for 601 or any information about it getting a little cards for it?
