I like your explaination, I don't know if I personally would feel comfortable after 8 days. I have been studying for almost 2 weeks and I barely feel like the materials in my head after reading each chapter and taking the quiz right after each chapter. Maybe it's the mounting pressure to get it done fast because I am unemployed and only really making this work because I have GI Bill benefits to make it work for now and would prefer more time to relax but I guess I need to double my sessions up. This was informative though. I'm looking at the Exam Objectives right now not as a whole but each sub section and studying each subsection until I know I can get the answers right for it.

Great advice thanks for sharing, I plan on taking my next month

I'll be doing the same, starting with A+ and Network+

[mustafahusseinmakarov]

I've had my A+ / Network+ and heading to Security+ using Dion's on Udemy and buying the practice test book (make sure its the most recent version) i was little above the passing score on both test due to lack of time.. i have stress issues but here i am preparing for the Security+

[BMBailey]

1-3 months people. That's realistic.

[CalitranoN]

i need something to analyze the domains where I am weak, did the whole comptia course, prof. messer, Andrew K, started dion, its all general cyber questions, no idea where i am bad...

Curious, how many hours were you studying a day for those 8 days

[gilgilbert]

Your the perfect example of why certifications, especially for the Cybersecurity field is an unreliable way for hiring managers to choose a good fit for their organizations IT staff. This is also why there are a big demand for unfulfilled slots in Cybersecurity. Thank you for your honest though

You're lying. Unless you got insanely lucky (which is technically, but negligibly possible) or have an absolute photographic memory (.001% of the population [which, btw, he doesn't/isn't]), it's simply impossible. This is harmful to put out content like this as it belittles and minimizes the value of the accomplishments of those who actually took the MONTHS of studying that it takes to pass the exam. Post your certificate, with the validation number (this is a series of numbers and letters that CompTIA adds to certifications now that allow employers to easily verify the authenticity of a cert). Edit: I forgot about the possibility that he found exam dumps, which are a lot harder to come by nowadays, but still possible to come by.

You're lying and posting this for monetization purposes. Fortunately, most people, at least in tech, are too smart to believe you.

Wasted 20 seconds of my life watching this video I will never get back Dude talked in circles about nothing I will never come back

[yosubkim]
