    Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though…

    I wouldn’t know how/where to evem start if it wasn’t for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me… I basically:

    • watch the whoöe topic once
    • do all the comptia practice questions
    • identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
    • watch those (and more) videos again
    • rinse & repeat until the last week
    • switch to practice exams for the last week
    • hope for the best

    I’ll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though…

      I really need to do the same tbh. I’ve had my Sec+ (going to be renewing it for the second time here soon) but i just have absolutely zilch on the networking side of the house and I’m not happy about it

      For Security+ I actually liked the Gibson book more. Felt like it sat down with you to explain the relevant content while not using confusing or verbose language (e.g. Dion training videos).
