Now that it appears they are using a rolling application process, does anyone who has recently applied have any experience with how long it has taken to receive a decision?
Since everyone else seems to want to gatekeep what to do and be super vague, I’ll give some pointers.
I did the phishing lab.
In the folder on the desktop there is a pdf for incident response. At the bottom gives some useful instructions. Hint: You will need these.
You can find the attacker’s IP in the first place you learn about the phishing. It’s really obvious.
Look in the registry on the victim’s computer. Something is there that should not be.
There was another account created and permissions granted it shouldn’t have. Find which.
Hopefully that helps some of you out without completely giving away the answer.
No, please don’t flood me with DMs. I will not respond to them. Ask your questions publicly so that others may benefit as well. This is a confusing new lab for sure.
This is the next test on my radar and I was trying to get an idea of what I’m in for.
I just passed the CCSP exam this morning and thought it was pretty easy. I do have quite a bit of experience though and it was basically only surface level knowledge.
I also passed the SSCP a couple weeks ago and thought it was the absolute easiest certification exam I’ve ever taken. Is SSCP really the majority of the exam like I’ve read online? Seems hard to believe.
It seems like ISC2 makes it super simple to immediately eliminate two of the choices right away leaving you a 50/50 chance on the remaining two. Is it the same for this exam?
I already have CISM so the think like a manager mindset isn’t a problem.
Is it really as hard as what people are saying? Any weird gotchas with this exam that aren’t on the others?
It looks like they’ve changed the capstone and it is no longer a research assignment. That sucks because I have great projects from work experience to write about.
Anyone have experience with this new capstone format? Tips/tricks or any advice in general for this new style?
Or am I just the lucky guinea pig for this new course?
Seems like everyone gets their score exactly at 10 CALENDAR days. I’m still waiting though. Their support can’t tell me anything besides that I passed and it “should” be there by next Friday.
Common occurrence or am I just unlucky?
Has anyone else’s mentor told them that this class was a prerequisite for other classes and they had to pass it before being able to take other classes? It’s so time consuming and I know I could knock out a few other ones in the time it takes to just get one task graded.
Didn’t want to go through the nightmare labs that everyone is talking about so I bought my own voucher. Only used the Dion training Udemy course on 1.25x speed then took the exam. For context, I’ve been working in IT for over a decade.
Started this program on July 1. Should be 27 completed but WGU takes their time updating CompTIA passes.
I took the exam with the PSI online proctor route. Had absolutely no problem with this method. Honestly less stress than taking cert exams in a testing center.
The only study materials I used were the official QAE. Would highly recommend. The question format was pretty accurate. I didn’t do all the questions. Scored 75% and 80% on the practice tests and decided to just send it. I did attempt a LinkedIn learning practice test but it was not even close so didn’t even finish it. Maybe 5 hours of studying total.
Overall, the exam didn’t seem that difficult. Laws are optional. Prioritize the business and evaluate risk for everything.
Now the long 10 day wait for my official results.
It’s so much easier to know at a glance what people are talking about if you use the actual course name. I have to imagine that most people don’t go around memorizing course numbers they might spend only a couple of days on, however, they’d definitely know what you’re talking about when you say Managing Cloud Security as an example.
Hopefully I can knock this all out in a single term. I already have Network+ and CySA+ and the intro scripting class. From what I hear, the worst classes are Pentest+, and Python due to the OA sucking. I’ve already got over a decade of experience in the field.
I'm transferring into WGU and wondering which route is really the better way to go. I already have a long career in IT and this is basically a piece of paper for me to satisfy the HR filters. Let's assume I already have a firm understanding of quite a bit of the subject material and just need something showing a bachelors degree. Either way I'll complete the MSCSIA.
BSIT -> MSCSIA or BSCSIA -> MSCSIA

Has anyone tried GEICO or Allstate mobile protection plans? According to the limited information on their websites it seems cheaper than other options like T-Mobile’s outrageously expensive plans.
As of the time of this post, it says there are 5 in stock.
I just got an email notification that mine shipped so I checked the site and apparently there are a few more.
