Passed Sec+ last weekend with a 773. No prior cybersecurity experience.

I did a bootcamp course sponsored by my job, then I reread the textbook on CompTIA (that type of learner), did the practice questions for each chapter, watched Professed Messers videos and asked ChatGPT on topics I didn’t have a good grasp on, bought and took Dion’s practice exams like 4-5 times. I also downloaded the CompTIA practice app and Pocket Prep - I was just trying to constantly get myself thinking through and being exposed to questions. Took about 2.5 months to study because of having a full time job + job travel. Might have been overkill but was worried about my lack of experience.

Couldn’t even answer one of the PBQs because I didn’t have enough time.

Thank you to this group it honestly helped me find resources for studying.

Hi yall. I’m wanting to schedule my exam end of this month. I took a week long bootcamp at the end of April and have been re-reading the textbook along with doing practice questions, PBQs, and labs. I’ve been using the comp tia app for practice questions too.

Is this enough? Should I try Dion tests too? I’m worried my prep isn’t enough and this cert is a work requirement.
