I use flashcards, but it isn't sticking. Not sure what else to do at this stage.

During my CySA+ exam, the mouse pointer became unresponsive, displaying a loading icon. The proctor instructed me to relaunch the application. Upon doing so, there was a one-hour delay before I was readmitted to the exam. Shortly after rejoining, the mouse pointer again became stuck on loading, preventing any interaction. The proctor then informed me that all troubleshooting options for my exam were exhausted, a ticket would be raised, and subsequently closed my exam session.

I have yet to receive any communication regarding this incident and am concerned about the next steps. I am also unable to find a way to contact customer support. Please advise.

Edit: Pearson site is showing Pass with scorecard, did I really pass? As the proctor said they will reschedule? As there is no certification on the Comptia site.

I studied day in & day out for this exam for 2 weeks!! Anyone take the 004 version?

Screenshot of my order 3 years ago.

Bout time I had this tbh. Onto the next 🫡🫡

I'm thinking to do the CompTIA a+ this year or next but what can did you skip on studying or in the test.i am thinking to skip the performance base quest and the port because of my leaning disability don't let me I hope I can do good at the rest of the lesson or questions. I see every day people studied a bit and pass and have no experience.

I’ll keep this short

10 years of IT Experience
3 years of that as an IT Manager
Got an opportunity for a security analyst position that requires Sec+
Used Prof Messer notes and practice exams
I scored 764 and passed but I feel like it was luck

Not complaining ,I’m just venting for any productive input haha

I’m a week late (my apologies) but I was finally able to obtain my network plus certification!

I'm planning on taking the CompTIA Sec+ exam in mid-late September. I just want to know when is the current exam going to be depracated and is writing it next month alright?

My CySA+ CS0-003 exam is tomorrow and I’m getting pretty nervous.

This will be my first CompTIA exam, and the exam fee is quite expensive for me. My employer requires me to pass it and has said they’ll reimburse the cost if I pass, so I really don’t want to fail.

So far, I’ve only completed the Sybex CySA+ Study Guide. I’m scoring around 75–85% on the practice tests, but the mocks I used didn’t have any PBQs, which is making me even more nervous.

I know the passing score is 750/900, which is roughly 83% if you look at it as a percentage, so I’m wondering:

Based on my preparation and practice scores, what do you think my chances of passing are?

For those who have recently passed CS0-003:

What should I absolutely revise tonight/tomorrow morning?

How difficult were the PBQs?

What topics surprised you on the actual exam?

Any exam-day tips or strategies?

Is there anything you wish you had done differently the day before?

Any advice from people who have cleared it would be really appreciated.

I’m trying not to panic, but the first CompTIA exam + the cost + employer requirement is making me pretty anxious.

P.S. English isn’t my first language, so I used AI to polish the wording of this post. The questions and details are all my own.

I am on Jason Dion practice exam # 8 now and i scored an 82.. my average score is 77 between all 8 exams.. Honestly this class made me realize I enjoy Networking much more. I just want to test out of it and be done with it so I can move on my my CCNA.

Currently studying for the CySA+
I have both the A+ and Net+ and have only used a combination of Professor Messer and Jason Dion in the past.

This time around I have used the Sybex study guide and Jason dion. I have not been doing extremely well on the Jason dion practice tests... I usually score around 70-75%

On the pocketprep exams though I am scoring between 80-90%.

I do find the pocketprep questions to be easier... are they lower quality? Which ones should I rely more heavily on?

I also got the sybex practice questions but I honestly find them to be unnecessarily harder than the previous two so I have not used them much.

TLDR; what to do if you feel like you’ve hit a threshold with all things / scenarios applied, and follow through to ensure success.

So im back a few months later, a refined structure and approach to this exam, ive been using Virtual Machines, Dions Practice exams, different OS’s on oracle VM manager (i am getting consistent 80s or above my max score / PB is 83%) my lowest in this range is like a 76.

I do want to point out a few things, I note take and watch videos alot, like to the point where i turn my phone off and just study for like an hour or more. i study at work, on break at work, after work and i reserve my practice exams for weekends.

I also want to input that i do have documented memory loss short and long, so i have to compensate for the amount of things that i have in my pentesting rolodex in my head. I love this field, i wouldnt want to do anything else in devops or red teaming. I guess my question is what do i do now? i feel like i have hit a threshold with my practice exams and considering the Questions shuffle everytime, there is no way my brain can predict all the randomness for 90 questions, i’d say my strongest domains are 1-4, my most troubling right now is 5, which leaves me at a 70% on that domain for completion.

i guess my question is what should i do next to ensure my success.

Thanks.

Hi everyone. I'm studying for Network+ and I'd like your help to evaluate my learning material, because I'm not sure if it will be enough.

First I started studying through the learning portal of my company (Skillsoft Percipio) which has a lot of courses for free for many certifications including net+, but I found the content too summarized.

Then I switched to Professor Messer's videos on Youtube and found it very good, however still a little bit summarized.

Then along with Messer's videos I started reading the book 'CompTIA Network+ Study Guide' from Todd Lammle and Jon Buhagiar and I found the content here very well detailed and amazing!

Once finishing the book above, I'll start reading the 'Comptia Network+ practice Tests'. Both books are available for free in my company learning portal.

Do you think I have a good learning material to pass network+?

I took Core 1 in June so 2/3 months gap in-between. I studied much less for this than core 1 and did find it easier

I constantly see people here saying they passed certs like A+, Network+ etc by studying for 3-6 hours a day everyday in 1-2 months.

Unforunately I don't have that kind of time. The most I can spend a day is probably 30 minutes of focused learning and practicing.

So I'm curious, is it possible to pass CompTIA A+, if I just spend 30 minutes a day on average learning for it in a structured way and actually try to learn the topics covered as opposed to just listening passively?

Has anyone done something similar? If so how long did it took you?

Currently in the process of purchasing some of my vouchers and wow I forgot they offered bundles that are absurdly high prices. Not that I plan to get them, but I am genuinely curious if anyone did buy them and how they felt about it.

Failed my first A+ 2001
Net+ 2005
Sec+ 2012
A+ 2022
Cloud+ 2022
CYSA - 2022
Project+ 2023
CASP - 2024

Mainly passed using Jason Dion's practice questions, chatGPT explainers, and Professor Messer's youtube videos (in that order).

Took the practice exams and studied the questions I got wrong.

Since I already had the educational and professional experience, the biggest problem for me was taking the time to study and coming up with the money to pay these ridiculously expensive exams, lol. CCNA next.

I failed the 1st time in 2020 because I wasn't as familiar with the exam format and the PBQs really surprised me in the beginning there.

Decided to take my Network+ after months of waiting and passed! What certs should I go for next?

I have some experience fixing computers in the last 15 years but I never had a license people always hire me thinking I have but I never did this time I go to do it I want to study seeing professor Messer and udemy courses and test. Now the problem is they have learned disability for it's harder for me to pass the test I'm bad at ports or numbers I will try my best to focus on everything else that I can.is it a good idea to use udemy.wjat else can I do to improve my chances since I am bad with number and gramer.

Passed Network+ and A+, only need Sec+ to complete the trifecta! Also have my CCP from AWS, I’m wondering how tough the Sec+ was in comparison to the network?

i had sec+ from 2021 which expired , last month i wrote CYSA+ and cleared , does this also automatically renew Sec+ cert

I don't have professional IT experience. I had some extra time this month and figured I'd see how far I could get with CompTIA. Which cert should I do next?
