This advice is for those who want to enter the IT field. Don't rush to cram all the concepts in 9 days and expect to be able to answer technical questions at your interview. Instead, take your time, do your research, and take good notes. Most importantly, don't limit yourself to 9 days. Practice using homelabs/VM's to learn and master the concepts. This is how you get better and eventually land a job. It's not about showing off your long list of certifications, but rather applying your knowledge and showcasing your skills.

Just passed the sec+ exam about 16 days after watching this video! Extremely helpful. Thank you very much for the insight! I’ll just add that I did 2 additional things. I made physical flash cards for every acronym or term I didn’t already know from the chat gpt notes and I also utilized the Comptia quiz notes app for testing myself. However, you’re route worked perfectly for getting a solid knowledge foundation.

Congratulation on passing! Everyone has a different learning style; I too am a kinesthetic learner but took six months. Granted, I had school and work, but I think it's important to understand that not everyone can pass within a week. It's a loaded exam, so what's important is to NOT beat yourself up if you don't pass in a few weeks or months. It took me about a year to pass the Sec+, but making progress and learning is imperative.

Certs like CompTIA, CAN get you the interview. Skills and Experience (with a portfolio) gets you the job. Employers don’t want someone that has just a cert with no skill. You need practical skills.

@brandonvansylalom
@brandonvansylalom 6 ай бұрын
I have about 2+ years of IT experience, first job was a field technician at an MSP and moved up to a support analyst role at a hospital. Additionally I use to work at a Corporate SOC embedded with Amazon for three years prior to stepping into IT (physical security, investigations, access control etc but no IT). I’m also an IT Support Specialist in the United States Army National Guard as well so off of my civilian time I support and troubleshoot our network and comms for my unit. I’d say it’s achievable without it but if you have some experience and a foundational baseline of IT it helps a lot more. Without it, you’ll need to do more studying. There are some people that have done it coming from zero IT background, everyone is different and it just depends on your attitude and time to studying.

The hardest part of the test (for me) was networking and the PBQs. You need to know your port numbers and how to configure networks/firewalls. Networking is one of my weakest points in IT that I tried to study for. I’d recommend studying PBQs (the PBQ references in this video are great to help at that)

Everyone has their own learning style. I took the practice tests while i was studying, i watched videos on the topics i needed to know, i read the book last. Any bits i didnt understand watching the videos or answering the practice questions, i figured them out through the book, but watching the videos and taking the practice tests really helped me efficiently take in what i was learning.

I've looked through so many videos and guides on studying for the Sec+ and your method really nails it down for me. It's straight forward an non-convoluted. No books or endless videos. Before, the exams felt like this nebulous topic that had to be searched for rigorously, and nobody had straightforward answers. But you laid out as simply as possible. I also just finished the Google Cyber Security Professional Cert in 5 days, and although it won't help professionally, it really gave me a strong base of knowledge to help understand the topics on the Sec+ without feeling overwhelmed. For example on the first examcompass test I got an 80% based on my GCSP knowledge alone. I recommend it to anyone feeling overwhelmed who want an easy cert to help them dip their feet in the water before diving head first, without wasting too much time. Thanks Ben, you encouraged me to take the final step and get my Sec+.
