I passed with a 772. I finished it with 36 minutes remaining. Glad it is done. Now next step in my life is hands on training. Yes, I also watched some of your videos.
Passed mine yesterday. It was a difficult exam and well crafted. from my own experience, I found network plus easier. I scored 81 to 85 at 4 of Jason Dion Tests and was pretty confident .Vincent explained it properly here about knowing the concepts before you can confidently feel like you got each question correct.. Just keep answering, its very demoralizing but you are probably getting the answers correctly. My PBQ were more difficult than what I saw throughout my studies. Firewall setups were very advanced. Vulnerability search results interpretations and how they look on CMD. Overall, study well, you ll probably pass
Yes, Bryan! The test was so demoralizing, right?! But I think it's a sign of a well-written test that truly tests your knowledge of the topics thoroughly, not your ability to use process of elimination on multiple choice. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations, man! I used your practice test videos to help practice for the last few days before my exam and I passed a few days ago. Thanks for the help!
Would you say that the CompTIA Practice exam was similar in anyway to the actual exam that you took? Also what all PBQ did you get? I see most people mention configuring a firewall. But did yours include RAID?
@@fraskie66 Sorry it's been a few months, but I'd say all of the multiple choice questions touch on something within the exam objectives. The majority were pretty straightforward like what sort of phishing attack targets people via phone calls/voicemail? Vishing. If the practice exam touches on the exam objectives, then I'd say it's similar. For the PBQs I got a question asking me to identify types of attacks and how to mitigate them, I got a firewall investigation one, and the third had to do with configuring a basic network. I think one or two of the multiple choice questions related to RAID. The biggest tip I can give is to do the multiple choice first, then go back to the PBQs, because the PBQs can take a good amount of time.
I passed just yesterday. Your videos helped me a great deal. THANK YOU for posting your videos on Security+ I was so happy when I learned that I passed. I followed your advice on studying. You were exactly right! I studied for 2 months straight. I took online tests but never passed one. The closest I came was %87 on Udemy one time. The Udemy test was harder than the real thing but I have to say that the look and feel was exactly the same. I'm glad it was harder because it made me feel that I needed to study more. Still feel like I need to LOL. Although the wording was slightly different, I have to say that Udemy prepared me the most. Professor Messer's videos are good but Udemy was by far the best.
I just passed two hours ago. There were a LOT of questions with ambiguous answers (to the point that even tactics like deductive-reasoning were challenging). I had 3 PBQs that weren’t hard, but VERY time-consuming. I ran out of time before I finish the last PBQ but passed anyway with a 770.
Just Passed mine last week. Your vids made me comfortable with taking the exam immediately after taking my boot camp course. Your vids and live helped me really utilize critical thinking skills to determine the best answers possible. It was like sitting through a study session with a collaborative group that all had the same goal. Thank you for your help. On to CySA+.
Just bumped into your channel but that the greatest thing i have done on youtube. Your vids are great. Am studying a sec+ bootcamp. Planning to seat for the exam soon. But what your say on CySa+ with zero field experience. Am someone changing career channel. Cheers for your time and efforts
Just passed on my first try last Friday! Feels great! Reading the questions very carefully and thoroughly is one of my biggest tips! Your practice exam videos were a tremendous help as well, thank you!!
I came across your videos when I was preparing for the Network+ I passed that a month ago, and today I passed the security+ .... I thought I should tell you😂 it's like you are a study partner. You are appreciated man. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I just passed mine Tuesday with a 769 and the pbqs were definitely tricky think I got a lot of them wrong lol. It was definitely demoralizing I had the exact same experience as you did. I also watched your videos and they helped! I am going to focus on network + now and continue to watch your videos
I could not pass my test last week , my score 749 and you need to pass with 750 , I scored 77 to 82 at 4 of Jason Dion Tests and was pretty confident . For me the test was really hard , I will try a second chance to see if I can do it if not well I'm going to skip it and I'm going to start looking job with my A+, I'm so tired of working at uber. Anyway thanks for your content
So sorry to hear that man. You can definitely find an entry level job with just an A+ That's how I started. I'll release a video shortly explaining more about my experience :) Don't be discouraged and don't give up!
First of all congrats again on passing your exam. I passed mine last week and just wanted to say I really enjoyed your Security+ learning videos and I personally felt they were a helpful resource on my self-study journey. I plan to watch your Network+ videos in my preparation for that exam as well.
Vincent, thank you so much for your series on Sec+, i was doing the practice exams along with you. I watched all your videos on Sec+ and today i passed with a score of 783. By the way, the feeling of failing it when you finish the exam is real, but im glad i was able to pass it.
Passed with 797, with 2 minutes to spare. Would have been a lot more time but I psyched myself out on the pbq's thinking I was doing everything wrong just staring at them for the longest. Next stop AZ-500!
Congrats man!! I passed my sys-601 last Wednesday, I had some issues with Pearson VUE & I couldn´t even start the exam on my first try.. So I booked a second time on a testing center. Anyways keep posting! :)
Thanks Gabriel! Yeah, I had an issue I didn't mention in the video, and I actually lost my entire exam fee. Luckily, my job covered the second voucher I purchased. Thanks for the encouragement :)
I sat through most of the CertMaster parctic eexam video you posted (55%). That CertMaster exam looked tough. Would you say the CertMaster practice was more difficult than the actual certification exam? I also had access to the CertMaster Security+ through school but totally squandered the 1 year acces. :(
Thank you! And thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to figure out which SaaSs I could showcase without exposing PII or any sensitive info.. I have some ideas
Only if you test in person. Online testing does not allow scratch paper but they do give you an app that is sort of like notepad where you can type and save information and even draw and mark up
I almost died taking network+.. when i saw congratulations. i no-joke fell out of my chair.... so far studying for sec+ is 100 times easier.. i just have no idea how to study for PBQ's i've been working in IT for about 6 years now and i don't find it in my day to day to configure firewalls and switches lol
You must've been talking really loud. I've read questions to myself.(took a+ and net+ previously) I mumbled but I didn't get any warnings. But anyways Congrats!

Thanks for putting up your videos, especially the official Practice Exam from Certmaster. They all helped me pass my Security+ yesterday!

Hey, May I know which udemy course and udemy practice exam you have taken?
Great job! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience :)
@@ridinbal I'm guessing Jason Dion's exams. Jason Dion's Udemy exams are quite popular and the ones that the uploader used. Best of luck.
I passed this morning! Your Sec+ study videos helped a lot with my studies!
Congratulations Tyler! Wooooo

By the way, the feeling of failing it when you finish the exam is real, but im glad i was able to pass it.
Im taking it this month. What other study materials did you use?
@@ThatGuyAlon The other study material i used was Professor Messer's training course
well done! I've been following your practice test videos and found we're a similar level, you passing makes me confident I can too
You got this! Thanks for watching :)
I did get it! 792, thanks for the vids, they really helped@@vincenthumble
Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing, also your net+ vids have been helpful and informative
Glad you like them! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Passed with 797, with 2 minutes to spare. Would have been a lot more time but I psyched myself out on the pbq's thinking I was doing everything wrong just staring at them for the longest. Next stop AZ-500!

Would definitely appreciate some saas coverage as you mentioned. Just out of curiosity
Congrats btw!
Thank you! And thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to figure out which SaaSs I could showcase without exposing PII or any sensitive info.. I have some ideas
Congrats , what did you get your BA in Vince?
Information Technology :) I did "night school", asynchronous online classes while working.
Darknet diaries 🎉
did they allow you to use a blank paper to jot down note?
Only if you test in person. Online testing does not allow scratch paper but they do give you an app that is sort of like notepad where you can type and save information and even draw and mark up
Messer is the GOAT
Can confirm that the Network + is a way harder test.
Agree
I almost died taking network+.. when i saw congratulations. i no-joke fell out of my chair.... so far studying for sec+ is 100 times easier.. i just have no idea how to study for PBQ's i've been working in IT for about 6 years now and i don't find it in my day to day to configure firewalls and switches lol

Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe the proctor guy was having a bad day lol. Thank you!
Just passed my exam, 877 thanks for the videos
Great job!
Do u recall the resources u used? especially for the pbq's?
@@LynnyrdRavage I think I just used it pro TV
Just passed today. Your videos were great and funny 😂. Keep it up.
