If you're here and you're freaking about the PBQs on the exam, please be reassured that I, someone with very little technical background, was able to pass. They are not THIS hard, although mine were all related to networking. But I have zero networking experience and was consistently testing poorly on Module 3 on practice exams. So if I got through it, so can you! :)
This is a top comment. This fellow takes 20 minutes to answer the question. There are several PBQs on the test, and you only have 90 minutes for the entire test.
@@harchitsingh4035 hey, I got 4 pbq , 2 of them were about setting up the firewall properly, and 2 were demonstrating an attacks, so you just have to differentiate them, it was rat and root kit attacks (btw PASSed mine)
@Cyberkraft This is what is frustrating about the exam. Even someone of your experience, it still takes you time to go over and fully understand the PBQ questions. Yet we only get 90 minutes to take the entire exam... We're testing against our speed, not our knowledge.
Many thanks! I passed the CompTIA Security+ yesterday, and your live stream of PBQs were a great help. Even if none were the same question, explaining your thought process helped me prepare for how I wanted to tackle each PBQ. Thanks, again! 👏
I took this test on Monday and passed, but I was watching this video on Sunday and freaking out. Nowhere in the study materials could I find anything about configuring the cloud for security.
Very helpful video. This is one of those TMI questions - their goal to confuse you with too much information and thus wasting value test time. You get 90 minutes. This question just burned about 20 minutes of it... Don't fall for that trap.
Love these performance based questions please do more! You explain these very well! I am currently studying for mine just recently finished a boot camp
Yikes, 15 minutes spent on one PBQ; they are all tough. I have a hard time reading the scenario closing it, looking at the work area and continually looking at the scenario. Good job I had no idea how to start.
@@anonymous_user_17 that’s definitely the way. If only they gave you 2 mins for questions. Especially for those that have to read the question multiple times
Am I the only one that sits here watching him go through these PBQs and completely freaking out about the PBQs on the actual exam? I mean I get that he is explaining at the same time but still.... Am I going to have enough time to analyze the questions and answer them properly? I've heard that I should leave the PBQs for last, this means that I am going to have extremely limited time to answer them.
The advantage of leaving them for last is that you'll know exactly how much time you'll left in the test for each PBQ. They can be extremely difficult, but try to do them one step at a time. You can do it!
@@cyberkraft1 I just finished my exam and passed! I skimmed through the PBQs and answer 2 out of 3. Left one unanswered and then came back to answer it with only 2 minutes left! I was freaking out but still passed. Whew! Thank you so much for your help, you assisted me big time.
@@vicloop827so do you always get 3 total PBQ? Do they usually have 8-15 drop boxes to answer. Based on your test if your remember? Congrats on passing!!!
@@Squatch76 no the PBQs will vary by test and as I understand the 701 will have a few more of them. However, if you get more PDQs then you will get less multiple choice questions. I do not remember the amount of drop boxes, sorry.
Hey there! I am glad I found this video. I am studying to take the exam in about a month. This will wrap up my three month study session. I have a question, and I’m hoping you’ll give me honest feedback. Of all the practice tests you’ve seen people do. Which ones are the most closely designed like the actual exam? Are paying for the CompTIA practice exams worth it? I have heard so many mixed reviews. Dion, no Messer, no the actual practice exams. Full transparency. I want to learn enough to pass so I can move on to a little more advanced certifications. I want this for an HR filter.
Thank you for this one I was lost when I was reading the question and got 10/15 right. I was hoping to get some clarification on this specific one so thank you!!
These have been very beneficial. I really appreciate the layman's terms and how you suggest approaching it in a very cool calm and collected manner. What do you keep clicking and looking off screen at?
Hi thank you so much for every thing , Do you have the Network Security comptia final exam please my final test in two days at my collage , i much appropriate your help in this matter
I do have the final exams for the Network+ certification in my Network+ course. Check it out here: cyberkrafttraining.com/product/comptia-network-n10-008-course/
hello thanks for helping with this question i was wondering if you could walk through PBQ 12, i definitely put the boxes in the right places. so i think, but i am actualy wrong lol.
A way to approach this is to not look from the test taker perspective but from a test writer perspective. There is a diagram given that has a senario, i can create 10 different scenarios from the same diagram. The diagram is there because it is a representation of several key concepts that are important. The concept of layers of access from user client to a service that must go through four layers of systems. Internet, frontend processing, backend processing, and storage container. There are three layers of security access represented... Access, security groups, and policies. In a real world secure environment the settings would be as the final answer and without reading the scanario one would understand the intent of the PBQ.... Show that you understand how to setup access controls and secur access from users, developers, admin and system to system. Anyone could then create the words of a scenario. So simplest scenario...set the access, security groups and policy to secure a video subscription infrastructure on the diagram.
Whichever way you approach it it's a badly worded PBQ. And given that there are 5 of these and only 90 minutes to complete the entire exam it sucks up far too much time.
@@aidanlopez3510 Yes. These are good practice questions for the exam. Passed 791. Skipped all PBQs. Did all the multi choice/multi select questions, then came back and spent the 45 minutes I had left on the 5 PBQs that the test gave me.
@@nasonguy I was wrong, the pbq was similar to this, I ran out of time and still scored to 766. I literally just randomly guessed the 1 pbq I managed to complete. The second was just a crap shoot, and I only completed 2 parts out of 4 until the timer said time up . I got 4 pbqs.
All I'm going to do is pray that I don't get more than 2-3 PBQs. I've not seen these kind of questions or content in any paid and unpaid videos I've watched lol..
This is ridiculous. The security+ is 90 questions and the test taker is given 90 minutes. This guy just spend 20 minutes on 1 PBQ. Would not mind being given three HOURS for this exam.

And Comptia gives you a minute to answer the question. I mean, just looking at it, is gonna take me a minute 🤦🏻♀️

Congratulations on passing your exam!
Super helpful! I will be retaking my test as I scored a 714. The PBQ's can be intimidating.
Wait what? I thought 714 was passing and the score didn't matter as long as it's passing. Why would you spend money retaking it?

These are all in Messer's PBQ practice questions. But I love the explanations.

These questions from CompTIA are a pain!
They're meant to confuse you. Focus on key words or phrases. Select the most logical answers and use process of elimination.

I missed passing by 5pts on the first attempt. I had 9 PBQs and all them were like this. Everyone else I knew got 3-4…
That's certainly uncommon but I've have other students with a similar number of PBQs. I hope your next attempt goes well!
I had 5 PBQ'S.. and I passed by 5 points..I just had to make sure I got ALL the other questions right lol
That sounds somewhat unfair and arbitrary to me, especially reading this the night before I take the frickin exam !! aaaargh😧
Would have contested that. That is crazy
Thank you for this one I was lost when I was reading the question and got 10/15 right. I was hoping to get some clarification on this specific one so thank you!!

Cybercraft,
When I did my 601 test, I saw something like that, very confusing and it was based on vector attacks.
hello thanks for helping with this question i was wondering if you could walk through PBQ 12, i definitely put the boxes in the right places. so i think, but i am actualy wrong lol.
I would need 90 minutes to answer this PBQ only. Hopefully nothing as hard as this come to exam.
Super cool video! Thanks!
Okay, so its nearly 20 min....can one afford to spend 20 min. on one PBQ...on a 90 min. exam!? or am I missing something?
Not at all redic!
It takes longer to explain who you're going to throw the pass to and why than it does to throw the pass. This is a five minute question.
Very informative! keep them coming! you have earned a sub and a like!

I really dislike how CompTia purposely goes out of its way to deceive you in questions and wording.
Thank you very much!
So it's pretty much "find the word."
It is not possible to finish this PBQ in under 5 minutes while under examination pressure and tension.
first time I have seen you miss one I guess first time for everything
Where can I find a good study guide for Security+ cert?
prof messer for 25 bucks
Jason Dion also has a good option, the one I took had 6 full length quizzes with explanations
Give me the networking stuff... this question is terrible.
I got nothing but code reading, and identifying outputs of ids cli. Luckily I passed, it was everything I wasn't questioned on in my 3 books.
Where is the link to these questions?

This is like a 10m question haha kust to read good lawd!
Spending already 6mins analyzing this question😢

I certainly hope not, going in for mine today, and I plan on just skipping all PBQs and coming back to them after all of normal questions.
