Security+ (SY0-601): Passed with a 777
I just finished the Security+ exam and passed with a score of lucky 777. I had prior professional experience in cyber security so I had a much easier time compared to the Network+.
Here's what I used to study:
Mike Chapple's book: I read the entire book. It's a bit too wordy. I took all the practice exams and used that to focus on what I was missing.
Mesener's YouTube Videos: I briefly looked at his videos for a refresher. Some concepts were made more clear, but overall, I didn't find his videos useful as my conceptual understanding was already solid.
Mike Meyers' Udemy exams: I found these very helpful, as they were with the Network+. The sample labs were not so useful as they were nothing like the exam's lab.
I've been studied here and there since July. I didn't exactly have a consistent schedule. Towards the end of the year, I really cracked down on studying with a flashcard app.
I might do either Pentest+ or SSCP to eventually get the CISSP.
As always, I thank this subreddit for the resources and guidance it gives!
