Needed a 675, I got a 771. I used Jason Dions online Courses and Practice tests on Udemy and some of Mike Meyers video courses on LinkedIn Learning. Between that and all the common knowledge and troubleshooting practice I've gotten from being a PC gamer, I felt pretty confident and wasn't really caught off-guard at all. Some of the networking stuff did trip me up a bit, but for the most part if you read the questions correctly and use process of elimination, you'll do fine. I wish any of ya'll getting started in your IT careers the best of luck!

This is your mother speaking. I just wanted to tell you how proud of you I am son. I know this was very important for you and I'm glad you are sharing this with all of your online friends. You're the best my little schmoo. Love you unconditionally.

Of course, brush up on Network info, command line or powershell commands, know your ports,
and, as always.....brush up on Subnetting.

Good Luck!

I passed Security+ on my first attempt a couple years ago. I primarily used Gibson's book and Professor Messor YouTube videos and his practice questions/notes.

I dont trust Gibson. I used his Linux+ material and his practice test had tons of wrong answers. I sent emails to have them corrected(they did fix it) however some of those questions had been up for years. This wasnt a woopsy mistake. It was common sense stuff that any linux user knows. It was basic day 1 stuff. The guy teaches subjects he doesnt himself know. Hes a fraud. Stick with Jason Dion.
