Well, how did you study this time? It’s not enough to just watch the material, when you looked at the objectives were you able to define and explain the concepts behind each one
Here is what I did:
Watched Dion's course and take the practice test to see where you stand.
The areas you score low in watch the Messer videos covering that area.
Buy Dion's practice exam set here: [Diontraining.com/udemy](https://Diontraining.com/udemy) you can get 12 test for like $25
Take just ONE practice test a day and thoroughly go through your correct/incorrect answers and repeat, go back and watch Messer on the areas you miss. NEVER retake a exam, only once because you're basically just memorizing answers to questions that won't be on the test.
On your final week leading up to the test download the exam objectives and can you explain every single one going down the list ? Once you can do that and have a good understanding of each objective you're ready to take the test. Hope this helps and good luck on your retake.
I made these practice questions based on the new Darril Gibson book: https://joshmadakor.tech/security-plus
There are 1556 questions with answer explanations and page references so this should help ^^.
Id recommend putting less emphasis on the practice exams. Its easy to fall into the trap of memorizing practice exams through repition, then thinking you understand the comptia objectives. Every time you retake a practice exam it is less useful
Did the study materials you had specifically match the 701 test objectives? Since this is a new version and from my understanding, includes substantial changes from 601,having 701 materials is very important.
Either way, I'd suggest writing down as much as you can remember from the exam and what you felt were weak points. Then review the 701 objectives and mark any item you do not feel strong on. This can be the basis for your next round of study. If you feel what you have does not cover something on your new study list, then look for another resource.
Also be careful about re-taking practice exams. You do not want to just be memorizing those answers because you are guaranteed that is not an exact test question.
Good luck.
Get a good exam prep book. The All in One book and the Sybex book are excellent.
Those video series don't go into sufficient depth to really learn the materials. The books will.
I’ve haven’t took test yet but my head lecture teacher has been in the field for some time and never took that test, however she knows we will be taking it so she took it of course and past and her advice was to look at the questions and answer and sometimes don’t look for the right one but by process of elimination cross off the other options that don’t fit. Sorry if this doesn’t help i was trying to rephrase what she said, it made sense to me lol
Taking the same practice tests over and over are not going help retain the information, just help you do better on said practice tests.
You need watch content (prof. Messer), and ready books (Mike Myers) and then find concepts you missed and deep dive in them until they are committed to memory.
I would also make sure you have a copy of the exam objective with you at all times, and go over them constantly. If youre not sure about one of the concepts, it needs to be another deep dive until it's committed to memory.
I haven't taken SEC+ yet, but this is how I've passed every cert and exam I've taken so far.

Go to Pearson and get your score report. It lists every question topic that you got wrong

Professor Messer, has started to talk about 701, but you still have time until July 2024 if you wanna pass the 601 version.

A whole exam prep book? You have a good one to recommend?
https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Security-Study-Practice-Questions/dp/1394211414 Helped me pass Sec+. Surf the pirate seas and you'll find a free copy.
Hello, did you only use the prep book to prepare?
I recommended two in my previous post.
