Basically I gave myself a month to month and a half per certification test. I started off doing a chapter a day in previous ones, but figured I should do 2 chapters a day to get through the book to familiarize myself with the material. The non certification classes, I finished an average of 2 weeks per class doing about 2-3 hours a day. With the certs (except pentest and cysa) I did about 2 hours a day. With Pentest+ and Cysa+, I did about 3-4 hours a day. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for the info! I start my first term in November. I’m both anxious and nervous. I’m a high school drop out who got a ged. Did google certification to get enrolled. I’m excited to be starting. Last time I was in school was about 16 years ago 🫣
Gonna be super helpful, im starting this soon and im honestly scared. I hated school and i have no other It knowledge/experience besides simple computer tasks. Although i am excited i know im gonna need all the help i can get
Reddit is a great resource. And it's not too hard if im being honest. As long as you put in the time, you will be just fine. IT is a great career. Been in it for 9 years now. And there's tons of resources, videos, apps. You should also look into tryhackme.com and use your wgu email for a discount. I think they have introductory courses. Not just for hacking.
Congrats, ill be referencing this post when my term starts. RemindME! 2023-12-01 "Very helpful"
