Same here, I squeaked it through on Thursday (the day the voucher expired, lol). There was a lot more emphasis this time on tooling, and you really had to know what the tools do, generally how they work, not just basic definitions of key terms. I was so glad I spent the bulk of my study time on Domain 4, because that was the bulk of my exam. (Pen testing is a bit outside my wheelhouse, so I actually had to study for this one, lol.)

Took it a couple weeks ago--it's a solid exam!

Congrats, that's awesome! What did you think of the exam?

Thanks! Now I can confidently warn my students what’s coming.

Yes! CompTIA does what it says in exam objectives, for example, 40% Securing AI Systems. At first, from 90 Maximum number of questions in A+, I trusted A plus being harder than it, thought it was easy, which may be easy, but underestimating it, brought me into a surprise attack... The exam launched attacks… I patched my brain in real time. It finally agreed I should pass.

Haha, I can so relate. Get in there and wrangle those questions, the predictable panic (the worst is looking at that first exam question and thinking, "Why in the world did I think I could do this?!" Then take a deep breath, start reading the question, and realize, "Oh wait, I think I actually know this"), and then the mental calculations after every few questions of percentage progress compared to time passed. It's a whole experience, lol!

In fine tradition, I waited until the TTT voucher was about to expire before writing this exam.
But I must say, I really enjoyed this one - far better than PT0-002 when it comes to industry alignment!
Plus the performance questions definitely required you had in-depth experience with the tools used for reconnaissance, exploit, and post-exploit (including dumping and pivoting), which I really appreciated

I’m proud to share that I’ve just passed SecAI. This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support of Stephen. Thank you so much, Stephen, for guiding me through this journey. It was a tough exam, I was close to being taken down but I pushed through and made it.

If you are a CompTIA instructor, speak with your channel partner about gaining access. And as far as I know, CompTIA has stopped providing PDFs in favor of online-only content.

Congrats! Took mine a day after, Wednesday at 8pm, without any prep, just reviewed a quick summary of the tools. Then took the exam. Like you I passed and enjoyed this better than PT-003. Living on the edge can is fun, eyh!

I am interested and would be happy to engage with this. I would be glad to hear from you on the next steps if the offer is still open.
Best,

I passed CY0-001 several weeks ago. I was impressed by how the way CompTIA exam questions are asked has changed. I didn't find any of the simple questions like "what is port 443?" The questions I saw were all very well thought out. I had not reviewed CertMaster Learn for the CY0-001 exam before taking it. I relied on my self-study materials, which I developed from the exam objectives. Looking at the keywords in the exam objectives, CY0-001 has some new methods for asking questions; specifically, "Summarize ..." a topic and "Given a set of requirements...". The traditional "Compare and Contrast" type questions were used for domain 1 (only). There are "Explain" topics in domains 1, 3, and 4. Given a scenario, questions are in most of the domain 2 and part of the domain 3. Remember that domain 2 accounts for 40% of the material covered on the exam. Given a set of requirements that was used in just one topic, 2.2. That topic covers the use of tools such as Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

@Stephen Scheiter I have not gotten mine either.

@Stephen Schneiter did not receive mine yet. If you Please assist.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations an amazing win!!
