I also passed the CompTIA SecAI+ certification today. I took it a month ago and missed the 600 passing score by meer points, but took it again today (6/19/26) and destroyed it. Sometimes going back and reviewing material helps! Thanks @Stephen Schneiter for the voucher! On to Security+...

Congrats! I took it on a whim and got a 560, but I'm taking it again on June 19th. I think I "zigged" when I should've "zagged" on a couple of the PBQs.

I'm finishing up the CompTIA PenTest+ TTT session and the trainer has been able to switch back and forth between the Testout/Certmaster Labs and his presentation.

I like to next level my certification exam experiences. LOL!!

Fair enough answer. :)

What would be your scale of CompTIA exams from #1 the hardest to the #10 the easiest? :) And, if you were an IT organization looking for certifications - what would be your certification requirements for getting hired?

I started my IT Certification journey when I was 26 years old and at the time I was working on the old school Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification. I had a tooth extraction that morning and sat for the 6th exam that afternoon (Internetworking with TCP/IP) dull, sore, achy...

Way to get in there and get it done! Nice job!

I just remember some questions on the exam and was like, "What the hell is that about?", but then I went into "teacher mode" and remembered what I say to my students about the CompTIA exams: "If you know the objectives inside and out and see something on the exam that's way out there, it's not...

@Gregory Childers No, I'm looking at PenTest+ now and then take another crack at CySA+ (which I came within 20 points of passing when I took it last summer). I already scheduled a December test date for PenTest. I want to make sure I know that material 100% before taking that exam.

This has been quite the journey — one that started back in November! Between work and life in general, I finally just said, "Screw it... I'm going to sit down with this material, digest it, take the exam, and pass it!" Let me tell you — the Linux+ XK0-005 exam is not for the faint of heart...

In the exam, we are taking an RJ 45 connecting that to the AP and on the other end, we're taking a stripped Cat 5e/6 cable and punching it down on the back of the panel. There is no wall jack involved. So, technically the answer to the question is wrong. If we were taking the wall jack and...

Then, who can I contact to talk about the context of the question? I'm not looking at violating any rules agreements in here. Just looking for clarity on the question.

Hey CIN-ners, I took the A+ Core 1 220-1101 exam yesterday and wanted to "share" a question which I thought I was interesting. The problem based question showed an WAP and the back of a patch panel and the question was to select what cable you would use to connect the two. Looking at this...

Congratulations! I'm currently studying for my Linux+ exam. I plan to take it in November. Anything on there that I should really focus on? I know the objectives - CompTIA can potentially ask anything. :)
