That is exactly the answer that I gave, but I told the class that I would check with people who were smarter than I am to be sure. Thanks @Gregory Childers !

I have a couple of students who are telling me that on a practice exam they were asked to identify a particular NIST publication. While I have told them they need to know the talking points of all of the ones referenced in the course, would they be asked on the exam to call out that 800-53 is...

Most of my exams were either vouchers or extreme discounts... as we are MCTs I think we pay 25% of the regular rate. All of my CompTIA exams and ISC2 exams were vouchers. I agree though... the CISSP (which I don't have yet, but I did pass the exam and am waiting for the Endorsement process) is...

That makes sense… but the Advanced Security Professional still sounds more dignified ;) I confess that as I was looking for something else yesterday I came across a page with a bunch of CompTIA certs that I did not even know existed... so I am sure that you are right about that!

You are 100% right. Something that I have found of late... the training companies that have worked with me for longer periods are more than happy to let me audit the classes (if I need it) and then provide me an exam voucher. I suppose that comes with the years of work I have put into becoming...

I am sure William Shakespeare would agree that it does not matter, but as I preen over passing CAS-005 yesterday, I wonder if CompTIA's marketing department might not have taken a wrong turn on this one. Certified Advanced Security Practitioner... it sounds reverential - a title to be...

While I agree that the exams should be more rigorous, let's be honest... If someone wants to study and cram for an exam then there is no need for the experience... simply to pass. I am reminded of the paper MCSEs of the late 1990s. Hopefully they at least learn something along the way. I wish I...

I heard about that. I am not sorry that I missed those days!

I passed CISSP with 100 questions last week... I was not aware that they had shortened it, but I was expecting 150 questions.

Congratulations! I just passed it this afternoon. It was, as you said, quite comprehensive. Challenging, but not impossible if you know your stuff.

Way to go! Keep up the great work!

I never officially worked for Microsoft, but I was a virtual technical evangelist (on Damir's and then Pierre's team) for a while... and I was an MVP for many years. and yes, I still sport a MS laptop backpack (currently logo'd Windows Server 2012 and Veeam! :) )

Jason I think you and I have moved in the same circles for years, and I am reasonably sure we have met a few times. If you knew me a decade ago (or even less) you would have seen me in Microsoft branded shirts almost all of the time... products, certifications, and even corporate logos were my...

As most of us confirmed, CompTIA does not currently have any adaptive exams. If you had enough to pass, then you pass...

It is now working... https://store.comptia.org/

Could be, but that would be very quick...?

My ESET antimalware is showing 'Potentially unwanted content found. This web page is on the list of websites with an uncertain reputation...'

My anti-malware is reporting that store.comptia.org is currently a malicious and dangerous site. Has anyone else had this experience?

Well said Matthew!

I remember when I took my first Microsoft training classes in 2001 I was told that the exams had been adaptive, but they did away with that pretty quickly. I remember that when they first tried to do the interactive exams (with hands-on simulation questions) they discussed with us the...
