I used to work for a subsidiary of Logical Operations/CertNexus and was one of the first people with the MCCT. Literally, you could study for a single day and pass it the same day. It's an online, unproctored exam that you can take over and over until you pass.

I want to settle this once and for all. How does CompTIA score their exams? Every exam has a handful of PBQs, while the overwhelming majority of questions are multiple-choice. Most exams have a maximum of 90 questions, but could have fewer. All exams are on a 100-900 scale, with the...

I can't even begin to describe what a terrible idea it is to post your resume and CV with PII on a public message board. ESPECIALLY for a cybersecurity position.

Some training companies practically give away the classes just to keep clients happy. And the ones who have to suffer for it are the trainers, who are actually doing all the work. I finally set weekly minimums of what I would accept for an on-site class and a virtual class. Depending upon...

This is a thread about Linux+, not PenTest+.

On your score report from the exam, it should list the topics where you missed one more more questions. I would start your studies there.

If it's like most certs, approximately 10%-15%

CompTIA was purchased by Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm. They have a rather significant portfolio. https://www.thomabravo.com/portfolio

They aren't certifications. They are "COMPCERTS," which can be achieved by answering the online questions that go along with the training.

Meh, I'm just old. If you do anything long enough, it should get easier. But I still have occasional pangs of imposter syndrome to this day. I've always been a voracious learner. Even in college, high school, and before that. I get bored if I'm not learning something new. My company just...

I've been a technical trainer for 25+ years. I've taken more than 16 different cert exams from CompTIA and re-certified in many of them two, three, four, five, or even six times. I've even re-certified in two CompTIA certs that were "good for life" certifications. Mostly, this was due to...

Any one of these other certs will give you the full 75 CEUs to renew SecurityX. https://www.comptia.org/en-us/resources/ce/renew-options/renewing-securityx-single/ Any one of these certs will give you partial CEUs to apply against the required 75 CEUs to renew SecurityX...

I'm a big documentation guy. I can read through a 500-page book and go over the material again and again until I understand it and commit it to LONG-TERM MEMORY. When I study for a certification exam, passing the exam is not my ultimate goal. It's learning the material the exam covers because...

I completely disagree. I have passed 14 different CompTIA certification exams, and recertified several times for many of them, without taking a single practice exam. I didn't have any practice exams for the CISSP, CISM, or CCSP either. If you read the exam objectives thoroughly and learn the...

The best preparation for me was as follows: Studying and passing the A+ exams Studying and passing the Network+ exam Those two exams gave me the necessary foundation and vocabulary to prepare for the Security+ exam. Personally, I don't use practice exams. First, I've never seen an exam bank...

Unfortunately, now that the CTT+ has been retired, there is no tech industry trainer certification that provides a train-the-trainer. MCT only requires documentation that you have taught. It doesn't require that you've gone through a TTT program.
