CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam
- Thread starter Gregory Childers
- Start date
I am scheduled to take CASP+ with a voucher I received from school. I decided to take the SecurityX Beta partially as a prep for CASP+ and also because I only need to pass one of them to get the certification. $50 for two chances seemed like a good deal. The first thing I noticed was that scheduling was so much easier. Even though there are a few testing centers around, none of them offer CASP+. I had to schedule it on a Sunday, a month out and an hour away. SecurityX was local and readily available, presumably becuase there are PBQs but no Sims. That information is available on the objectives. After completing it, I still had an hour left and aside from a few questions that I felt like were missing some information, I felt good about it overall. I can also get on board with the slightly more technical comparison to CISSP.
Soooo... I sat the new CompTIA SecurityX beta cert last night.
Okay, here are my thoughts:
1. 117 questions, with plenty of time.
2. I had 4 PBQs, but was not too sure what to do on one of them.
3. I felt the multiple-choice questions were fair, some with choose (2) answers. Not bad.
4. All questions, from what I remember, are application scenarios. That is expected at this level.
5. I was tired at the end of the exam and was ready for a cold beer!
6. Who knows if I passed! If not, I will try again. I currently have the 003 version of CASP+.
All-in-all, CompTIA did a great job on this exam. If you are pursuing cybersecurity, I encourage you to learn this material and test your knowledge. I feel this certification compliments CISSP and other related cybersecurity certifications.
Keep at it, folks! Don't give up!

@Gregory Childers It work thank you so much for this useful information
I took the SecurityX beta yesterday and posted a review on TechExams.Net: https://community.infosecinstitute.com/discussion/comment/1186009/#Comment_1186009
Took mine today and i agree with your thoughts on the exam. Albeit, i was not as good at managing my time as you were and found myself racing to the finish line. Still recuperating 6 hrs later.

Well, the NDA was signed before telling us—nothing about the exam, tips, questions, or answers can be shared with others. I think, especially for us, as instructors, we should not even ask.
