Passed PT0-003 today

smashed the exam today!
Huge thanks to CIN and a big shoutout to @Stephen Schneiter & CompTIA for making it happen.
On to the next one! SecurityX💪
Congratulations! In my opinion, SecX is a bit easier than PenTest+ because you don't have to know 50+ different tool sets. Good luck!

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?

Exams are easy or difficult based on your level of experience. Two decades ago, I thought Security+ was easy. Now I find it incredibly simple after passing six different versions of the exam.

The second question is impossible to answer because all jobs are role-specific and have their own needs. A data scientist would have no need for A+ and an entry-level help desk employee would have no need for CloudNetX.

Fair enough answer. :)
 
How was your experience
The exam was definitely challenging — it wasn’t a walk in the park — but it was manageable if you’d put in the work. Some questions required deeper thinking and a solid grasp of the concepts, while others were more straightforward if you’d done enough practice. Time management was key. Overall, it pushed me, but it wasn’t unfair. With good preparation, it was tough in the right way.
