• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

Congrats! In your opinion, is this a certificate test something a high school student would be successful with? I am a Teacher trying to determine if this assessment will be a good fit for one of my classes. Best of luck in the future!
Nope this cert requires some bit of experience in the cyber industry. Unless let them have a year or so doing practicals, so they can get on their feet.

Based on the draft exam objectives, I predict SY0-801 will be harder. I noticed several adds (AI) and refinements (some GRC topics have moved to Operations) but few deletes (deprecated protocols). Add to that the trend towards scenario-based questions in all CompTIA exams, and it will be interesting.
It looks like all these multiple-choice hero's are in for a rude awakening. I actually heavily prefer hands-on tasks over multiple choice so I hope it increases. I can't stand multiple choice focused exams. PBQ's are way harder to cheat so that will disrupt that exam for you pump and dump economy that's so prevalent.
