I passed the SecurityX exam this morning. I passed the CAS-004 back in April 2022.

It's a challenging, comprehensive exam. I had 88 questions. 4 PBQs and 1 VM question.

Nice. I have mine coming up later this year. Going through the CertMaster Perform material in depth to see how well it *actually* prepares a candidate to take SecurityX. I'm not entirely confident in that, as I went through the DataSys+ materials and took that exam - there were topics on the exam that did not appear in the training materials.

I've always considered there to be a disconnect between the CompTIA training materials and the actual exam, IMAO.

I didn't use any study materials. Since this was a recertification, I just went in blind and took it. I only saw a few questions on topics that weren't already covered on the previous version of the exam. And I was surprised of the ease of 3 of the 4 PBQs.

One thing I did notice about the CASP+/SecurityX exams:

I took both the CAS-004 and CAS-005 and passed them both. And in both cases, the exams had a VM question. Also in both cases, I skipped the question entirely. In neither case did it make a difference in my passing. Either the question is unscored or it counts for very little. It seems like the question has low ROI if it can be skipped and not impact the results.

I've got DataX coming up in the next month. Time to work on that one.
