I can't particularly think of any topic that was particularly difficult. There was one that seemed to go deeper than the exam objectives about ISC/SCADA, but that's all I can recall.

Passed SecurityX CAS-005

- Start date
Are they trying to run a virtual machine in the highly constrictive testing environment?
They had a VM question in both the previous CAS-004 and the current CAS-005.
Well done! I found that exam to be the toughest CompTIA exam and was thrilled to pass it. I passed A+, N+, Sec+, PenTest+, CySA+, Data+, DataX, Cloud+, CISSP (passed after 100 questions). Remaining targets: Linux+, CloudNetX hopefully in 2026.
The only current CompTIA exams I haven't completed are Linux+ and DataX. I've got DataX scheduled within a month.
I also passed the CISSP with the minimum number of questions, which was 125 at the time before they shortened the exam by 25 questions last year.
You can always do GIAC certification, much more challenging . ISC2 / ISACA / ComTIA are very good but the GIAC training goes deeper
I looked at a GIAC syllabus once and had to lie down afterwards
Looking forward from you to also share DataX exam experience, above all, all the best and congratulations in advance!
When I did the CISSP it stopped 100 question. Still waiting for DataX and CloudNetX voucher
ISC2 officially shortened the CISSP exam from 125-175 questions to 100-150 questions (for the CAT version) and reduced the time limit from four hours to three hours, effective April 15, 2024
.
DataX vouchers were distributed a while back. That's how I got mine to take the exam.
Congratulations! I just passed it this afternoon. It was, as you said, quite comprehensive. Challenging, but not impossible if you know your stuff.
I passed CISSP with 100 questions last week... I was not aware that they had shortened it, but I was expecting 150 questions.
It was 125-175 questions. Since last year, it is 100-150 questions. A long time ago it was over 300 questions with a paper and pencil exam.
I heard about that. I am not sorry that I missed those days!
