I predict we are going to be seeing and hearing this comment alot more in the future on all exams.

Good information, particularly for those bigger exams where folks are scraping up CEUs like mad. /r

Congrats on the pass!

Hi Dan! Thanks so much for the support! Please feel free to share with your colleagues! Thanks again!

I love national university that is where I got my PhD from. I'd love to help but I can't, I don't work in a ZTA, but I can post it to my college if you would like. Let me know if you'd want that.

Thanks for all the good seminars, but I did get 3 scenario questions on the test, that were pretty cool. Just FYI on that one. In case you're teaching this.
Danker!

Congrats!!!!! Ho

Thanks I really appreciate that. Honestly, the SecAI exam was a solid challenge it pushed me to think critically about security concepts in AI systems rather than just memorizing definitions. I liked how it blended technical depth with practical scenarios, so it felt less like a test of rote knowledge and more like proving you can apply ideas in real-world contexts.

What stood out most was how much emphasis it placed on ethical considerations and risk management. It wasn’t just about “can you secure a model,” but also “can you anticipate how it might be misused.” That perspective made the exam feel relevant and forward-looking. One thing I noticed about the SecAI exam is that the time factor really matters. If you don’t prepare thoroughly, the clock can feel like your biggest enemy questions are layered and require careful thought, so rushing isn’t an option.

Any insights about the PBQ questions as it compares to the CompTIA training platform ?

Thanks

They were definitely tough. They’re very different from the CompTIA training platform practice questions because instead of just recalling information, you have to actually apply what you know in a simulated, hands on scenario.

The training platform is great for building knowledge and practicing multiple choice style questions, but PBQs really test whether you can use that knowledge in a practical way. For me, they were challenging because they felt closer to real-world problem solving than just theory.

If you’re preparing, I’d recommend not relying only on the platform, try to get some hands-on practice or lab work. That makes the PBQs feel less overwhelming when you face them in the exam.

Hello! My name is Melissa Johnson, and I am a doctoral student at National University. I am conducting an online survey to study the impact of productivity in Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) environments. In order to participate, you must be age 18 or older, work in the United States, your organization has either implemented or is in the process of implementing Zero Trust security policies and you have experience with Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) in virtual desktop and remote work environments.

The survey is anonymous and has 31 questions and it is estimated to take less than one hour to complete the survey and will ask questions about demographics, ZTA authentication experience, implementation of ZTA context, perceived system performance, perceived user productivity, and user satisfaction.

Today I passed the DA0-002: CompTIA Data+ Certification Exam. I had already passed the previous version DA0-001, and I thought this one was much easier.

One PBQ, 79 M/C questions. A few AI questions scattered throughout, but otherwise not much new.

Overall, it's a good introductory data certification for people getting started on their career path in data analytics.

I'll be taking the new DataSys+ soon. I'm interested to see how much it has changed since the previous version.

Congratulations Greg

Same here, I squeaked it through on Thursday (the day the voucher expired, lol). There was a lot more emphasis this time on tooling, and you really had to know what the tools do, generally how they work, not just basic definitions of key terms. I was so glad I spent the bulk of my study time on Domain 4, because that was the bulk of my exam. (Pen testing is a bit outside my wheelhouse, so I actually had to study for this one, lol.)

Jill West · 2026-05-03T09:07:54-0500

Took it a couple weeks ago--it's a solid exam!

Jill West · 2026-05-03T09:07:05-0500

Congrats, that's awesome! What did you think of the exam?

Thanks! Now I can confidently warn my students what’s coming.

Yes! CompTIA does what it says in exam objectives, for example, 40% Securing AI Systems. At first, from 90 Maximum number of questions in A+, I trusted A plus being harder than it, thought it was easy, which may be easy, but underestimating it, brought me into a surprise attack... The exam launched attacks… I patched my brain in real time. It finally agreed I should pass.

Haha, I can so relate. Get in there and wrangle those questions, the predictable panic (the worst is looking at that first exam question and thinking, "Why in the world did I think I could do this?!"

Then take a deep breath, start reading the question, and realize, "Oh wait, I think I actually know this"), and then the mental calculations after every few questions of percentage progress compared to time passed. It's a whole experience, lol!

I found that the CompTIA SecAI+ certification can provide partial CEUs towards renewing other CompTIA certifications. Conversely, it can also earn partial CEUs from other CompTIA certifications as well.

In fine tradition, I waited until the TTT voucher was about to expire before writing this exam.
But I must say, I really enjoyed this one - far better than PT0-002 when it comes to industry alignment!
Plus the performance questions definitely required you had in-depth experience with the tools used for reconnaissance, exploit, and post-exploit (including dumping and pivoting), which I really appreciated

Congratulations.

I’m proud to share that I’ve just passed SecAI. This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support of Stephen. Thank you so much, Stephen, for guiding me through this journey. It was a tough exam, I was close to being taken down but I pushed through and made it.

Congratulations

If you are a CompTIA instructor, speak with your channel partner about gaining access. And as far as I know, CompTIA has stopped providing PDFs in favor of online-only content.

Gregory, you're a fountain of knowledge! Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge.

Congrats! Took mine a day after, Wednesday at 8pm, without any prep, just reviewed a quick summary of the tools. Then took the exam. Like you I passed and enjoyed this better than PT-003. Living on the edge can is fun, eyh!

Emeka Umegbeaka · Saturday at 12:05 AM

I am interested and would be happy to engage with this. I would be glad to hear from you on the next steps if the offer is still open.
Best,

I passed CY0-001 several weeks ago. I was impressed by how the way CompTIA exam questions are asked has changed. I didn't find any of the simple questions like "what is port 443?" The questions I saw were all very well thought out. I had not reviewed CertMaster Learn for the CY0-001 exam before taking it. I relied on my self-study materials, which I developed from the exam objectives. Looking at the keywords in the exam objectives, CY0-001 has some new methods for asking questions; specifically, "Summarize ..." a topic and "Given a set of requirements...". The traditional "Compare and Contrast" type questions were used for domain 1 (only). There are "Explain" topics in domains 1, 3, and 4. Given a scenario, questions are in most of the domain 2 and part of the domain 3. Remember that domain 2 accounts for 40% of the material covered on the exam. Given a set of requirements that was used in just one topic, 2.2. That topic covers the use of tools such as Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
