Is the CertMaster content enough to pass SecurityX exam

Just my two cents, but with work experience, when I am preparing for CompTIA exam I focus on CertMaster Practice as my main tool and supplement CertMaster content for areas that cause issue. Also, remember that SecurityX is a culmination of the security path, so if you have Security+, CySA+ and PenTest+ or any combination, you will see similar types questions on the SecurityX exam. To me, that makes it easier, similar to Network+ before Security+.

I have heard from folks that the labs in CertMaster perform are pretty good. So, I think you should be in good shape using the tools. Too me, it is understanding how the exam questions are worded and the terminology, which is why I like CertMaster Practice. Again, just my two cents. Everyone prepares differently.

How do you find the Account Executive for your university?

An admin, Stephen, said in one of his posts that that the best approach anytime anyone needs a voucher or discount is to reach out to their Account Executive. How do you find the Account Executive for your university? The Account Executive for DeVry University is no longer with CompTIA. How do I find the new Account Executive for DeVry University? I called the CompTIA Customer Support and they told me to reach out to my university to find out who the Account Executive is. However, I'm the contact! So, I cannot reach out to myself. Please help!

Is the CertMaster content enough to pass SecurityX exam

I can speak only from my perspective but I had some previous work experience, some graduate degrees, along with certs in the security field both from CompTIA among others, including Sec+ and CySA+, and to pass the SecurityX (CAS-005) I just added the Certmaster Perform studies.

  • Question
Is the CertMaster content enough to pass SecurityX exam

I've got 25 years IT experience and over 16 specializing in security, so I'm not coming into this completely ignorant. But in taking the unit quizzes and practice exam in CertMaster, the questions seem way different than the material I've been studying the last couple months. I'm also going through the TTT recordings now but that seems in line with the CM material.
Are the exercises relevant for the test? Also, is there a better alternative for learning what I need to pass the exam?
Thanks in advance!

Stephen,

Does CompTIA have Cyber/IT AG on their radar? Will they be developing training and/or a certification for those that are supporting SmartFarming? I know we have certs that will address some of the components that make up part of the new world of SmartFarming.

Inquiry About Becoming a CompTIA Instructor

Have you seen the Modern Classroom Certified Instructor [MCCT] from Logical Operations? It is a good straight-forward review of instruction techniques. It is a fast and affordable instructional "credential".
I used to work for a subsidiary of Logical Operations/CertNexus and was one of the first people with the MCCT. Literally, you could study for a single day and pass it the same day. It's an online, unproctored exam that you can take over and over until you pass.
