1 1 00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,970 Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course. 2 2 00:00:02,970 --> 00:00:04,500 Now, we have covered a lot of material 3 3 00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,000 during our time together. 4 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,020 Throughout this course, 5 5 00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:08,970 we have covered over 38 sections 6 6 00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:11,130 and more than 350 videos 7 7 00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:13,290 in order to provide you with everything you need to know 8 8 00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:15,060 to understand all four of the domains 9 9 00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:20,060 for the CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 exam. 10 10 00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:23,280 Now, let's review those four domains one more time 11 11 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,380 'cause we really haven't talked about them all specifically 12 12 00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:27,840 since our very first few lessons together. 13 13 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,880 Now, I know we didn't cover these domains in order, 14 14 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,990 and that's okay. 15 15 00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:32,640 I covered them all throughout the course, 16 16 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,510 but I rearranged them 17 17 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:35,250 to make it easier for you to understand 18 18 00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:37,830 and learn in the most efficient way possible. 19 19 00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:40,530 Now, CompTIA is not known for ordering their domains 20 20 00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:43,380 in the most logical or straightforward way sometimes. 21 21 00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:44,640 This is because they're not designed 22 22 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,130 to be taught in the order they're listed in the PDF. 23 23 00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:49,890 Instead, I've rearranged them to make it easier for you. 24 24 00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:50,723 And I promise, 25 25 00:00:50,723 --> 00:00:53,670 I did cover everything listed in those exam objectives 26 26 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:55,200 and each of their sub-bullets 27 27 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,090 as we went through the course together. 28 28 00:00:57,090 --> 00:00:59,970 Now, the first domain is called Security Operations, 29 29 00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:03,300 and it makes up 33% of the questions on your exam. 30 30 00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,970 The second domain is known as Vulnerability Management, 31 31 00:01:05,970 --> 00:01:08,100 and it makes up 30% of the exam. 32 32 00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,560 The third domain is Incident Response Management, 33 33 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,780 and this makes up 20% of your exam. 34 34 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:14,190 And the fourth and final domain 35 35 00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:15,900 is Reporting and Communication, 36 36 00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,420 and this makes up 17% of the exam. 37 37 00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:21,120 So as you can see, this is all stuff that we've covered 38 38 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,320 throughout our time together, 39 39 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:23,790 and I hope you enjoyed my approach 40 40 00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:25,530 of starting out with the fundamental concepts 41 41 00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:26,760 from threat intelligence, 42 42 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,130 and then moving into monitoring and configuring things, 43 43 00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:31,110 and then into analysis and forensics, 44 44 00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:32,820 and finally, into incident response, 45 45 00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:34,140 mitigating vulnerabilities, 46 46 00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:36,510 and the different technical and non-technical approaches 47 47 00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:38,310 to different security measures. 48 48 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:39,540 Now, I know that we have covered 49 49 00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:41,520 a lot of information in this course 50 50 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,020 and you're probably excited to run off, 51 51 00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:45,660 schedule your exam, take that certification test, 52 52 00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:48,900 and finally become CompTIA CySA+ certified. 53 53 00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,610 But before you do, 54 54 00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:51,840 I recommend that you stick around 55 55 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,520 until the end of this lesson. 56 56 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,540 This is because I'm going to give you 57 57 00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:57,060 my top five tips and tricks for raising your score 58 58 00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:59,790 on the CompTIA CySA+ certification exam 59 59 00:01:59,790 --> 00:02:02,880 so you can pass that exam on your first attempt. 60 60 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,540 After all the CompTIA CySA+ exam is expensive 61 61 00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:08,880 and you probably don't want to have to pay for it twice. 62 62 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaking of taking the exam, 63 63 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,790 how are you going to sign up for it 64 64 00:02:11,790 --> 00:02:13,650 and how do you schedule that exam? 65 65 00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:14,850 Well, you can take it 66 66 00:02:14,850 --> 00:02:17,280 at any Pearson VUE Testing Center worldwide, 67 67 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280 at either a local testing center or online. 68 68 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Now, personally, I've taken exams all over the world, 69 69 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,040 including North America, South America, over in Asia, 70 70 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,860 and even out in the Middle East at local testing centers. 71 71 00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,810 But starting a few years ago, 72 72 00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:33,450 Pearson VUE and CompTIA have created capability 73 73 00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:35,850 for you to take your certification exams online 74 74 00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:37,980 from the comfort of your own home or office 75 75 00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:40,800 using the Pearson VUE OnVUE Testing System. 76 76 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,470 To do this, you have to be in a room where you can be alone, 77 77 00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:45,300 you have to have a good internet connection, 78 78 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:46,440 and you have to have a webcam 79 79 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,460 so that the live person 80 80 00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:49,230 who's going to be watching you take the exam 81 81 00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:51,150 can make sure there is no cheating going on 82 82 00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:52,440 during your exam attempt, 83 83 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,140 and this helps protect the integrity of the exam. 84 84 00:02:55,140 --> 00:02:56,610 Now, to take this exam, 85 85 00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:58,710 you do need to purchase an exam voucher 86 86 00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:59,790 and then then you can go and schedule 87 87 00:02:59,790 --> 00:03:02,310 the day and time of the exam that you want to take it. 88 88 00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:03,570 You can buy your exam voucher 89 89 00:03:03,570 --> 00:03:04,950 by going to Pearson VUE directly 90 90 00:03:04,950 --> 00:03:07,530 when you're scheduling your exam at pearsonvue.com, 91 91 00:03:07,530 --> 00:03:10,140 or you can go to the retail store for CompTIA 92 92 00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:14,820 at store.comtia.org to buy it from the CompTIA web store. 93 93 00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:16,920 Now, if you do either of these two options though, 94 94 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,810 you are going to pay the full retail price 95 95 00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:20,970 for your exam voucher based on the location 96 96 00:03:20,970 --> 00:03:22,770 of where you're going to be taking that exam 97 97 00:03:22,770 --> 00:03:24,690 because CompTIA uses different pricing 98 98 00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:27,480 based on different countries and locations around the world. 99 99 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,970 For example, right now here in the United States, 100 100 00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:33,720 the cost of the CySA+ exam is around $400. 101 101 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,910 But if you'd like to pre-purchase your exam voucher 102 102 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:37,470 before you schedule your exam, 103 103 00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:39,990 you can actually save 10% off the retail price 104 104 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:43,890 by going to our website at diontraining.com/vouchers. 105 105 00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,230 From here, you can select a voucher you need, 106 106 00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:48,150 which is the CySA+ voucher 107 107 00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:50,250 and the country you're going to be taking the exam in, 108 108 00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:52,770 and then you can purchase that voucher directly from us 109 109 00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:55,530 if we carry the voucher for your particular country. 110 110 00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:57,060 Currently, we carry vouchers 111 111 00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:59,010 for about 50 countries around the world, 112 112 00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:00,930 and we're adding new countries all the time. 113 113 00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:02,520 So it is worth taking that step 114 114 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,010 and going over to diontraining.com/vouchers 115 115 00:04:05,010 --> 00:04:07,380 to see if we carry one for where you live. 116 116 00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:09,330 As a CompTIA Platinum delivery partner 117 117 00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:11,010 who helps tens of thousands of students 118 118 00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:12,570 pass their exams every year, 119 119 00:04:12,570 --> 00:04:15,570 we receive a special discount rate on these exam vouchers, 120 120 00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:17,610 and we pass on those savings to our students 121 121 00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:19,560 when they buy their vouchers from us. 122 122 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,480 When you order your voucher from our website, 123 123 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,790 you're going to receive a unique one-time use code 124 124 00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:25,200 to be able to schedule your exam, 125 125 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,430 as well as getting free access 126 126 00:04:26,430 --> 00:04:29,070 to our fully searchable library of CompTIA videos 127 127 00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:30,600 to help you with any last minute studying 128 128 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,880 that you may need to do before the exam. 129 129 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,550 Now once you have your CySA+ exam voucher 130 130 00:04:35,550 --> 00:04:37,350 with your unique one-time use code, 131 131 00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:39,180 you're going to go over to pearsonvue.com 132 132 00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:42,090 and schedule the exam for any day and time that you prefer, 133 133 00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:43,590 and pick whether or not you're going to take it 134 134 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:47,610 at a local testing center or online using the OnVUE system. 135 135 00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:49,920 So if you're willing to take that one extra step 136 136 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,740 of going to diontraining.com/vouchers first, 137 137 00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:54,420 you're going to be able to save 10% or more 138 138 00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:56,280 off the cost of your exam voucher 139 139 00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,380 and get free access to our searchable library 140 140 00:04:58,380 --> 00:04:59,880 as a free bonus. 141 141 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,410 All right, now as promised, 142 142 00:05:01,410 --> 00:05:03,240 here are my top five tips and tricks 143 143 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,430 for increasing your score on the exam. 144 144 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,380 First, use a cheat sheet. 145 145 00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:09,120 Now you're not actually allowed to carry anything 146 146 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,470 into the exam with you, 147 147 00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:12,540 but if you're at a local testing center, 148 148 00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:14,940 they're going to give you a whiteboard or a dry erase sheet 149 149 00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:17,490 that's about the size of a normal piece of paper. 150 150 00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:19,170 Once the clock starts on the exam, 151 151 00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:22,320 you can start brain dumping anything you want on that paper. 152 152 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,940 Things like ports and terms, 153 153 00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:25,410 or anything else that you might forget 154 154 00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:27,720 by the time you get to question 66 and beyond, 155 155 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,000 you want to be able to write down on this sheet. 156 156 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,040 Personally, I recommend that you use this sheet 157 157 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,510 and spend the first one to two minutes 158 158 00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:34,650 of your exam time, 159 159 00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:36,180 writing down those important things 160 160 00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:39,420 that you may forget later on because it will come in handy. 161 161 00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:41,040 If you're taking the test at home, 162 162 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,650 you're not going to have a physical piece of paper to write on, 163 163 00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:46,350 but instead they give you access to a digital whiteboard 164 164 00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:47,760 in the exam software, 165 165 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,400 and you can use this for that same purpose now. 166 166 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,690 Now, remember, you're not allowed 167 167 00:05:51,690 --> 00:05:53,190 to write anything down on the whiteboard 168 168 00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:54,837 until the clock starts for your exam. 169 169 00:05:54,837 --> 00:05:57,540 And at that point, you can brain dump anything you want 170 170 00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:59,430 and put it onto that whiteboard. 171 171 00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:02,370 Now my second tip is to skip the simulations. 172 172 00:06:02,370 --> 00:06:04,620 Now, simulations, or performance-based questions 173 173 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:06,210 as CompTIA likes to call them, 174 174 00:06:06,210 --> 00:06:08,250 are usually going to be the first three to five questions 175 175 00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:09,420 on your exam. 176 176 00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:11,550 Now for most students, they're going to find these 177 177 00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:13,650 to be the hardest questions on the exam. 178 178 00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:16,710 So my recommendation is that when the exam starts, 179 179 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:19,290 I simply want you to mark those for review, skip them, 180 180 00:06:19,290 --> 00:06:21,930 and then do all your multiple choice questions first. 181 181 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:23,910 Then when you get to the end of the exam, 182 182 00:06:23,910 --> 00:06:24,930 I want you to go back 183 183 00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:27,120 and do the simulations from the beginning. 184 184 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,620 Now, don't even read the simulations 185 185 00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:30,360 your first time through the exam. 186 186 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,760 Trust me, just skip them and move on. 187 187 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,990 By using this technique, 188 188 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:35,880 you're going to be able to give yourself more confidence 189 189 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,950 as you're going through the multiple choice questions, 190 190 00:06:37,950 --> 00:06:38,910 and that'll help you out 191 191 00:06:38,910 --> 00:06:41,760 once you get to the simulations at the end of the exam. 192 192 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,930 Now, when you finish going through 193 193 00:06:42,930 --> 00:06:44,610 all those multiple choice questions, 194 194 00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:45,750 I then want you to go back 195 195 00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:48,000 to those first three to five questions on the exam, 196 196 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,460 which are the PBQs or simulations. 197 197 00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:53,520 Remember, PBQs and simulations can take a lot of time. 198 198 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Some of them can take five to 10 minutes each. 199 199 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,610 And so what I want you to do 200 200 00:06:56,610 --> 00:06:57,900 is save them for the end, 201 201 00:06:57,900 --> 00:06:59,940 because otherwise, you can burn up a lot of time 202 202 00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:00,773 and then you'll find yourself 203 203 00:07:00,773 --> 00:07:02,460 rushing through the multiple choice. 204 204 00:07:02,460 --> 00:07:04,290 Trust me, students who do this 205 205 00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:06,660 and wait until the end to take those simulations 206 206 00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:09,630 do end up increasing their score by at least 5 to 10% 207 207 00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:10,830 over my other students 208 208 00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:13,290 who do the simulations at the beginning of the exam. 209 209 00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:15,090 Trust me, skip the simulations 210 210 00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:16,470 your first time through the exam. 211 211 00:07:16,470 --> 00:07:19,140 It's really going to help your score, I promise you. 212 212 00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:21,270 The third tip is about taking a guess. 213 213 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:22,103 If you're in doubt, 214 214 00:07:22,103 --> 00:07:24,840 I want you to take a guess from the possible answer choices. 215 215 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,550 Remember, most of these questions 216 216 00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:27,930 are going to be multiple choice, 217 217 00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:30,000 and there is no penalty for guessing incorrectly 218 218 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,960 on the exam. 219 219 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,970 Instead, you're only going to be given points 220 220 00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:35,910 added to your score anytime you select the right answer. 221 221 00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:39,240 So whether you skipped a question or you guessed it wrong, 222 222 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,360 it counts exactly the same as zero points. 223 223 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,370 So you might as well take a guess. 224 224 00:07:44,370 --> 00:07:45,900 If you're in doubt of the right answer, 225 225 00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,180 try to eliminate as many choices as possible 226 226 00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:50,580 and then guess between the remaining answer options. 227 227 00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:53,070 Multiple choice questions only have four options. 228 228 00:07:53,070 --> 00:07:54,570 So if you can figure out 229 229 00:07:54,570 --> 00:07:56,820 that one or two of those simply can't be right, 230 230 00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:58,680 you've already exponentially increased your odds 231 231 00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,940 of guessing the right answer 232 232 00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,370 from those remaining two or three options. 233 233 00:08:02,370 --> 00:08:05,610 Now, the fourth tip is to pick the best time for the exam. 234 234 00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:07,890 Are you a morning person or a night person? 235 235 00:08:07,890 --> 00:08:10,620 I want you to pick the time of day that works best for you. 236 236 00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:11,940 Don't try to squeeze in the exam 237 237 00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:14,070 after working a long day at the office either, 238 238 00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:15,690 it's going to hurt your score. 239 239 00:08:15,690 --> 00:08:18,960 Personally, I like to schedule my exams around 10:00 AM. 240 240 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,940 That way, I can take the day off work, 241 241 00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:22,440 I don't have to wake up super early, 242 242 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,880 and I can avoid rush hour traffic 243 243 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,680 on my way to the local testing center 244 244 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,450 if I'm taking it in person. 245 245 00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:29,310 Also, I want you to schedule your exam 246 246 00:08:29,310 --> 00:08:30,163 so you have enough time beforehand 247 247 00:08:30,163 --> 00:08:32,070 to be able to relax a little bit 248 248 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:33,690 before the clock starts counting down 249 249 00:08:33,690 --> 00:08:35,760 once you hit begin exam. 250 250 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,190 There's nothing worse than showing up at a testing center 251 251 00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:41,910 at 9:59 when your exam is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM. 252 252 00:08:41,910 --> 00:08:43,470 Instead, I want you to be there 253 253 00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:45,390 at least 20 to 30 minutes early, 254 254 00:08:45,390 --> 00:08:46,920 get comfortable at the facility, 255 255 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,480 use the restroom if you need to, 256 256 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,430 and then go in and take your exam. 257 257 00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:53,460 This will definitely help increase your score, I promise. 258 258 00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:54,840 Now my fifth and final tip 259 259 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,250 is that you need to be confident. 260 260 00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:57,360 You've got this. 261 261 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,130 When you're walking into that testing center 262 262 00:08:59,130 --> 00:09:01,350 or going into your home office to take your exam, 263 263 00:09:01,350 --> 00:09:04,140 you shouldn't be wondering, "Am I going to pass?" 264 264 00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:04,973 No. 265 265 00:09:04,973 --> 00:09:07,890 Instead, you should already know that you are going to pass. 266 266 00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:08,850 You should have already studied 267 267 00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:10,350 all the information in this course. 268 268 00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:12,600 You've watched the videos, you've taken the quizzes, 269 269 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,400 you've studied the downloadable study notes. 270 270 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,960 And if you're not confident right now, 271 271 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,570 then I want you to wait a few days to schedule your exam. 272 272 00:09:18,570 --> 00:09:19,530 In the meantime, 273 273 00:09:19,530 --> 00:09:21,690 I want you to go and take a bunch of practice exams 274 274 00:09:21,690 --> 00:09:23,520 and build up your confidence. 275 275 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,480 Now, in this course, 276 276 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,570 I've included a free full-length practice exam as a bonus 277 277 00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:28,890 to help determine if you're ready 278 278 00:09:28,890 --> 00:09:30,870 for the real certification exam. 279 279 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:32,640 I want you to take that practice exam. 280 280 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,140 And if you're not scoring high enough, 281 281 00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:35,490 restudy the areas you missed 282 282 00:09:35,490 --> 00:09:37,620 by rewatching the corresponding lessons, 283 283 00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:39,600 then take that exam again. 284 284 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,920 If you're still not confident, 285 285 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,570 go and take some more practice exams 286 286 00:09:42,570 --> 00:09:44,940 from a good authorized source or textbook. 287 287 00:09:44,940 --> 00:09:47,580 Now, Udemy does limit the number of practice exams 288 288 00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:50,130 I'm allowed to include in a video course like this one, 289 289 00:09:50,130 --> 00:09:53,040 but I do have a separate practice exam-only course 290 290 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,360 here on Udemy that contains 291 291 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640 six additional full-length practice exams 292 292 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,380 that you can use for additional practice 293 293 00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:00,450 as you're getting ready for your certification. 294 294 00:10:00,450 --> 00:10:01,740 If you'd like to get that course, 295 295 00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:04,230 you can go over to diontraining.com/udemy, 296 296 00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:06,630 and use the link there to purchase the practice exams 297 297 00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:09,060 for the lowest price currently available. 298 298 00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:10,680 Now, when you take a practice exam, 299 299 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,170 your goal is not to memorize the answer key. 300 300 00:10:13,170 --> 00:10:15,540 After all, my team and I wrote all these questions 301 301 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:16,560 that you're going to be taking 302 302 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,080 and CompTIA writes the official exam questions, 303 303 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,690 so they're not going to be the same word for word. 304 304 00:10:21,690 --> 00:10:24,540 But the same concepts are going to be covered by the exam 305 305 00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:25,950 and our practice exams. 306 306 00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:27,810 And my team and I try our best 307 307 00:10:27,810 --> 00:10:30,240 to mimic the way that the real exam writes their questions 308 308 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,430 so that you'll be well prepared on exam day. 309 309 00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:34,470 So please, do yourself a favor. 310 310 00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:36,210 Don't try to memorize my answer key 311 311 00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:38,220 and expect to pass the real exam. 312 312 00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:39,930 Instead, you need to take the time 313 313 00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:41,880 to understand why the right answer was right 314 314 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,590 and the wrong answers are wrong. 315 315 00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:44,580 If you can do that, 316 316 00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:46,170 you're going to be able to pass the real exam 317 317 00:10:46,170 --> 00:10:48,390 with no problem at all come test day. 318 318 00:10:48,390 --> 00:10:50,790 Now, when you're reviewing your practice exam results, 319 319 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:52,800 I've provide you with detailed explanations 320 320 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,620 for every single question in our practice exams. 321 321 00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:57,660 Please take the time to read the explanation 322 322 00:10:57,660 --> 00:10:59,850 so you can understand why you missed a certain question 323 323 00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:01,590 and why the right answer was right. 324 324 00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:02,423 If you do this, 325 325 00:11:02,423 --> 00:11:05,610 you're going to do really well on the real certification exam. 326 326 00:11:05,610 --> 00:11:08,700 So keep taking those practice exams until you're confident. 327 327 00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:10,500 Then go off, schedule your exam, 328 328 00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:14,010 walk into that testing center, and know you are going to pass. 329 329 00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:16,200 All right, if you follow my five tips, 330 330 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,000 you are going to be ready to take and pass 331 331 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,390 your CompTIA CySA+ exam on your first attempt. 332 332 00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:23,130 Now, I know you're going to do great on the exam, 333 333 00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:24,960 so keep studying, take the exam, 334 334 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,730 and let me know when you pass. 335 335 00:11:26,730 --> 00:11:30,240 Notice, I said when you pass and not if you pass. 336 336 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,060 I am so confident in your ability to conquer this exam, 337 337 00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:35,220 that when you do, I want to hear about it. 338 338 00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:36,600 Post about it on Facebook. 339 339 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,890 Go and post about it on LinkedIn 340 340 00:11:37,890 --> 00:11:39,180 and tag me in your post. 341 341 00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:41,310 Share your success story in our Facebook group. 342 342 00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:44,130 Or even go ahead and post it in the Q&A for this course. 343 343 00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:46,650 Your fellow students and I want to hear about your success 344 344 00:11:46,650 --> 00:11:47,520 and what worked for you 345 345 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,220 as you were studying for the CySA+ exam. 346 346 00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:52,470 Now, I know you're going to be super excited when you receive 347 347 00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:55,590 your CompTIA CySA+ certification in the mail, 348 348 00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:57,090 and you're going to want to be celebrating that 349 349 00:11:57,090 --> 00:11:57,990 with everybody else. 350 350 00:11:57,990 --> 00:12:00,720 So take the time and make sure you post about it. 351 351 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,040 All right, once again, 352 352 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,380 congratulations for making it to the end of the course. 353 353 00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:05,213 Now, let's go ahead 354 354 00:12:05,213 --> 00:12:06,750 and put all your newfound knowledge to work 355 355 00:12:06,750 --> 00:12:08,220 in our practice exams. 356 356 00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:10,770 Good luck and I hope to see you again in a future course 357 357 00:12:10,770 --> 00:12:13,080 as you continue upwards in your cybersecurity career 358 358 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,570 and continue to climb the CompTIA certification ladder 359 359 00:12:15,570 --> 00:12:17,720 into PenTest+ and CASP+.
