1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,730 Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course. 2 00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:04,260 Now we have covered a lot of material 3 00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:05,520 during our time together. 4 00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:08,250 Throughout this course, we've already covered 27 sections 5 00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:10,650 and roughly 300 lessons in order to provide you 6 00:00:10,650 --> 00:00:11,970 with everything you need to know 7 00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:13,560 in order to understand all five domains 8 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,820 of the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam. 9 00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:20,040 Now let's review those five domains one more time 10 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,110 because we really haven't talked about them specifically 11 00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:24,300 since our very first few lessons together. 12 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:26,130 Now, I know we didn't cover these domains in order 13 00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:27,600 and that's totally okay. 14 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,550 We covered them all throughout the time together 15 00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:31,680 in this course, but I rearranged them 16 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,120 to make it easier for you to understand 17 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,250 and learn in the best possible way. 18 00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:37,530 Now, CompTIA isn't known for ordering their domains 19 00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:40,170 in the most logical and straightforward order sometimes. 20 00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:43,110 Instead, this list is not designed to be taught in order 21 00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:45,780 and they're listed basically in this PDF as a big checklist 22 00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:48,630 of everything you're going to get questions on the exam. 23 00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:50,730 Now, I promise we did cover everything listed 24 00:00:50,730 --> 00:00:53,640 in those exam objectives and each of their sub-bullets 25 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,100 as we went through the lessons in this course together. 26 00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:59,910 Now, the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 certification exam 27 00:00:59,910 --> 00:01:02,340 contains those five domains or areas of knowledge 28 00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:03,690 that you're going to receive questions on 29 00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:05,790 when you sit for your certification exam. 30 00:01:05,790 --> 00:01:08,550 Your first domain is called General Security Concepts 31 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:11,280 and it makes up only 12% of your exam questions. 32 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,050 This domain is focused on your knowledge 33 00:01:13,050 --> 00:01:15,690 of fundamental security concepts, security controls, 34 00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:18,840 change management processes, and cryptographic solutions. 35 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,150 The second domain is Threats, Vulnerabilities 36 00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:24,750 and Mitigations, and it makes up 22% of your exam questions. 37 00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:27,120 This domain is focused on your ability to understand 38 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,310 common threat actors and their motivations, 39 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:32,070 to explain common threat vectors and attack surfaces, 40 00:01:32,070 --> 00:01:33,750 to explain types of vulnerabilities, 41 00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:35,910 to analyze indicators of malicious activity, 42 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:38,010 and to explain the purpose of mitigation techniques 43 00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:39,840 that are used to secure your enterprise systems 44 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,070 and networks. 45 00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:43,380 The third domain we have is security architecture 46 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:45,960 and it makes up 18% of your exam questions. 47 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,760 Now, this domain is focused on your ability 48 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560 to understand the security implications 49 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,260 of different architecture models, the security principles 50 00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:54,060 to secure enterprise infrastructure, 51 00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:56,190 the strategies to protect your organization's data, 52 00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:59,070 and the importance of resilience and recovery strategies. 53 00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:01,860 In domain four, we talked about Security Operations 54 00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:04,590 and this makes up 28% of your exam questions. 55 00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:06,720 Now, this domain is focused on your ability 56 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,860 to conduct threat management 57 00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:09,690 and vulnerability management activities, 58 00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:11,400 your ability to implement incident response 59 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,600 and recovery procedures, 60 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,790 and how you might apply common security techniques 61 00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:17,010 to your enterprise systems and networks. 62 00:02:17,010 --> 00:02:19,800 And then our final domain is domain five, and this is known 63 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,110 as Security Program Management and Oversight, 64 00:02:22,110 --> 00:02:24,690 and it makes up 20% of your exam questions. 65 00:02:24,690 --> 00:02:27,120 Now, this domain is focused on security governance, 66 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,860 risk management, and compliance, 67 00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,360 as well as auditing assessments 68 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,340 and the security awareness practices. 69 00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:35,160 So as you can see, this is all stuff that we covered 70 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,240 throughout our time together 71 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,770 and I hope you enjoyed our approach 72 00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:39,570 of starting out with the basics of security 73 00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:41,430 and then going through the less technical topics 74 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:44,460 like physical security, social engineering, data protection, 75 00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:46,800 governance risk and compliance, and things like that. 76 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,690 Before we moved into the more technical things 77 00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:51,120 like security architectures and infrastructures, 78 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,090 IAM solutions, technical vulnerabilities and their attacks 79 00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:55,830 and how to detect malicious activity 80 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:58,380 and how to secure your systems, monitor them for attacks, 81 00:02:58,380 --> 00:02:59,970 and how to conduct incident responses 82 00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:01,800 if an attacker is successful. 83 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,780 Now, I know we covered so much information 84 00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:06,060 in this course and you're probably excited to run off, 85 00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:08,430 schedule your exam and take that certification 86 00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:11,340 so you can finally become CompTIA Security+ certified. 87 00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:12,960 But before you do, 88 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,420 I recommend you stick around until the end of this lesson 89 00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:17,640 where I'm going to give you my top five tips and tricks 90 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:18,540 for raising your score 91 00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:20,940 on the CompTIA Security+ certification exam 92 00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:23,520 so you can pass that exam on your first attempt. 93 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,910 After all, the CompTIA Security+ exam can be expensive 94 00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:29,100 and you probably don't want to have to pay for it twice. 95 00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,440 Now, speaking of the exam, how do you sign up for it 96 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,240 and how do you schedule that exam? 97 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,730 Well, you could take it at any Pearson VUE Testing Center 98 00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:38,130 around the world, either at a local testing center 99 00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,650 or online from the comfort of your home office. 100 00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:43,050 Personally, I have taken exams all over the world 101 00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:45,750 including North and South America, out over in Asia, 102 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:46,830 and even in the Middle East 103 00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:48,570 at different local testing centers. 104 00:03:48,570 --> 00:03:50,520 But starting a couple of years ago 105 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,980 Pearson VUE and CompTIA have created a capability 106 00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:54,990 for you to take the certification online 107 00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:57,000 in the comfort of your own home or office 108 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,670 using the Pearson VUE OnVUE testing system. 109 00:03:59,670 --> 00:04:02,460 To do this, you have to be in a room where you can be alone, 110 00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:04,050 you have to have a good internet connection, 111 00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:05,130 and you have to have a webcam 112 00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:06,720 so the live person on the other end 113 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,610 can watch you while you take the exam 114 00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:10,320 to ensure there is no cheating going on, 115 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,560 so that way the integrity of the exam remains protected. 116 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,910 Now, to take the exam, 117 00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,769 you do have to purchase an exam voucher 118 00:04:16,769 --> 00:04:18,089 and then you can go schedule the day 119 00:04:18,089 --> 00:04:19,950 and time you want for the exam. 120 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:21,870 Now, you can do this by buying the exam voucher 121 00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:25,050 at pearsonvue.com directly when you're scheduling the exam 122 00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:28,290 or you can go over to the store at store.comptia.org 123 00:04:28,290 --> 00:04:30,330 and buy it from the CompTIA web store. 124 00:04:30,330 --> 00:04:32,040 Now, if you do either of these two options 125 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,890 you will pay the full retail price for your exam voucher 126 00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:35,790 based on the location 127 00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:37,530 of where you're going to be taking the exam at 128 00:04:37,530 --> 00:04:39,480 because CompTIA uses regional pricing 129 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,820 and uses different pricing around the world depending on 130 00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:43,500 where you're going to be taking the exam. 131 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,660 For example, right now here in the United States 132 00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:49,140 the cost of the Security+ exam is right around $400 133 00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:51,240 but if you pre-purchase your exam voucher 134 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,650 before you schedule the exam 135 00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:54,570 you can save 10% off that price 136 00:04:54,570 --> 00:04:58,140 by going to our website at diontraining.com/vouchers. 137 00:04:58,140 --> 00:05:00,270 From here, you can select the voucher you need 138 00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,280 which is the CompTIA Security+ voucher 139 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,230 which country you're going to be taking the exam in 140 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:06,510 and then you purchase your voucher directly from us 141 00:05:06,510 --> 00:05:08,850 if we have the voucher for your particular country. 142 00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:10,440 Now, currently we carry vouchers 143 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,330 for almost every country around the world 144 00:05:12,330 --> 00:05:14,130 and we're adding new countries all the time 145 00:05:14,130 --> 00:05:15,600 so it is worth taking that step 146 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,970 of going to diontraining.com/vouchers 147 00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:20,340 to see if we carry one for where you live. 148 00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:22,260 As a CompTIA platinum delivery partner 149 00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:23,760 who helps tens of thousands of students 150 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,110 pass their exams every year, 151 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:27,870 we receive special discount rates on these exam vouchers 152 00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:30,090 and we pass those savings onto you, our students 153 00:05:30,090 --> 00:05:32,430 whenever you order your exam voucher through us. 154 00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:34,620 Now, when you order your voucher from our website 155 00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:36,660 you'll receive a unique one-time use code 156 00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:39,000 and get free access to our fully searchable library 157 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,430 of CompTIA videos to help you with any last minute studying 158 00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:43,500 you may need to do before your exam. 159 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:45,840 Now, once you have your security+ exam voucher 160 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,640 with that unique one-time use code, 161 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,410 you're going to go over to pearsonvue.com, 162 00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:51,510 pick the day and time that you want to take your exam, 163 00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:53,340 schedule it, and then you'll pick out 164 00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:55,110 whether you want to go to a local testing center 165 00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:58,050 or take the exam online using the OnVUE system. 166 00:05:58,050 --> 00:06:00,120 So again, if you're willing to take that one extra step 167 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760 by going to diontraining.com/vouchers first, 168 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,190 you're going to save 10% off the cost of the exam 169 00:06:05,190 --> 00:06:06,090 and you'll get free access 170 00:06:06,090 --> 00:06:08,340 to our searchable library as a bonus. 171 00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:11,040 Alright, now as promised, here are my top five tips 172 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,080 for increasing your score on the exam. 173 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,730 First, use a cheat sheet. 174 00:06:14,730 --> 00:06:16,740 Now, I don't actually mean that you're going to go cheat. 175 00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:18,330 You're not allowed to actually carry anything 176 00:06:18,330 --> 00:06:20,940 into the exam with you, but if you're taking the exam 177 00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:22,380 at the local testing center 178 00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:24,960 they're going to give you a whiteboard or a dry erase sheet 179 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,510 that's about the size of a normal piece of printer paper. 180 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:29,370 Now, once the clock begins on the exam 181 00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:31,170 you can start brain dumping anything you want 182 00:06:31,170 --> 00:06:32,460 onto that piece of paper. 183 00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:34,920 Things like ports and protocols and terms 184 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,390 or anything else you might forget 185 00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:39,120 by the time you get to question 66 and beyond. 186 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,130 Personally I recommend that you use this sheet 187 00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:43,380 and then spend the first one to two minutes writing down 188 00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:45,060 those important things that you may forget 189 00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:46,620 later on during the exam. 190 00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:47,970 Now, if you're testing at home 191 00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:50,250 you will still have access to a digital whiteboard 192 00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:53,040 in the exam software that you can use for this same purpose. 193 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,050 Remember though, you can't write anything down 194 00:06:55,050 --> 00:06:57,090 on the whiteboard or the digital whiteboard 195 00:06:57,090 --> 00:06:58,980 until the clock starts on your exam 196 00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:01,410 and that 90 minutes starts counting down. 197 00:07:01,410 --> 00:07:04,530 Now the second tip I have is to skip the simulations. 198 00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:06,690 Now, simulations or performance-based questions 199 00:07:06,690 --> 00:07:08,640 as CompTIA calls them are usually going to be 200 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,920 the first three to five questions on the exam. 201 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,810 Now, most students find these to be the most 202 00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:15,000 difficult questions on the exam as well, 203 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,060 so my recommendation is that when the exam starts 204 00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:20,340 you simply mark those review, skip them 205 00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:22,890 and then do all your multiple choice questions first. 206 00:07:22,890 --> 00:07:24,510 Then at the end of the exam 207 00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:26,550 I want you to go back and do the simulations. 208 00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:28,200 I don't even want you to read the simulations 209 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,700 your first time through the exam. 210 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,270 Trust me, just mark them for review, skip them, and move on. 211 00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:35,130 By doing this, you're going to gain confidence 212 00:07:35,130 --> 00:07:36,420 through those multiple choice questions 213 00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:37,320 that are going to help you 214 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,750 when you get back to those simulations at the end. 215 00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:40,650 When you finish going through 216 00:07:40,650 --> 00:07:42,120 all your multiple choice questions, 217 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,610 now you can stop and go back 218 00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:45,750 and do those first three to five questions 219 00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:47,730 and get those simulations out of the way. 220 00:07:47,730 --> 00:07:50,580 Trust me, students who do this end up increasing their score 221 00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:52,800 by at least five to 10% over their peers 222 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,560 who try to do the simulations at the beginning of the exam. 223 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,540 Trust me here, skip those simulations 224 00:07:57,540 --> 00:07:58,800 your first time through the exam. 225 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,930 It really will help increase your score. 226 00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:03,180 Now, the third tip I have is to take a guess. 227 00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:04,013 If you're in doubt 228 00:08:04,013 --> 00:08:06,540 I want you to take a guess from the possible answer choices. 229 00:08:06,540 --> 00:08:08,130 Remember, there is no penalty 230 00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:10,260 for guessing incorrectly on this exam. 231 00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:12,780 Instead, you're only getting points added to your score 232 00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:14,220 when you pick the right answer. 233 00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:15,990 So whether you skipped a question 234 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:18,060 or you guessed it wrong, it doesn't matter. 235 00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:21,000 It counts the exact same, so you might as well guess 236 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,770 and have a chance of getting it right. 237 00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:24,150 If you're in doubt of the right answer 238 00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:25,170 I want you to try to eliminate 239 00:08:25,170 --> 00:08:27,510 as many answer choices as possible and then guess 240 00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:29,460 between the remaining answer options. 241 00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:31,860 Multiple choice questions only have four options 242 00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:33,809 so if you figure out that one or two of those 243 00:08:33,809 --> 00:08:34,860 simply can't be right, 244 00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:36,720 you have now exponentially increased your odds 245 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,980 of guessing the right answer 246 00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:40,559 from the remaining two or three options that you have. 247 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,260 Now, the fourth tip is to pick the best time for your exam. 248 00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:45,240 Are you a morning person or a night person? 249 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,460 I want you to pick the time of day that works best for you 250 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:48,690 and your body type. 251 00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:49,920 Don't try to squeeze in the exam 252 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,720 after working a full day in the office either. 253 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,430 It will not end well for you. 254 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:55,440 Now, personally, I like to schedule my exams 255 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,390 around 10 or 11 in the morning. 256 00:08:57,390 --> 00:08:59,250 That way I could take the day off work, 257 00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:00,660 I don't have to wake up super early, 258 00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:02,100 and I can avoid rush hour traffic 259 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,810 on my way to a local testing center 260 00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:05,790 if I'm going to be taking it in person. 261 00:09:05,790 --> 00:09:07,650 Also, when you schedule your exam 262 00:09:07,650 --> 00:09:08,700 make sure you have enough time 263 00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:10,740 before the test begins to relax a little bit 264 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:13,110 before the clock starts counting down on your exam. 265 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:15,510 There is nothing worse than showing up at the testing center 266 00:09:15,510 --> 00:09:18,450 at 9:59 when your exam starts at 10:00 AM. 267 00:09:18,450 --> 00:09:20,370 Be there at least 20 to 30 minutes early. 268 00:09:20,370 --> 00:09:21,780 Get comfortable at the facility, 269 00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:23,100 use the restroom if you need to, 270 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:24,870 and then go in and take the exam. 271 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:26,520 It will definitely help to increase your score, 272 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,870 I promise you. 273 00:09:27,870 --> 00:09:29,520 Now, my fifth and final tip is, 274 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,410 be confident, you've got this. 275 00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:33,210 Now when you're walking into that testing center 276 00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:34,560 or you're going into your home office 277 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:36,960 to take your exam online, you shouldn't be wondering, 278 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,640 hmm, am I going to pass? 279 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,790 No, instead, you should already know you're going to pass. 280 00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:43,500 You should have already studied all the information 281 00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:44,333 in this course. 282 00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:46,230 You've watched the videos, you've taken the quizzes 283 00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:48,180 and you've studied your downloadable study notes. 284 00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:49,680 And if you're not confident right now 285 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,620 I want you to wait a few days before you schedule that exam. 286 00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:54,180 In the meantime, I want you to take 287 00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:57,240 a bunch of practice exams and build up your confidence. 288 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,140 Now, in this course, 289 00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:00,990 I've included a free full length practice exam as a bonus 290 00:10:00,990 --> 00:10:02,250 to help you determine if you're ready 291 00:10:02,250 --> 00:10:04,050 for the real certification exam. 292 00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:05,760 I want you to take that practice exam. 293 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,110 If you're not scoring high enough, 294 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:08,490 restudy the areas you missed 295 00:10:08,490 --> 00:10:10,470 by rewatching the corresponding lessons 296 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:12,180 then take the exam again. 297 00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:13,470 If you're still not confident, 298 00:10:13,470 --> 00:10:15,030 go and take some more practice exams 299 00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:17,220 from a good authorized source or textbook. 300 00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:19,560 Now, Udemy does limit the number of practice exams 301 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,900 that we can include in a video course like this one 302 00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:24,570 but we do have a separate practice exam only course 303 00:10:24,570 --> 00:10:26,640 here on Udemy that contains six additional 304 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,710 full length practice exams that you can use 305 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:30,060 for additional practice. 306 00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:32,070 In addition to that, we have a second set 307 00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:34,590 of six practice exams that gives you more practice 308 00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:37,230 if you want it, with a total of over 1,200 questions 309 00:10:37,230 --> 00:10:39,000 available here on Udemy. 310 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,500 Now, if you want to get those courses 311 00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,750 you can visit diontraining.com/udemy 312 00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:45,090 and use the link there to purchase those practice exams 313 00:10:45,090 --> 00:10:47,520 here on Udemy for the lowest price available. 314 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,290 Now, when you take a practice exam, 315 00:10:49,290 --> 00:10:51,390 your goal is not to memorize the answer key. 316 00:10:51,390 --> 00:10:53,670 After all, my team and I wrote those questions 317 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:56,190 and CompTIA writes the official exam questions. 318 00:10:56,190 --> 00:10:58,230 That means you're not going to see our questions 319 00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:00,810 on the exam word for word, but you are going to see 320 00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:03,003 the same concepts being covered by that exam. 321 00:11:03,003 --> 00:11:05,490 Now, we also try our best to mimic the way the real exam 322 00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:06,720 writes their questions too, 323 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,090 so that way you'll be well prepared on exam day. 324 00:11:09,090 --> 00:11:10,530 Most students give us the feedback 325 00:11:10,530 --> 00:11:11,940 that they find our practice exams 326 00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:14,280 are the closest to the real thing that you're going to find. 327 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,220 So please, do yourself a favor and don't try to memorize 328 00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:19,980 our answer key and expect to pass the real exam. 329 00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,570 Instead, you need to understand 330 00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:22,830 why the right answer is right 331 00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:25,410 and the wrong answers are wrong, and if you can do that, 332 00:11:25,410 --> 00:11:26,850 you're going to be able to pass the real exam 333 00:11:26,850 --> 00:11:28,380 with no problem come test day 334 00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:30,240 regardless of what they ask you. 335 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,825 Now, when you review your practice exam results 336 00:11:31,825 --> 00:11:34,110 we have provided you with detailed explanations 337 00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:36,780 for every single question on our practice exams. 338 00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:38,700 Please take the time to read the explanation 339 00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:40,920 so you can understand why you missed a certain question 340 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,990 and why the right answer was right. 341 00:11:42,990 --> 00:11:45,150 If you do this, you're going to end up doing really well 342 00:11:45,150 --> 00:11:47,730 on the real certification exam, I promise you. 343 00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:50,760 So, keep taking those practice exams until you're confident. 344 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,410 Then go off, schedule your exam 345 00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:53,760 and walk into that testing center 346 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,230 knowing you're going to pass. 347 00:11:55,230 --> 00:11:57,390 All right, if you follow our five tips 348 00:11:57,390 --> 00:11:58,770 you are going to be ready to take and pass 349 00:11:58,770 --> 00:12:01,500 your CompTIA Security+ exam on your first attempt 350 00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,300 and I know you're going to do great on the exam, 351 00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,040 so keep studying, take the exam, 352 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,930 and let us know when you pass. 353 00:12:06,930 --> 00:12:10,020 Notice I said when you pass and not if you pass 354 00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,250 that is because we are confident 355 00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,740 in your ability to conquer this exam, and when you do, 356 00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:15,060 we want to hear about it. 357 00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:17,280 Post about it on Facebook, tag us in it, 358 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,540 go ahead and put it on LinkedIn 359 00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:20,940 and then let us know that you passed this exam. 360 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:22,830 Share your success story in our Facebook group 361 00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:24,180 or even go ahead and post about it 362 00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:27,000 in the Q&A for this course, your fellow students and I 363 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,820 want to hear what worked for you and how you were successful. 364 00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:31,380 Now, I know you're going to be super excited 365 00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,690 when you receive the CompTIA Security+ certification 366 00:12:33,690 --> 00:12:35,130 in the mail from CompTIA. 367 00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:37,560 So once again, congratulations on making it 368 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:38,580 to the end of this course. 369 00:12:38,580 --> 00:12:40,560 Now let's go put all your newfound knowledge to work 370 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:41,940 in our practice exams. 371 00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:44,340 Good luck and I hope to see you again in a future course 372 00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:46,530 as you continue to climb upwards in your career 373 00:12:46,530 --> 00:12:48,750 and go up that CompTIA certification ladder 374 00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:51,353 in the CySA+ and PenTest+.
