Leave a Review CompTIA Security+ Pocket Prep
Not even close to what’s on the actual exam
I see a lot of positive reviews about this app but unsure if they’re from users who passed or not. I purchased the ultimate edition and must say I’m disappointed. I took and passed the live exam and used this app maybe once a week. My primary sources were Darril Gibson and Professor Messer. I would Highly encourage anyone to read his book and purchase his premium content. Most of the questions on this app aren’t even covered in the Comptia objectives! The live exam will mostly consist of scenario based questions, not factual based as they are in here. I’ll give them this, this app is good for brute force memorization but again, that’s about it.
Lastly, I found that most of the questions and answers were completely irrelevant and not covered In the objectives. It’s more of a nice to know but not necessary. Please don’t waste your money on this! Save yourself some gas money and use the free edition which is useless as well.Show lessGuy Db
Passed!
After my first failed attempt, I decided to purchase PocketPrep Security+ to help go over areas I was weak in. After consistently scoring in the mid 80s, I went for my test and passed on my second attempt! To anyone who is studying for the Security+, this will help you in areas you are weak in. I highly recommend reading a book and taking as many pretests as you can.Show lessAlex_Reyes86

This was was good practice for, really builds your knowledge along with your other study materials.Bajandan
Pretty good prep for Sec+
I write questions for the SEC+, CEH, CISSP, CASP, CCFP, CCNA and some others so I know good questions when I see them.
It’s also easy to see that questions are recycled from other exams, which isn’t a bad problem but it distracts from what is actually on the Sec+ exam.
Some of the questions’ answers are incorrect but for the most part, they’re on target.
They’re well-written and we’ll-composes questions with minimal errors in grammar and punctuation.
The questions are simplistic and explanations don’t go into much detail. No big deal there.
The app and web portal interfaces are pleasant and nicely-presented.
Overall, they have a good system of app, web portal, questions and exam setup process so I’m satisfied with my purchase of ultimate version.
**** Update after Exam: Failed the exam by 3 points after repeated study of the 500 Sec+ Questions.
They don’t seem to honor their money back guarantee because they don’t respond to their support email.Show lessGregory F. Miller
Go buy other app! Waste of money! Irrelevant Questions!
Do not waste your money for this app. Old and useless questions, overpriced. For this price you can buy 3 Darryl Gibson app which is way better than this! In addition after you purchase, there is no way they will return your money back, do not make my mistake that I maid. No customer support at all, do not reply to your requests!Show lesseroodit
Almost 5 stars... almost.
Wish it had explanations for the right answers AND the wrong answers. Also, this app would be THE BEST if it had a simulated flash cards for acronyms!Berklee Music Student
Very good
Small selection but similar to testing questionsfaithannawyant
Even if you pay for more questions they repeat
I paid $15 for the 250 question version, thinking that I would get 250 completely random and different questions. Instead, out of every 10 question test I took maybe 1 or sometimes no questions were new. Didn’t help me study very much.Marckthew the 9th
Not enough
This app has a nice GUI but it is not difficult enough nor does it have sufficient questions and depth to bring you successfully through the exam!Tristan bi
A bit frustrated
This review is for both the app and the online version. Overall, I am fine with the set of questions and the answers. This app alone isn’t going to get you to pass the exam, especially if you don’t have plenty of real life experience in the field. I’ve been frustrated with this app and the online version. A while back, I even reached out via the app but no one got back to me. For the online version, over and over, when selecting a subject sometimes I am able to test on all available questions but other times I can only do 62. I know for a fact that 2.0 has 100 questions so where is the 62 coming from? I tried 3.0 this morning and I could only test 50 questions but now I am able to do all 100. I don’t see the logic. For the mobile app - I often use it on metro and I am convinced that the scoring is off at times maybe when signal cuts off and certain answers aren’t registered/ captured? The high score I would get wasn’t indicative of all the questions I was missing.Show lessBoncuk12345
