Security+ Test Prep

This application was incredibly close to what was asked on the exam, in regards to SLE, ALE, ARO and a few others. Honestly this application alone may well be what I would have needed, also the explanation portion of the practice quizzes are awesome. I appreciate the work that has been put into this, but please just add a little more questions. This app is awesome!

Great addition to study with D.Gibson book

I was happy to find this app as I was studying with D. Gibson's book, and I find it the most resourceful among the other study materials that I've used. I love that, in addition to tests, the app has flashcards and acronyms—love, love, love!

The UI is simple and clean; however, some elements are not designed in the most efficient manner. It would be great to also be able to use the keyboard to navigate through questions, answer questions, and use flashcards.

I am using the free version, and here are some things stopping me from subscribing:

- Custom tests: I really miss subdomains. I would be happy to select subdomains for practice tests as I go through the book, and in general, select any subdomain that I need to practice.
- Practice tests: There are only 6 tests with 20 questions each.
- Subscription: The subscription is overpriced for the app's functionality. Additionally, it would be great to have a weekly option. I'm not sure why they offer a yearly subscription when, on average, it takes 2-4 months to study and pass the Security exam.

Overall, it is a great app.

Great study tool for Sec+

Well thought out study questions, practice tests, flashcards and elaborate answers with reference to the exam topics!

It’s mixed of both sec 601 and sec701

Sadly this app is useful in the difficulties of 601 and 701 but it mixed both test. It’s less useful finding out what I got wrong is part of one test I’m not studying. It needs to be split and marked 601 questions so it makes sense

Best study App there is

This is an awesome study app and greatly helped me to pass my 601 Sec+ exam the first time. I used the app and studied until it told me I was ready to test, took the test and passed. Would highly recommend this app.

Overall the app is really useful!

But I have come across a question in the app which doesn’t seem right. I answered the question correct but it shows as question D being correct but the explanation doesn’t add up, this is in the Threats, Vulnerabilities and Mitigation section,

‘Whilst investigating a recent data breach, investigator's discovered malware on Barts computer, Antivirus software didn’t detect it. Logs show a user with local administrator privileges installed it. Which of the following answers the BEST chance of preventing this from happening again in the future?’

A- enforce an application a low list (marks this red)
B- enforce an application block list
C- implement BYOD policy
D- implement a DLP system (marks this green)

Explanation:
Enforcing an application allow list (sometimes called an application white list) would prevent this. An application allow list identifies the only applications that can be installed on a computer and would not include malware. An application block list identifies applications to block, but malware changes so often, this wouldn’t help. A bring your own device (BYOD) policy identifies mobile devices employees can buy and connect to a network but is unrelated to this question. A data loss prevention (DLP) system typically monitors outgoing traffic and wouldn’t stop a user from installing a malicious application.

Please could this get looked into 😊

Passed SEC+ using this

Highly recommend this as your main study resource. I used this and one other practice exam resource and passed SEC+ first try after only 1 monthish. The $10 subscription is 1000% worth it. There are so many different ways to study through this app, flash cards, exams by objective, custom practice tests, everything and anything you can need. I wish they had more CompTIA tests like the CySa+ or PenTest+ so I can use this again. Maybe I’ll go for the CCNA next just because they have an app for it. You won’t regret it

Best Review Tool I’ve Used!

The app is organized according to Objectives. I love additional insights which saves me from having to suspend the app to research what I’ve just read.

Great 601 App

This app helped me pass the 601 exam! I loved being able to create my own custom exam. It was helpful to sort by the questions I got incorrect or questions I hadn’t answered yet. The ability to see the increase in knowledge on the readiness scale was motivating and increased my confidence as well.

Good method

This is a very helpfulness course. The method behind is very good you can learn and practice.
