- Completing a task
- Matching, sorting, drag-and-drop, image-based questions, etc. People who have completed the exam claimed that their is quite a few different acronyms to remember, and that having some practical knowledge will help.
The Comptia Security+ study guide book also claims that this book “makes English majors cringe” (Page 32). There are few typos and incorrect verbs, there may be more than one subjectively correct answer, and it is suggested to use intuition, select the most correct answer, and move on.
