Overview
Their are plans out there for people with no experience, to be ready for the exam within 4 weeks (full-time study). This plan is for 10 weeks, which accommodates for my other my other goals, and full-time work. I have 2 years as a system administrator with two separate university degrees (majoring in cyber security and system administration), so 10 weeks should be plenty for me to review the content. The study part will be a breeze, and I will focus on areas that require attention. I do not want to be overconfident, so the activities listed below should cover more than enough of the material required for me to pass, which is 750/900.
Activities for each week
- Read through a chapter in the Comptia Security+ study guide book,
- View chapter content in Professor Messer’s CompTIA SY0-701 Security+ Course - Professor Messer IT Certification Training Courses. From other YouTuber’s who have passed the exam, his course was highly recommended.
