Passed Security+ on Second Try!

Yesterday, November 3rd, 2023, I took the Sec+ for the second time and I passed with a 767 out of 900!

For context I'm currently an IT student studying for cybersecurity and I've done at least 2 small internships/externships so in a way I guess I have a little bit of an IT background.

Anyway, I failed my first time with a 719 and I was devastated. I felt discouraged for a while. I then changed up my study habits and studied for 3 more months. I studied every single day especially during that last month before the exam. Of course, I tried to not burn myself out because that wouldn't do me any good.


Here's what I mainly used to study:
