Best Of

@jason Sorry, not been on in a while!! Was just about getting ready to get the PenTest+ arranged and that last lockdown happened...everything went up in the air a bit!!! Trying to get back on track now though. That's great that you found a better solution for yourself. I went through the video lectures again only to have mega ISP issues!!! I was on a rubbish old ADSL and am now on full fibre!! Was on a waiting list for a few weeks. I'm just like yourself...."what ever it takes to get the foot in the door"!!! Just so you know I've found that the Burp Suite Academy is quite good. It helps get you deeper in to the tech and gives you a lab that you can safely hack, might be worth a punt for you too? Still working through it myself. I found the lectures and the labs provided to be quite good. I always read a course book and take loads of notes.

When you review the answers after a mock exam, take a screen shot of the Question and Answer Combo. I'm like @jason I bought books, get the eBooks then they can be stored on a phone or tablet and can be taken anywhere. Save the screenshots to the phone/tablet and just reference the books or a trusted internet site. Don't forget you have access to the lectures in written form too. You also have an online mentor to ask questions and guidance. By taking a screenshot of the question/answer combo you can constantly refer to it without trying to remember what you got wrong. By the way, don't look at the mock exam question fails as a failure, any questions that you get wrong are guidance for passing the exam.

I'm doing the same, after completing PenTest+ and CEH. I think this module should have completed prior than PenTest+ as this topic is in deep theory detail which gives good reveision on both Network+ and Security+ and lots of software. PenTest+ teaches methodological approach and comprising mainly Kali Linux/Github tools. Both definitely overlaps. I am wondering too about the exam about what will be involved perticularly software wise.
