      Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though…

      I wouldn’t know how/where to evem start if it wasn’t for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me… I basically:

      • watch the whoöe topic once
      • do all the comptia practice questions
      • identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
      • watch those (and more) videos again
      • rinse & repeat until the last week
      • switch to practice exams for the last week
      • hope for the best

      I’ll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though…
