Nice method sir! Very in depth and thorough. Here's mine: 1: Watch a video course on a cert at 1.5x speed in the background for 10 hours a day. No notes. 2: Start grinding out practice tests: Dion, Meyers, Chapple, Pocketprep, Certmaster, all of em. 2a: Every time I take a test, I take 5-word caveman notes on all my wrong answers, then take the test again. Once I can go back through and get 95-100% on any random practice test, I go take the exam. Takes about 2 weeks to pass. Good for speed, but it can be bad for retention. I've averaged about 90% on each cert exam doing this.
Looks nice for blasting through certs in order to have a nice resume, I might try this. Retention comes with repetition, and repetition comes with the job is my opinion 🤷♂️ May I ask, how much time per day does the "grinding exam prep tests" consume? I'm working full time with 1h commute both ways and chores at home so this is a huge point for me 😅
@@packmanbp As much as you're comfortable with. I usually do about 3 per night, takes about 4 hours including reviewing the wrong answers, and a 10 minute retake to drill the right answers in, and a quick break between each test. We set our own schedules with this, any progress is good progress. Even if you do one question per day, you're still learning more than most people
Thank you, while I definitely won't be able to manage 4 sessions a night I'll try and get myself on this, might take a bit more than 2 weeks but I'll get to it !
@@MyDFIR I only retain maybe 20-30% of the information, but the point of it is to just kind of get a primer on the material for the real cram session (practice tests). I have so much trouble actually absorbing information from any audio source
I have never had the habit of taking notes and that's why I love that Coursera has a "Save Note" option so I don't have to handwrite anything. BTW, I think I haven't owned a notebook and a pen for about a decade. I know that people/specialists say it's more effective to write it down in the old fashion way, but I've always hated it and it has never been useful for me.
Hello sir do you have crowdstrike CCFR any advice for that one? I am studying based on the documentation from the tool itself, but it’s difficult not to have a book or material dedicated for the certification like any other one, thanks in advance, greetings from Costa Rica.
Yeah you would want to try and not take too many things at once. IMO you can take Sec+ & LetsDefend as a secondary for hands on / reinforce learnings of Sec+. I would drop linux for now and pick it back up after Sec+
Great question, they are both amazing and I would recommend bouncing between them doing the free labs. I personally use CyberDefenders as that was what I started with.
Market is hard all around for cybersecurity unfortunately. I would either continue to try applying for an entry soc role or even go the IT helpdesk role for the time being.
Hello there! I discovered your channel a while ago, thanks for the great content. I'm studying offensive security, but I wanted to take a dive into defensive related tools and stuff. Since I'm using the HackTheBox CPTS course, I wanted to take a dive into defensive stuff through their relative Defensive Security Analyst course that they made for their relative certification. Since it's pretty new not many things can be found out there about it. I wanted to ask you if is it possible for you to make a review on their course ^^
Thanks! I actually created one here, let me know if that helps! CDSA HackTheBox In-Depth Review | Is It worth it? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I3QowdlF5n8.html
There should be some free ones out there, I would take a topic from the syllabus and check if there are any videos or labs related to said topic. Best of luck!
