CompTIA Security+ Exam Objectives:https://certblaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/CompTIA-Security-SY0-701-Exam-Objectives-1.pdf
17 should be A. There is no evidence in the question a trojan was installed and is exfiltrating data.
00:00 Intro
00:42 Question 1
Your method to break down the question and find the key phrase has been very helpful. It allows me to approach these questions differently, and I noticed a serious improvement in my accuracy selecting (and eliminating) answer choices. Exam coming up in a month!
02:38 Question 2
04:49 Question 3

19:53 Question 10
22:34 Question 11

24:32 Question 12
26:33 Question 13
29/30 lets go. Sec+ today at 745pm
28:23 Question 14
30:21 Question 15
I disagree with the first question training idiots won't work they still do stupid things that is the problem.
32:32 Question 16
34:28 Question 17
Just a little tip- qualitative vs quantitative, which is which?
I remember it as the L in qualitative stands for ‘letters’ and the N in quantitative stands for ‘numbers’
37:04 Question 18
39:05 Question 19
Thanks man. Passed my exam today, your videos were extremely helpful in my studying, and I applied the process of elimination technique to the real exam.
41:08 Question 20
43:11 Question 21
17 feels a bit confusing because i feel the questions wouldve said an app was downloaded and after they are having issue. But a new computer getting trial pop ups makes me think of bloatware that wasnt removed
45:05 Question 22
46:58 Question 23
one thing Im struggling with are the abbreviations. I have had to learn hundreds of them so its hard to look at one and think about it. do they put them on the actual exam because if they do I find that a bit annoying.
48:59 Question 24
51:12 Question 25
Yes! Just passed my exam today here in Italy, also thanks to your contents!! I scored 806 with 76 questions, 3 of which were PBQ
52:55 Question 26
55:03 Question 27
I would query the answer to Q7 as there is no such thing as an Image-Based attack vector category. The answer is surely A. File-Based.
57:12 Question 28
59:31 Question 29
I passed my exam today! 798. Thanks for the practice questions
01:01:32 Question 30
#securityplus #comptia #cybersecurity
I’ve been so intimidated by the security+ i don’t even engage with the content directly, but this was my first try and with a little bit of research for some of the terms I got 19/30 correct and the ones I got wrong I was still able to eliminate down to 2 options. I’ve been studying computer science for a month and honestly this wasn’t terrible. Looking forward to seeing if I can increase my score after more study thanks for this resource

More User Perspectives
for those of you that are studying for the Sec+, AI has been a huge help for me. I created flashcards and test questions.
@w.townsend3477I just passed Security+ today with a score of 796! Your videos were really helpful! THANKS!
@adymix001Question 18 should be B due to the nature of the question being about a natural disaster and not a general disruption or outage. Also, the question has an X mark and a check mark on B as the answer.
@achilles88I want to say Thank you for your Videos. I just passed the CompTIA Sec+ exam .I used your technic a logic !! thank you !!
@miwarai4626very clear and straight forward explanations, thanks alot
@Camara22-l7tSir, I just wanted to thank you for your training. God blessed me today to pass my exam and your training was definitely helpful. There were a couple of questions from one of your videos that were addressed in my exam. Thank you.
@shakazulujamesThanks James,just passed my Security + with 756,first try 😂😂😂
@zeeyanda3508I believe no 17 answer is A bloatware. The question says resource usage is high even with no application open and runs the laptop slowly. Bloatware is a malicious software that consumes larger resources of your computer even when no application is open.
@ogundipebamidele7445I think you're giving the wrong answer for # 13. It should be 'confidential'
@p.b.511Thanks Cyber James, your videos helped me pass today!
@Notjoemamma1786Question 23 could have been worded better as you mentioned “Multiple” instead of “All”. Multiple does not necessarily means all the VMs are having the issue, which one would not guess it’s related to resources on the host device, which would technically affect all devices
@CapturedbyjosssI’d say for my first practice exam video after almost finishing the Jason Dion course in udemy getting 27/30 of these questions right I feel like the course has been good to me a 90% first try is pretty good
@brandonmack9055Might I suggest you leave the key words/phrases highlighted while going over the answers, it helps to correlate the correct/incorrect answers.
@RealTuckered11/15/2025 I passed my security + exam today!!!!! Thank you for your videos
@YourEnerVibezI skimmed through just about 20 questions getting them all right off the back, is the test going to be this similar? If so I'm going to take mines now that I've studied so much and been taking rigorous practice exams from Dion's Training along with Labs and Course notes + lecture videos from Professor Messer for just about a few months...
@sinclairejordan2954nice
@BAEESCOPE2010Today-10/25/25 just passed my exam 772/750, badly needed this for my job. Thank you for this videos, I also purchased your test on udemy. very helpful. Thank you again.
@lukesmith3172Great video for studying!
@TLeFearJust passed CompTIA Security+ certification exam yesterday 😊
@arnoldaristotletayag5140This video helped me get a strategy down for my Sec+ test and I passed today. Thank you for your help!!! I got almost half of these questions wrong the 2 nights before I took the test. Don't be discouraged and don't give up on your goals!!! All praises to the Most High Yah!!!!!
@RonellTKEI passed the exam on Friday. It was definitely interesting. The questions were not as straightforward as the ones you see in any of the YouTube videos on all channels. Questions were tricky, so you really need to know the material to do well. I had four PBQs, and all of them were network simulation types.
@realekmFor number 13, sensitive classification includes personal data such as PII or PHI. So if the question states that it does NOT contain personal or proprietary data, wouldn't that make it not sensitive?
@LateNightZythixYou are amazing sir . Peace and blessing to you
@dreamalittle5467passed with a 786/900 today! its thanks to peeps like you who make free content available for us that i could make it :)
@readingjerry1Good explanations. Haven't taken the exam yet. Just worried about how difficult it will be.
@babarw200625/30 lets go!
@WIWIWIII-tx7fsI passed my Sec+ today, thanks CJ!!!!
@jefferydunlap5949Passed my exams today. 759/750. I just focused on multiple choices 😅, since I saw the PBQs, I was like hell no!! You videos helped. Thanks 🙏
@jovi4872Passed yesterday! Thank yon for providing me with the tools to identify key phrases and determine exactly what the question addresses!
@Maile-bd2mkHeyy question 13 , wouldn't the answer be confidential since its internal training documents?
