The original intention of the exam
I am an information security practitioner. I have heard of many information security certifications, such as CISP, CISSP, and CISA, but I have never heard of Security+ certification. By chance, my colleague introduced Guan to me. Knowing that there is such an information security certification as Security+ certification, I specifically Baiduted it at that time, and it was issued by CompTIA, the American Computer Industry Association. For the online training course on the weekend, I also settled down and listened to the lectures for 2 days. Although I didn’t listen to the teacher’s lectures on the spot, the online class was also quite good. It doesn’t matter if I didn’t master the knowledge points in the course. You can watch it directly. After the course training is over, start to do Security+501 mock questions, and analyze each question one by one.
learning process
After a long time, it will be quite tortuous. Due to the domestic epidemic situation, I did not make an appointment for the test, and temporarily put it on hold. I will not restart this matter until the beginning of 2022. Security+ has been updated to 601, and I have re-arranged to learn Security+601. For the course, due to the change of knowledge points, I watched the recording again. Started to do Security+601 mock question analysis and mock question practice. The mock questions have English and Chinese comparisons. It seems very convenient for people who are not good at English. Do the mock questions by chapter and do it three times. Focus on the questions that you did wrong, then look at the analysis, and remember some key points. In the end, I went to do more than 500 comprehensive practice questions. It took 3-4 hours to finish one time. Anyway, I was doing the questions madly. I took time to practice every week. Later on, I feel that the Chinese of the simulation questions interferes with me. I can quickly understand the answers to the questions by reading Chinese, but the speed of doing the questions in English is obviously slowed down. Some people don’t know what they mean. At this time, I force myself to memorize The key English words of the topic are used as marks, and then go to Baidu to look up the meaning of some English words. During the repeated practice of the simulation questions, my understanding of knowledge points was deepened, and my vision in information security technology and management was improved. I used to see the point, but now I see the surface.
Exam experience
The exam needs to be struck while the iron is hot. Every weekend, I have to set aside time to practice mock questions. I just want to find the feeling. If I do too many questions, I can naturally remember some. When the exam date came, I arrived at the exam room ahead of schedule. I had to bring my ID card and credit card with me for the exam. I needed two IDs to verify my identity. The place for the exam is a small room with a computer, an eraser board for drafting, and a camera monitoring. There is plenty of time for the exam. Before the exam starts, there are a series of statements to be read. There are 82 questions in the formal exam Questions, the first two are drag-and-drop questions, which are included in the simulated questions, but it should be noted that the form of the simulated questions is somewhat different from that of the simulated questions. The real test is to click directly on the picture, and there is no separate box to fill in the content. There are single-choice and multiple-choice questions, and I am still a little uncomfortable seeing the questions in English. At this time, I feel deeply disturbed by the Chinese of the mock questions. I can’t do some questions or I’m not sure, so I can only choose randomly , until after all the questions were finished, I went back to look at the questions I was not sure about just now. After careful thinking and recall, I revised the answer and checked it twice before finally submitting it. I was relieved when I saw the English prompt of congratulations and passed. I received the official email that night, and received the e-certificate application email on the third day. Since the website is in the United States, I opened the direct prompt that I could not access it. I contacted the staff of Guan and applied for me. Then I downloaded the e-certificate and sent it to me. .
Exam by mail
As for the experience of the test, what I want to say is that the key point is to practice the simulated questions repeatedly, especially for those who are not very good at English, start to read both Chinese and English, and feel that I have almost practiced, so I have to only read English and continue to practice Otherwise, it may be difficult to choose most of the questions during the exam. In addition, if you practice wrong questions, you need to come back and practice alone, memorize the key points, and find the rules. The answers to some questions can be found from the eyes of the questions, or excluded from the elimination method. If you want to simulate the questions, just send me a private message. It is not that difficult to drag the picture questions as long as you understand them. First, do the questions according to your own understanding. In short, you need perseverance to prepare for the exam, and prepare well when you decide to take the exam.
