I’ve read a lot of suggestions on Reddit for passing the Security+ 501, so I thought it was only fair to post my own after passing the 501 exam last night!
Resources I Used:
– Professor Messer Security+ 501 YouTube videos
– Professor Messer PDF Notes ($20, support a guy who is doing a valuable service for FREE in the IT community!)
– Darril Gibson’s online flash cards ($10, includes glossary terms, acronyms, and the ‘Remember This’ sections of his book)
– Darril Gibson’s online practice test questions ($50, these questions were INCREDIBLY helpful!)
I know a lot of folks recommend reading an actual book, like Darril Gibson’s, but as a working Mother of two young children, one being a newborn, I just did not have the time to read a book. The YouTube videos were super convenient and provided the baseline I needed. I purchased the online flash cards a couple weeks before the exam and purchased the practice questions several days before the exam. I should have purchased the practice questions a lot earlier. I did not realize how helpful they were going to be. If anything, GET THE PRACTICE QUESTIONS! They are similar enough, you’ll get a good idea of how the exam will be. The simulation questions were also invaluable!
What I DON’T recommend – Trying to memorize a test dump! That was my husband’s strategy and he failed it twice. You have to know the acronyms. You have to know how to do the simulation questions. You have to know the concepts in order to pick the BEST answer to any of the questions.
Good luck to everyone! Study hard and you will pass!
