1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,679
hey guys hope everybody's having a great
2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,000
day today we're gonna be talking about
3
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:06,640
the
4
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,839
security plus 501 exam um the main
5
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,360
reason i'm making this video is because
6
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:09,920
it was super hard when i took it when i
7
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,559
was prep
8
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,080
preparing for it and uh i had to go to
9
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:15,440
all these separate different places
10
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,000
so within this video i'm hoping to
11
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,080
provide all the links resources i used
12
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,520
and my own personal experiences that way
13
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,320
in case you're looking into cyber
14
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,640
security
15
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,800
or to grab the certification you have
16
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,599
one one place to go to grab everything
17
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,119
that you need
18
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:30,240
and i pretty much used a lot of
19
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:32,000
different things because i didn't want
20
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,399
to chance anything or just use one
21
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,600
so what i did is pretty much uh combine
22
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,200
a whole bunch of different learning
23
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,520
types whether you're hands on
24
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,120
or more of a site understanding where
25
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,840
you kind of see things happen and you
26
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,960
understand it
27
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,320
or if you're more hands on where you
28
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,960
need to kind of take more practical
29
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,079
quizzes
30
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,520
i'm going to include all that in the
31
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,239
resources below today i'm going to be
32
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,559
explaining the
33
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:51,840
the three-step method i use to pass this
34
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:54,320
test in three months
35
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,680
so i segmented it into one month per
36
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,760
phase
37
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,800
wherever you are skill level wise i'm
38
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,000
going to be able to help you kind of
39
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,520
navigate through all that before i go
40
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,440
into any personal experiences
41
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,199
or what kind of opportunities getting
42
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,320
the certification has opened up
43
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:09,520
i want to talk about the three-step
44
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:11,280
method i used so the method number one
45
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,799
for the first phase call this kind of
46
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,119
the getting familiar phase where you're
47
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,560
just learning definitions
48
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:18,479
or you're kind of just getting familiar
49
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,600
with the course content so
50
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:21,040
right here you're not looking to
51
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,840
understand absolutely everything you're
52
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,520
just looking to
53
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,759
get yourself as much familiar really
54
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,360
break that ice and break through that
55
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:28,240
fearful stage of not knowing anything
56
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
about this test
57
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,280
produces the book it looks the cover
58
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,640
looks exactly the same it says security
59
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,560
plus test it's a bit thicker
60
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,479
but even this one it's maybe uh double
61
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,320
the thickness of this book so
62
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:39,439
you can imagine the amount of content
63
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,640
that's in the book and it might look
64
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:44,000
really scary
65
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,280
so if you look at the book and you might
66
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,399
get fearful and then end up never
67
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
starting it all instead of kind of
68
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:49,840
segment
69
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,439
segmenting it that's one of the that's
70
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,280
the biggest thing that held me back
71
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:55,280
i spent a majority of my time getting
72
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,920
through a few chapters of that book
73
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,439
and um within the next within the last
74
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,640
three months where i actually got like
75
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:03,200
maybe 80 to 90
76
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,479
of the work done um it happened within
77
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,719
three months where i was kind of
78
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:09,200
procrastinating and just fearful that
79
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,920
i kind of almost scared of success
80
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,080
because i didn't know
81
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,120
exactly how i was going to do it so so
82
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,640
i'm going to provide the links in the
83
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,440
description as i mentioned
84
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,080
but the first thing i did in this step
85
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,560
is
86
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,800
i used a security plus udemy regardless
87
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,080
of the time in between i think
88
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,160
the course content's still the same it's
89
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,640
still a 501 but i figured that this
90
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,760
method
91
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,680
should be really helpful for anybody
92
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000
who's trying to go through it and i kind
93
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,000
of
94
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,120
have a kind of direction to be pointed
95
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680
into so
96
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,400
um i'll i'll link to actual udemy down
97
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,519
below
98
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,440
but that's the main thing i used for the
99
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:43,920
getting familiar phase i also used a
100
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,440
youtube series from professor messer
101
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,360
i'll link that as well
102
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,519
but those two are extremely helpful so
103
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,959
during lunches or
104
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:52,560
anytime i had a break i'd be watching
105
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:54,080
some of the videos just to get familiar
106
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160
and i really put my attention on just
107
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,440
getting familiar sometimes i've had
108
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,200
i had them running in the background
109
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,599
while i was doing something else but
110
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,800
the most value i got out of them is when
111
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,800
i actually sat down
112
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,080
and maybe put dedicated an hour or two
113
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,319
maybe in the morning
114
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,680
in between classes or if you work i did
115
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:11,760
some before work some
116
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,760
during lunches like i mentioned or even
117
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,519
after work um
118
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,120
you do a few hours each time and you
119
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:19,680
make some real progress
120
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,319
but um i think a lot of the times i used
121
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080
to
122
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,440
my particular problem was i didn't want
123
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,720
to move to the next video until i
124
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,200
completely understood what was going on
125
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280
here
126
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560
and since i learn in different kind of
127
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000
ways where sometimes i need to be
128
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,720
hands-on sometimes i can see it and
129
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,080
understand it
130
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,680
or sometimes i can apply it that one
131
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,239
example wasn't always helping me
132
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,760
understand it just my routine to
133
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:42,480
just get familiar with it and just
134
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,959
really listen not put a name on anything
135
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,720
or
136
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:46,640
expect to understand anything but really
137
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,159
just try to get some definitions down
138
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,680
and take a little bit out of each thing
139
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:51,760
that they were telling me
140
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,360
and just opening up that mindset of
141
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,519
things i actually became
142
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,040
more receiving of that information and
143
00:03:55,519 --> 00:03:58,000
probably learned more than i would if i
144
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,599
was trying to like
145
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,959
really put my attention on just learning
146
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:02,159
absolutely everything the first time so
147
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:03,439
that's why i call it the icebreaker
148
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,560
stage because it's not meant to kind of
149
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,840
get anything done
150
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040
um but you're supposed to get really
151
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400
familiar with everything and try to
152
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,200
learn some definitions as much as you
153
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,400
can
154
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,920
kind of see it as like if you're getting
155
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,560
a sneak peek into the course content
156
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,159
imagine
157
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,840
the phases or any of the studying hasn't
158
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,280
started yet but you're getting a
159
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,040
head start or like some kind of cheat
160
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:20,560
code to where you can kind of peek and
161
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,160
get some information before
162
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,759
any of your actual training starts so
163
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,960
part two is where you
164
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:26,960
start doing some of the practice
165
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,720
questions so a lot of people
166
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,560
would recommend that all you need is the
167
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,080
practice questions and you could just go
168
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,759
over them over them over them until you
169
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,759
understand everything
170
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,960
that that sounded really good in theory
171
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,600
but it was kind of scary to me so i
172
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,280
didn't want to
173
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,040
fully rely on it especially because
174
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,400
you're paying money to take this exam
175
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,280
um so so i ended up doing some of the
176
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,199
questions
177
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,400
um there's places where you can some buy
178
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,840
some questions some practice questions
179
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,680
i'm gonna link some down below
180
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,040
but um i was scared that maybe they
181
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,240
pulled different questions out of the
182
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,919
501 exam
183
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,720
and if they're not if i'm not prepared
184
00:04:57,919 --> 00:04:59,520
for them i don't even know what i'm
185
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,440
talking about
186
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,639
i'm just pretty much trying to remember
187
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000
all the questions i've been answering
188
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,520
and try to hope that they're on the test
189
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,199
which i didn't feel is very safe
190
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800
i never liked taking tests like that i
191
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:10,800
kind of like understanding them
192
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560
and the moment i could understand them
193
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,600
and explain them in a few different ways
194
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,280
that's when i'm comfortable moving
195
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,199
forward so that's what i wanted to do
196
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,080
i used the questions but i used a
197
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:21,680
specific link called kaplan
198
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,360
so that's the website kaplan and they
199
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,240
have a course for security plus where
200
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,360
you
201
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,360
they just give you a bunch of questions
202
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,639
i think you get three problem sets a ton
203
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,759
of questions in the word bank
204
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:32,240
so it was incredible um not only that
205
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:33,919
but
206
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,919
they gave explanations for all the
207
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:37,520
answers so
208
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:39,440
you take the test and it gives you three
209
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,560
attempts different questions so which is
210
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,720
really amazing
211
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,320
um at the beginning of phase two i took
212
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520
one of the tests and i remember scoring
213
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,120
super low
214
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,320
and this was expected of course because
215
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,160
i hadn't gone through everything yet
216
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,759
just learned some of the definitions
217
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,600
but it gave me somewhere to scale and
218
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,440
gauge where i was moving so
219
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,960
i took that test and i took it just as
220
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,319
if like this is the real test where
221
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,360
would i be what would i score
222
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:03,199
it was a chance for me to um test my
223
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,800
skills without actually
224
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,240
worrying about anything and it does cost
225
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,199
money it costs eighty dollars but i
226
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,720
think it's worth it
227
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:10,560
because it will put you ahead and it
228
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,680
will get you some incredible
229
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,960
explanations that
230
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,600
you really won't find with any other
231
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,960
practice questions and uh if you're
232
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,800
if you have the money to spend i
233
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,639
recommend spending the eighty dollars
234
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,360
and you'll 100 be able to grasp
235
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:24,880
everything instead of spending the 350
236
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,479
potentially failing and having to pay
237
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,319
another 350.
238
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:29,759
um get her at the first time and i think
239
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:32,080
everything here if you
240
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,759
if you do it right you'll be fine but so
241
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,440
yeah so i took the test
242
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:37,039
and what i really liked about it is that
243
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,319
it tells you
244
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:40,160
so if you get the answer wrong you can
245
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,280
go and review things it tells you why
246
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,720
the answer was right
247
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,720
but it also tells you why the wrong
248
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,400
answers were wrong so this really
249
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,600
instead of just one question giving you
250
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,039
an insight to one thing
251
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,880
it really gives you insights to four
252
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:52,960
things so
253
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,720
for example if a b c and d the answer
254
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,360
was d it tells you why it was right but
255
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,880
a b and c
256
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,400
tells you why they were wrong and where
257
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,840
they actually get applied to
258
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,360
so for every one question you're really
259
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,880
getting four questions worth of
260
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,400
information so
261
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,160
this is really incredible because you
262
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
get maybe about 300 in the word bank
263
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,440
already
264
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,639
and three times four that's around 1200
265
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,880
questions or
266
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:14,560
pieces of information you could kind of
267
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,960
gather
268
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,479
and this really helped me because um i
269
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,160
mean if some if you do something wrong
270
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:21,599
and someone just says no you're wrong
271
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,440
i mean you don't really ever know why
272
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:24,800
but if someone tells you no you're wrong
273
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,639
this is what's right here's why it's
274
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,000
right and here's why what you did was
275
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:29,039
wrong and here's why other things that
276
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
you could have done would have been
277
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:31,440
wrong as well
278
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800
you go on to the next time you ever have
279
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,599
to do that you know exactly what you
280
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,080
have to do
281
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:37,199
why it was wrong and a better chance of
282
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,319
getting it right as opposed to if
283
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:40,400
someone just tells you
284
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:42,160
no you're wrong try again and i think
285
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,800
that's what i really gathered from
286
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,400
kaplan specifically uh that course and
287
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,759
um that was by far one of the things
288
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,280
that put me ahead maybe ten of the
289
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,120
questions are gonna be
290
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,400
um not multiple choice they're gonna be
291
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,840
a different range of things
292
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,520
but this is gonna help you get so
293
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,000
comfortable with the multiple choice
294
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,440
that
295
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,360
even if you get some of the the
296
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,800
non-multiple choice ones wrong
297
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,639
whether it be like some kind of course
298
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,080
or like run through or simulation
299
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:06,240
even if you get those wrong you're gonna
300
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,240
be so comfortable just doing
301
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,599
the uh questions alone that you have
302
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,800
some wiggle room and i think this is
303
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:12,800
what really helped me
304
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,720
um i did really well in the questions
305
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,560
and the multiple choice
306
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240
and i think those if you could master
307
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,840
those that's pretty much free
308
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120
once you get to the simulations you can
309
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,400
afford to mess up a little bit and of
310
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,680
course you don't want to
311
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,039
but those are the ones where a little
312
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,160
bit more unpredictable they could be
313
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:27,599
about anything so
314
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,879
you don't want to take too many chances
315
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:29,680
with those that's what you want to be to
316
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:30,960
your wiggle room
317
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,080
and if you get those wrong you want to
318
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440
be more okay with that instead of
319
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,560
getting something that's a little bit
320
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,080
easier to understand like
321
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,120
multiple choice wrong if you're getting
322
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,000
multiple traits wrong you're going to
323
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,440
have a little bit more trouble when
324
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,959
you're getting to the simulations
325
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320
okay for phase three phase three is
326
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:43,279
gonna help you fill all the gaps that
327
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,399
you might have missed
328
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:48,720
between uh looking at videos courses
329
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:49,920
or just the questions and this one's
330
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,200
gonna be the most simplest but it's
331
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,519
gonna be reading the book
332
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,959
um of course i told you it's going to be
333
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:57,360
you so of course the book's going to be
334
00:08:54,959 --> 00:08:58,640
looking something like this
335
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,800
i'll put a link to where you can get the
336
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,800
book on amazon but when you
337
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,640
when you buy the book you get the actual
338
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,000
physical book and you also get a pdf
339
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,360
downloadable copy um
340
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,680
so that's two different ways you can
341
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,320
read it so if like you're studying at
342
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,440
home
343
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,720
but then you happen to be on the road
344
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240
you can pick up where you left off by
345
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,839
picking up the pdf book
346
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,440
me personally i like the physical book
347
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:21,040
because you can flip back and forth
348
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,399
um i just like there's something about a
349
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,080
physical book that's just better to me
350
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:25,440
and as i'll point out later in the video
351
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,519
it's actually a key
352
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,880
to one of the final techniques for
353
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:30,640
getting this all down
354
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,000
but yeah so going to the physical book
355
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,200
it's going to give you more explanations
356
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,360
for the detail
357
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,640
and of course you get three chances with
358
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,680
the kaplan
359
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,800
test so usually when i get 50 down to
360
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,160
the book that's when i took
361
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,920
another test or i believe it might have
362
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,600
been 80 of the book done
363
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,360
i took another test to see exactly how
364
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,360
much i improved um and i remember
365
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,200
getting about like a 70 or something
366
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,120
like that and i know you need 85 to pass
367
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,480
just to feel comfortable as well so i
368
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,000
knew that i needed to fill in some more
369
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,959
information with the book
370
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,880
and so basically what i did was i went
371
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:04,800
from chapter one all the way to the end
372
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,399
and i did this by pretty much segment
373
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,839
segmenting some time
374
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:09,680
sometimes during work i had more of a
375
00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:11,279
management job where if someone needed
376
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:13,360
paperwork done or if someone needed help
377
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:14,959
i can help them but other than that the
378
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320
job was pretty much self-maintained
379
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:18,000
so i had some time to kind of study on
380
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,680
the side too put some hours into
381
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,040
that also in the morning i'd wake up a
382
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,800
little earlier and study really put my
383
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,480
attention to it
384
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,680
because of course i really wanted to get
385
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,040
this done within three months i didn't
386
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,560
want to take any longer with that
387
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000
i felt like it was going to dedicate way
388
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,600
too much time and i know a lot of people
389
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,880
take usually six to more
390
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,640
two more months than that and when i
391
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,839
really focused down on it didn't want to
392
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,279
take any more than three months i had
393
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:38,640
looked at videos before
394
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:42,240
but i didn't really count that towards
395
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,240
the main portion of the study
396
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:46,000
all right and what i felt about this
397
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,360
book when you start going to the
398
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,240
chapters it feels like process of
399
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,519
elimination
400
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,200
you're familiar with the definitions
401
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:52,959
from phase one you understand some of
402
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,880
the questions from phase two so you see
403
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:56,480
them kind of coming up in the book
404
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,519
um so once you actually start reading
405
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,480
the book it's like process of
406
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,079
elimination
407
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,320
but not of wrong answers but it's
408
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:03,600
process process of elimination of
409
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,839
material that you never understood
410
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,360
before so from chapter one to
411
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:09,519
to however many chapters are i believe
412
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,079
there were like twenty-something um
413
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:14,399
every chapter you hit you understand it
414
00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:15,680
and now it's processing process of
415
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:18,079
elimination of the unknown
416
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:19,279
chapters and the more you get through
417
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:21,120
you're going to feel like you understand
418
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:22,320
this part and the rest is unknown
419
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,240
once you finally get through it you're
420
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,480
going to see those coming up in your
421
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,720
test results
422
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,839
um so it was it's just a really good
423
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,160
feeling knowing that
424
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:33,839
um reading the book for the first time a
425
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,440
lot of the times i don't grasp as much
426
00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:36,480
information but because we were familiar
427
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,640
with the definitions
428
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,480
familiar with the practice questions it
429
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,320
felt like it was more of a refresher
430
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,480
and um they were just putting more
431
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,200
insight more detail into each of the the
432
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,720
reasons why
433
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,480
things were right or why they worked
434
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,760
that way so the course content was
435
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,639
really a refresher and a detailed
436
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,320
explanation
437
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:53,920
as opposed to remember this and try to
438
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
take the test i feel like that was the
439
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,839
right way to do it
440
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,440
the last thing i did was man i think the
441
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:01,120
last 30 minutes right before the test i
442
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,560
was outside doing this method
443
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,320
but i spent a few days also doing
444
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,040
something called i called the index
445
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,720
method
446
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,160
so i had gone through the entire book
447
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,760
already and then the next thing i did
448
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,079
was literally sit down with the book
449
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,720
go through the index at the very
450
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:17,200
beginning and if i knew
451
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,360
what that word meant or if i could
452
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,680
explain it in maybe three ways
453
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,760
like explain what it is how to use it
454
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:25,279
and maybe a case another case where i
455
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,680
could use it or another way to explain
456
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:26,880
it
457
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,480
if i could do those three things i would
458
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,399
move on to the next one but if i
459
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,240
couldn't i would go back to the book and
460
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,519
reread it again that little chapter or
461
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,440
the little paragraph
462
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,560
and this wasn't anything crazy hard it
463
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,279
wasn't like you're reading the entire
464
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,560
book again
465
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:40,320
is just really filling in the gaps
466
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:42,480
because sometimes you need repetition so
467
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,079
for example
468
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,880
i'd pretty much just open up the index
469
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:48,399
once i've read through everything say
470
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,399
let's say i was getting stuck on
471
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,800
enumeration
472
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:54,880
so i'd see that it was on page 62 and i
473
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,880
just turned to page 62
474
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,079
and then try to understand it again and
475
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,959
at first it was freaking me out because
476
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:00,720
i was like wow
477
00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:02,399
um there's a lot of these words that i
478
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,839
don't know but as soon as i go back and
479
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:05,200
i get familiar with them it's like well
480
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:07,760
what else can you really do but
481
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,320
read them again so don't get scared if
482
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,079
you
483
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,360
are finding yourself looking at needing
484
00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:13,279
to look at a lot of them
485
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,720
it's just repetition do it as many times
486
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,680
as you need you have as much time in the
487
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,760
world as long as you
488
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:19,440
it's before you take the test so then
489
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,200
i'd go to enumeration
490
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,320
uh read this all if i still didn't
491
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,839
understand it for some reason and i
492
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,680
needed a different explanation i'd look
493
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:26,320
up a youtube video on it there's tons of
494
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,560
videos
495
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,160
on there there's tons of videos out
496
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,120
there on these kind of topics
497
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,959
but of course you don't want to go
498
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,120
searching one by one you want to see
499
00:13:32,959 --> 00:13:36,800
what you can do from a structured
500
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,399
guide and then whatever you're missing
501
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,839
if it's not explained well
502
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,760
or it's not your typical style of
503
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:43,760
learning then you can outsource for it
504
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,959
that's when i usually go to youtube for
505
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,399
example if i didn't understand this
506
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:49,040
enumeration explanation
507
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,480
i'd go to youtube look it up if it was
508
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,519
too boring or i just didn't have the
509
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,959
mental attention
510
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:56,399
go to google whichever works for you
511
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:58,240
but i did that pretty much until i got
512
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,240
to the entire index
513
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,000
and i think that helped to fill any gaps
514
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,279
i had and i ended up passing the
515
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,279
test you needed about an 85 to pass
516
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:09,199
i want to say i got like an 89 and then
517
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,040
i earned this right here which was
518
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:12,560
for me incredible because before i was
519
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,760
so scared before i started the three
520
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:16,079
month phase
521
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,160
uh that i i kind of created on my own
522
00:14:16,079 --> 00:14:19,519
that i kind of created on my own but
523
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,880
before i started three month phase i was
524
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:22,639
kind of just scared to really get into
525
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760
that phase of hard studying because
526
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:25,760
i didn't know how hard it was going to
527
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,720
be so i was just watching videos and
528
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,639
just trying to
529
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,800
hear peak peek here and there like some
530
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:32,560
information but i never really started
531
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,399
um so passing that test was the most
532
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,839
incredible feeling and i know if you're
533
00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:37,600
currently studying or if you're looking
534
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:38,959
to study or if you're in school or
535
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,480
looking for a job in the future i know
536
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:40,959
you're probably super stressed out about
537
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,399
it
538
00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:43,680
your your teachers might be mentioning
539
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,399
it your friends your co-workers might be
540
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,600
mentioning it
541
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:48,880
your job descriptions might be
542
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,720
mentioning that you need some certain um
543
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,399
qualifications and since you don't have
544
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,079
work experience they need their projects
545
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:55,920
or certifications
546
00:14:54,079 --> 00:14:57,120
so this is one way to prove just just
547
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,040
like a college degree
548
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,560
can also prove that you have some skills
549
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160
this kind of shows some initiative to
550
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,959
also go further than that not just
551
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,399
through the norm
552
00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:05,680
or what's expected of you so like if
553
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,639
you're in college and you're getting
554
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800
your degree
555
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,680
getting a certification while you're in
556
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,000
college can
557
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,680
help show an employer that hey well he's
558
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,279
going for something incredible already
559
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,680
that we need for our job requirements
560
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:16,959
but
561
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,120
he's also going and taking the
562
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:21,680
initiative to go even further and
563
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240
expand outwards and when you're in a job
564
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,760
setting
565
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,360
that's really the type of people they're
566
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,320
looking for so
567
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,399
they're looking people who are going to
568
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,600
take initiative take that learning skill
569
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:30,240
and aren't afraid to really push
570
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,360
themselves
571
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,720
so if you're already showing that and
572
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,720
you haven't even started a job yet
573
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,839
they're really going to be
574
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,639
they're really going to be looking
575
00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:40,160
forward to maybe talking to you or
576
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:42,320
getting you an interview and then that's
577
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,839
from up to you to get you yourself
578
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,480
further once you actually get
579
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:47,680
face to face in an interview talk about
580
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,199
the opportunities that this
581
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,920
certification opened
582
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:53,279
the teachers my instructors were telling
583
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,440
me a lot about how
584
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:56,880
a lot of require job requirements have
585
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,680
this listed on there so i was like all
586
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,199
right let's do it
587
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,839
i didn't exactly know too much about it
588
00:15:59,199 --> 00:16:03,920
but i wanted to get it done
589
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:04,880
and i'll tell you this much it is 100
590
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,079
worth it
591
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,600
even if you're not sure if you want to
592
00:16:06,079 --> 00:16:08,079
do security i think moving in one
593
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,399
direction
594
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:11,680
as opposed to not moving at all is 100
595
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:13,600
the better case because it's even a
596
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,720
process of elimination if you decide
597
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560
that you don't want to do it
598
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,320
a lot of people could see that as a
599
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,079
wasted time but i think
600
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,079
you're kind of narrowing down your
601
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:23,600
interest as well and it's also having an
602
00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:24,480
opportunity in case you ever need it for
603
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,199
example
604
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,560
um right out of college when i graduated
605
00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:29,519
and i had the certification and a few
606
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,120
others
607
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:35,360
i had a job offer in dallas to take a
608
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,880
security analyst position right now i'm
609
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,240
currently doing data and analytics which
610
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,440
is a completely different practice from
611
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,600
security plus
612
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,360
and of course i'm still interested in
613
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,480
security plus and i will keep learning
614
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,279
about both of them
615
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,639
i find them both really interesting but
616
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:50,959
it just goes to show that
617
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,880
even if it's a backup plan or it's just
618
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:53,440
another opportunity to be open it's 100
619
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,360
worth it
620
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,279
i did get an offer i just decided not to
621
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,839
take it cared about not receiving offers
622
00:16:57,279 --> 00:16:59,839
at all
623
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:01,519
i think an employer would be more scared
624
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:03,040
of hiring someone who isn't moving at
625
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:04,160
all as opposed to someone who's at least
626
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,160
trying different things
627
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,559
and seeing what they like someone who's
628
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,559
open to change and open to adaptability
629
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,919
they're gonna like a lot more yeah um
630
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:12,480
i'm just gonna go over a little bit more
631
00:17:11,919 --> 00:17:14,559
of the
632
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,839
phases so i'll talk about my my personal
633
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:17,839
experience
634
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,360
i had a lot of trouble finding a
635
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:20,720
complete guide a lot of people were
636
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:22,160
telling me oh you should try just the
637
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,280
practice questions just read the book
638
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,400
that's all you need everything is in
639
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,760
there which is true
640
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,439
but i think when people have different
641
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,799
styles of learning it's important to
642
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:29,760
outsource for different things and bring
643
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,440
it all together
644
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,280
i think that's why i want to put all the
645
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,160
links in the resources down below in the
646
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320
description
647
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,520
i'll put a time stamps in case you need
648
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,960
to revisit this video
649
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,039
you know exactly where you left off or
650
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,840
where you need to go make it really easy
651
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,039
for you guys because
652
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,200
i mean my goal is really to help you
653
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:45,520
pass because i think it was super hard
654
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,120
and
655
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,200
at the end of it i realized it's just a
656
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:50,400
simple process and a simple
657
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,320
guidance that you have to create for
658
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,840
yourself and if you do that you will
659
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,799
pass like there's no way you won't pass
660
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,520
if you put your attention towards it
661
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:01,520
so it was almost like this um it was
662
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,360
almost this illusion of fear that i had
663
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,360
and once i passed it i realized
664
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:06,880
it is possible and something i kind of
665
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,320
thought wasn't possible for a bit
666
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,240
even though i was studying every day for
667
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,600
it i had this like imposter syndrome
668
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,200
slash like am i really going to pass
669
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720
this test how good am i at test taking
670
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,960
sometimes i'm not the best
671
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,160
so it just showed me that it's possible
672
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,120
and for anybody else who might having
673
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720
that same fear
674
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:22,080
or just in general i think it's natural
675
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,000
to be scared about something like this
676
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,679
where there's so much pressure for like
677
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,360
to get a job and stuff like that and of
678
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:28,160
course like it's a very competitive
679
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,600
industry
680
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,360
but there's also a lot of demand and i
681
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,640
think there's no shortage for for the
682
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,440
need of people who are willing to take
683
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,360
initiative
684
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,799
and get certifications and learn all the
685
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:38,799
things that you need to learn for a job
686
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,640
but yeah so i took a oh yeah another
687
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:46,320
thing i actually used was quizlet so a
688
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,880
lot of people use quizlet for studying
689
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,960
or
690
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,440
for other reasons but you can actually
691
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,799
look up security plus 501 quizlet
692
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,200
and they give you more practice
693
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:57,039
questions they give you um
694
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,400
let's see those little note cards where
695
00:18:57,039 --> 00:18:59,280
you can flip back and forth look up
696
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,640
definitions
697
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,080
they even have some practice questions
698
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,000
on there so those are some free
699
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,039
resources if you want free resources
700
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,559
i highly recommend these kaplan but if
701
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:11,039
you're trying to go super low budget and
702
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:12,640
you really have confidence in yourself
703
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,840
you can also try the quizlet or just
704
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,799
maybe give yourself a little bit more
705
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,720
time for free
706
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:18,160
resources but if you've got the money i
707
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,200
highly recommend the kaplan
708
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,440
not just because it costs money and it's
709
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,799
like another resource but it genuinely
710
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,240
pushed me so much further but yeah so i
711
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,919
used quizlet in between
712
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,000
a lot of my studying also came while i
713
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:33,760
was working a different job
714
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,200
like i said it was very self-maintaining
715
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,960
so i didn't really have to do much work
716
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,280
after certain hours
717
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,240
so i would pretty much download quizlet
718
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,120
on my phone
719
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,799
i have uh the the pdf as well so i had
720
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:46,080
two resources i could always refer to in
721
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:47,919
case i got tired of one
722
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,440
i could switch to the other uh so i'd
723
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:51,039
quiz myself i'd read more
724
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,600
i'd go back through things i didn't
725
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:55,360
understand some of the harder chapters
726
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,679
so there's 20 something chapters but
727
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,280
there's six different sections
728
00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:00,960
and one of the ones the section some of
729
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,240
the sections stopped me more than others
730
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,400
some of them i understood they were more
731
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,400
general some of them were very
732
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,600
very detailed like port numbers and
733
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,600
stuff like that where
734
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,120
you have to really memorize these things
735
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,840
so those kind of things i would revisit
736
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,120
over and over
737
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,720
of course humans just learned by
738
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:16,320
repetition you don't get it right the
739
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,120
first time it's completely normal don't
740
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,440
freak out
741
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:20,159
just go over it again get more familiar
742
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,640
once you
743
00:20:20,159 --> 00:20:23,919
relieve that fear of actually doing it
744
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,720
then you'll be more open to receiving
745
00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:26,400
the information
746
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,240
so just know that if you don't get it
747
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,360
the first time if you're not in the
748
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,280
state for learning it
749
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:32,559
put it down go study something else or
750
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,159
take a break come back
751
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:35,280
it's always going to be there even if
752
00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:36,799
you need to take more than three months
753
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,720
that's fine
754
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,159
even if it's four months or five months
755
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,360
however much you need as long as you
756
00:20:40,159 --> 00:20:43,679
secure this
757
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,120
uh this goal or this certification
758
00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:46,640
that's all you're really looking for
759
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,000
um i think it can be done in three
760
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,880
months and even though i had a little
761
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,799
bit of practice
762
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,000
before with just watching videos they're
763
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:53,520
really just videos and you could do that
764
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,600
on your free time too so
765
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,200
um this three months is not three months
766
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,640
of like really just coasting
767
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,640
this three months is really three months
768
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,960
of really putting your head down in the
769
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,120
dirt and studying as much as possible as
770
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:08,559
many times as possible over as much
771
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,559
different sources as you can so
772
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,400
yeah i would just recommend uh really to
773
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,159
just push yourself as much as possible
774
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,440
use all the resources they're out there
775
00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:18,640
i understand that they can be kind of
776
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,520
confusing because there's so many
777
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,360
different ones
778
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,640
but i'm going to provide links down in
779
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:26,720

00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:29,520

793
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,240
