\"I don\'t want to hold you\" but I set a date for my security+. I\'ve
been dragging my feet a little for unknown reasons. Now, with a date I
had to ramp up my studying and really push the resources. The following
is a list of things I\'m using and if I recommend it (please remember I
haven\'t sat for the test yet).
Pocket Prep
-----------
Pocket prep is a free study app but you only get 30 questions. They have
different paid plans to give you more material and even have a guarantee
at certain price.
*Recommendation: Don\'t Buy*
Sect+ book
----------
This is a book written by Darril Gibson. Buying the book give you free
access to his site and more practice quizzes. He states in the beginning
that with the book you only need 45 days to learn the material and pass
the test.
*Recommendation: Buy*
Security+ app ([iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/comptia-security-sy0-501-prep/id482991132)/[Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.learnzapp.securityplus&hl=en_US)) {#security-app-ios-android-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This app is supposed to go hand in hand with the book. I\'m not sure how
true that is but I love it. The questions and notecards feel more
aligned with the test. I ended up buying the bundle of this app and the
Network+ version. Why? Because I\'ll need it next so might as well pay
\$20 now vs \$28.
*Recommendation: Buy*
Professor Messer
----------------
Every recommends him for Network+ but I like how he talks through the
Security+ stuff as well. I watched a few youtube videos and ultimately
bought his notes and practice test. I like that it\'s 3 full length
practice test, because for me I need to know what is expected on these
questions. You can just buy his test if you want but I like comparing
notes as well.
*Recommendation: Buy*

That\'s all I got. I\'m going to stop wasting time and go back to
studying. 😅
