“I am studying for sec + exam and taking the chapter test in learn mode – I am finding it very helpful to read through the answers thoroughly to help understand why answer is correct and why the other ones are wrong. I was getting into the habit like some of us to memorize the questions and answers, this is path for failure, Hopefully this learn mode process will help get the full concepts and pass the sec + test which I am taking in a month.”
“Took my Security+ exam today for the first time and passed with an 831. I found the practice exams in learning mode to be the most helpful – especially the very well written explanations of not only why the right answer was right, but why the wrong answers were wrong. Thanks for making a very helpful product.”
“Personally, this is one of the better test banks for Security+ and I highly recommend it.”
“I just passed my Security + today!!!!! Your material really helped. For folks that are currently using the material please use all the tools available. Also utilize the performance questions and any questions that you get wrong understand why those questions were wrong. Finally if you have access to the audio reviews, use them while on your way to the exam. It really does help.”
“Thank you very much for the security+ materials. I passed security+ test today. I studied only 4 days, the detail explanation for each and every question was the reason I was able to pass my test.”
“After doing research I found your program and am glad I did! You helped me understand why my incorrect answers were wrong and why the correct answers are right. This helped me on the live exam. I took the exam today and it was very challenging, but I passed with a 762. I do not think I could have passed without your online tests and content.”
