    I did mine many years ago but found it quite straight forward, I think a month doing an hour a day did me, with maybe 2-3 hours on a Saturday or Sunday. It was very enjoyable so I didn't really feel like it was arduous. What study materials are you using?

    Sorry if this is bad forum etiquette but I had a similar question to him - I am looking to get my CompTIA Security+ Certification. It seems to me there's a lot of ways for beginners to educate themselves that vary wildly in cost and don't seem to be a focused curriculum.

    Any recommendations on that? I have no problem putting the work in but it'd be nice to know I am focused on the right educational items to one day take the test and pass. I found a book on Amazon that looks promising:

    I have less than a month of study time for this cert.
    Security + SY0-701 3rd edition by Ian Neil - 1 chapter away from reading cover to cover and completing all the quizzes.
    I am also reading Security + 701 Exam Notes by Michael LT
    I am also watching Professor Messer videos by exam objectives prior to reading chapter.

    After this I will go and try and find any Security+ 701 quizzes and see what I score at. Once I'm at 90'ish scoring on every test quez I'll go sit for the exam.
