This is a good practice test set, It won't give you the questions that you will be asked but it will provide you with a comprehensive view of what you could expect to be asked on the actual exam and it will provide you some insights and feedback on the topics that you need to review/re-study, which is exactly what I needed this set to do for me. There were a couple of questions that needed to be reviewed (one the 5th exam in particular): one has a duplicated answer and the other one is just a format issue (an extra ')' ). The overall material covered is excellent. I completed another security + course in udemy and in netacad before going through these exams, my scores on these practice exams were were between 77-87. I reviewed the feedback answers as well as the other course material and I follow up with gemini (AI) to get further explanations on the topics and questions I failed (that was a great help). Yesterday I passed with 795 on the exam. Thank you.

By Lily M on 7/5/2025

This is the best practical course with the questions which are the closest to the real exam, than any other courses. Also the explanation is the best. I tried 5 practical testing courses before I found this one. And I passed my exam. Gratitude and respect to the autor! The only thing which I do not like, that the last set of tests has so many questions with choosing more than one answer, which makes it too difficult and not close to real exam.

By Jared Don Bingham on 2/10/2025

Totally unsatisfactory, or out of date. These practice exams look nothing like the actual exam. Only a small handful of the questions are remotely similar to the questions on the real exam. Don't waste your time or money.

By Cristian Puerto on 8/21/2024

These practice exams were harder than the actual test but I like it that way since you're used to using more critical thinking. Once you go and take the real test, it feels just that much easier! Very good detailed explanations for every answer for each question, and also the questions that were wrong and why too which really helps! USE THESE PRACTICE TESTS TO PREPARE!! They were probably the reason I was able to pass first try!

By Harold Joseph L. Reyes on 7/2/2024

So far the hardest and most comprehensive test I had before the exam. Really helpful and I am now much more confident to pass my certificate knowing that I was able to take these quizzes. Thank you so much! I really appreciate how detailed you are and how you took time to tailor those questions and answers. Good job! Looking forward to buying more of your training/courses/exams

By Maxx on 6/7/2024

This Quiz set is okay and a good help for Exam. I cleared the Security+ and used these quiz along with other practice quiz. Just dont expect this or any other quiz set will cover everything regarding all five Domains. Comptia exam will judge you on every possible scenario and never expect exam will ask simple definitions or simple uses like some in this quizset. And it is way more practically challenging than this. So Learning well is only option.

By James Holden on 5/14/2024

I read a book on the Sec+ and studied these questions and passed the first time. As other have noted these tests are very good at representing the feel of the real questions. If you don't have experience you may want to add a second batch of test questions just to be sure you're getting all the angles. I have been in the field for several years so that helped. If you're not use to PBQ's then you might want to explore those since they are not in this package, however, the test PBQ's are often much easier then the ones the test kits seem to deliver; I had two on my test and they weren't that difficult. Thank you Dr. Nasser for creating a solid bank of test questions that were a great help in passing the test.

By Sam S on 4/24/2024

The thing I like the most about these tests is that all correct and incorrect options to each question are explained so you know why the correct answers are correct AND why the incorrect answers are incorrect. The explanations are a perfect balance of short and detailed without missing important information. The questions are especially challenging, but don't feel out of scope which makes them perfect. Everyone always says to do Dion's tests, but I noticed this guy had the highest ratings, so I picked him instead and I'm really glad I did. Incredible job, very happy. Thanks so much for your effort on these tests, they are extremely helpful.

By Ana on 2/17/2024

The material precisely aligns with its description. Designed for the end user, this resource radiates professionalism and genuine care for learners' success. It offers balanced domain coverage, providing comprehensible material that strengthens knowledge and confidence. The inclusion of simulated PBQs, thorough explanations, and a clear overall structure enhances the learning experience and exam readiness. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am thankful for the guidance and encouragement post-tests.

By Faizan Nihal on 1/20/2024

The course offers an extensive collection of 360 questions, including PBQs, which are critical for anyone preparing for the Security+ exam. These questions were not only abundant but also meticulously designed to mirror the style and complexity of the actual exam. It's evident that a lot of thought and expertise went into developing this practice exam, making it a valuable resource for anyone serious about obtaining their Security+ certification.
