Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though...

I wouldn't know how/where to evem start if it wasn't for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me... I basically:

watch the whoöe topic once
do all the comptia practice questions
identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
watch those (and more) videos again
rinse & repeat until the last week
switch to practice exams for the last week
hope for the best

I'll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though...

I really need to do the same tbh. I've had my Sec+ (going to be renewing it for the second time here soon) but i just have absolutely zilch on the networking side of the house and I'm not happy about it

For Security+ I actually liked the Gibson book more. Felt like it sat down with you to explain the relevant content while not using confusing or verbose language (e.g. Dion training videos).
