Passed Sec+ 813 score

Hello
Been a long time lurker of this forum and decided to join to help others.

Just today I passed the Sec+ and took the whole time allotted.

Here is what helped me pass and hopefully others.

Professor Messer Videos and $10 sheet- Listened at least 3 times. Played nonstop, played at night sleeping, at work, and driving.
Darrel Gibson Premium and book- Practice tests were ok. the content is good for the price.

I spent 9 days preparing and got an 813 score.

My background includes 2 years of server infrastructure so I had experience and knew concepts around 70% of the material.

Advice - I put this as a priority with about 1 hour of actual reviewing the book for concepts around hashing, encryption and other various concepts so it is definitely doable for an entry level with a month of review. Listening to Prof. Messer over and over really helped. Also watching his study group series right before the test.

Congratulations and thanks for the tips!

What would you recommend for someone who has 0% knowledge on the subject matter instead of 70% knowledge like yourself?

Study for 3 months instead of 1? Or was it somewhat easy to remember/learn.
