Failed Security+ Study Help

in Security+
Soo I've been studying for the test since this summer. I've read Darril Gibson's book and watched Professor Messer's videos on youtube but I still completely bombed the test. I think I did ok on the multiple choice, but those simulation/performance based questions are what got me. I read that Darril Gibson's materials helped. I just want to make sure that it was the Practice Test questions that I should purchase to help with studying...
btw...
I really don't know how people studied for two weeks and passed.

Another thing that is very difficult for all cert-seekers to do is to self-judge if they really understand each topic they are studying. It is easy to fool yourself into believing you know a topic by only reading very simple explanations, or by repeatedly taking and passing practice exams. I prepare for exams my making sure that can give a 60-second speech on each topic. You really need to know a lot about a topic to be able to talk about it for a full minute, and you quickly discover what you don't really understand.
