Whether you're preparing for Security+, GRC, Cloud, Data, or any other tech certification—how you study matters just as much as what you study. Here are some proven study tips to help you stay consistent, confident, and fully prepared: 1. Create a Dedicated Study Schedule Consistency beats cramming every time. Pick specific study days and times and treat them like appointments with your future career. 2. Use Active Learning (Not Just Reading) You’ll retain way more if you: Take handwritten notes Teach the concept out loud Do hands-on labs Quiz yourself frequently If you can explain it, you understand it. 3. Break the Material Into Bite-Sized Goals Instead of saying “I’m studying Domain 1,” break it down into: - 1.1 Terminology - 1.2 Threat actors - 1.3 Tools This helps prevent overwhelm and boosts confidence. 4. Join Accountability Groups This community is here to support you.Post what you’re studying, ask questions, and connect with accountability partners.Success is easier when you’re not doing it alone. 5. Mix Study Methods Use a blend of: Books & PDFs YouTube or instructional videos Flashcards Labs or virtual environments Practice exams Different tools = different angles of understanding. 6. Practice Exams = Your Best Friend Take them early and often.They’ll help you: - Identify weak areas - Get used to the exam format - Reduce test anxiety Set a goal to reach 80–85% consistently before scheduling your exam. 7. Protect Your Focus Turn off distractions. Put your phone in another room. Study in 25–45 minute blocks with short breaks in between. 8. Don’t Study Alone Until the Last Minute Ask questions, post what you’re working on, and get clarification early. The more you engage, the faster you learn. 9. Track Your Progress Every time you finish a section, quiz, or lab, mark it off. Progress tracking = instant motivation. 10. Take Care of Yourself Sleep. Water. Breaks. Your brain can’t download information when you’re burnt out.

Hi 👋🏽. Glad to be here. I'm new to the IT world, with a few certifications under my belt. I'm looking to eventually get into the cyber world. I'm not studying for any certifications currently. I'm just trying to find a good paying IT job to get me started.

I’m so excited you’re here! I literally created this group yesterday, and I’m working on getting resources, guides, and support materials uploaded for you all. In the meantime, feel free to make a post introducing yourself — share what you’re currently studying so you can connect with others and find your study buddies. 🤝📚 We’re building this community together, and I’m glad you’re part of it! 🚀
