How to quickly (and legitimately) pass any IT certification, whether it's any of the CompTIA certificates (such as A+, Network+, Security+, etc), Cisco, Azure, CISSP, or AWS. I have used this method for all of my certifications, as well as for both my bachelor's degree (5 months) and master's degree.

Intro

Today I’m going to tell you how to quickly (and legitimately) pass any IT certification, whether it’s any of the Comptia certificates (such as A+, Network+, Security+, etc), Cisco, Azure, or AWS. I have used this method for all of my certifications, as well as for both my bachelor’s degree (5 months) and master’s degree.

This method is broken down into three phases.

Phase 1) Priming
Phase 2) Learning
Phase 3) Polishing
Phase 1 (Priming)

During phase one, you’ll initially expose yourself to the new material. What you need to do, is locate the best possible video series you can, that covers all the exam topics and objectives. For example, if I wanted to pass CompTIA Security+, I might go to reddit to see what video series other people have used to pass the exam.

When you start watching the videos, don’t put too much emphasis on trying to MEMORIZE anything during this phase. Just watch and put emphasis on trying to understand the material at that time. Memorization efforts will come later.

Phase 2 (Learning)

During phase two, you’ll begin connecting the dots to the fragments of knowledge you gained in the first phase.

You’ll need a few things for this phase:

Practice Questions with good explanations. Use the same method you used to find the video series to find your practice questions. For CompTIA, Professor Messer is pretty good, but do a search for your specific exam.
In addition to the practice questions, you’re also going to need a free spaced-repetition flashcard program called Anki. I could make a whole video on this (there are many, check them out). Anki is a type of spaced repetition flashcard software that optimizes your learning by showing you “harder” cards more often (harder being determined by your previous answer).
I just want to note that I’ve used Anki with this study method I’m about to describe to obtain both my bachelors and masters degree and about 13-14 certifications. I’ve also used Anki to teach myself Japanese!

Once you have your practice questions and Anki, It’s time to get to work. Open your practice questions and Anki together. What we are going to do is, start going through your practice questions, and for any question you don’t completely understand or that we get wrong, we are going to add that question into Anki, as well as any relevant supporting information that we want to learn.

It’s really important that you be honest with yourself and ensure that you fully understand all the topics in the question. If you fully understand the question and all of its components, don’t add it to anki. If you got the question correct, but don’t understand one component of the question or answers, add that component to anki.

Go through ALL of your practice questions, all the while making entries in Anki. Once you have done this, I would also recommend searching out some user-created questions on Quizlet and do the same thing. Be careful though, because some user-created questions might be low quality. Add another couple hundred questions from Quizlet, or until you are satisfied.

Depending on the exam, I would recommend going through at least 1000 practice questions and adding the content to Anki.
