On Saturday, 10/19/24, I took the SEC+ 701 test and achieved a significant milestone- I passed on my first attempt despite my background being in the financial industry rather than IT. This is a testament that you can achieve even more with the right school, class materials, learning strategy, and determination! The empowerment from passing on the first attempt, especially from a non-IT background, is a powerful inspiration. It's a feeling that I want to share with you to inspire and motivate you on your journey. I understand everyone has unique learning styles, and I'm willing to share the study strategy that led to my success. Leveraging my philosophy background, I applied Plato's philosophical theory that every idea has a corresponding higher concept. This unique approach allowed me to pair each concept with a keyword, creating a condensed version of the class materials with critical terms in the context of the CompTIA-specific Domains. • The school's resources were not just helpful; they were instrumental in my preparation journey. I printed out and reviewed the CompTIA Objectives, a comprehensive list of all the topics that could appear on the exam. I focused primarily on the concepts I wasn't familiar with. For instance, if I run into two concepts, such as Geographical restriction and limitation, I will spend time on the one I have no clue about, just in case it pops up on the exam. The school's resources were crucial to my success, and I encourage you to use them in your preparation. They were not just tools but a guiding light in my journey. • I followed the professor's instructions and a weekly plan to cover all the necessary materials and practice tests to ensure I was well-prepared for the exam. I extensively used Professor Q* invaluable notes. They could account for up to 40% of easy bonus points on the exam. The tips on memorizing acronyms, protocols, and their numbers were also critical. • The school's resources and links (like "Important SEC+ Concepts/Notes") were beneficial and crucial to my preparation. I encourage you to review them thoroughly to ensure you're well-equipped for the exam. I relied on Professor Messer’s summary notes to reinforce my understanding. • I practiced using the school's test portal, which simulated the exam format. I participated in weekend simulation sessions organized by Intellectualpoint—this is a must! These sessions could account for up to 30% of easy bonus points on the exam. • I took my notes during class and studied for four hours daily, increasing to 12 on weekends. Consistency is key! • Time management is not just crucial; it's a game-changer during the exam. Skip questions you don't understand at first and return to them later. This strategy saves time and helps you maintain a steady pace and boost confidence throughout the exam. • CompTIA often provides hints or keywords for most questions to guide you to the correct answer. Please pay attention to the keywords in the questions. The most rewarding part of this journey was the school's unwavering dedication to student success. From offering excellent study materials to providing great professors and staff, they stood behind me every step of the way. If you're looking for a place that will support your learning journey, I highly recommend this school. Best of luck to anyone preparing for their certification, and remember—if I could do it, you can, too!

The instructor Steve did a great job on explaining the material and wait to expect when taking the Comptia Security+ exam. I passed it on the first try. I do feel Intellectual Point does care for their students.

Intellectual Point helped me prepare and pass the exam in the first attempt. The resources provided were tremendously helpful.

I was lucky to complete the Security + and CEH certificates with IP because they give you the necessary resources, take the time to answer and help you with any questions or problems you may have. They are aware that some materials can be difficult to understand, so they give you different tips for studying. Personally, I love their labs and the practice exams are very useful to understand the subject and even more their study program, and you will end up experiencing their phrase of "trust the process." They are definitely the best at this.

I went in to Intellectual Point not knowing what to expect when studying for the Security + Certification. The instructor I had was very good in breaking the concepts. He was also very helpful during the multiple review sessions prior to exam. The Simulations, and the sample exam questions definitely prepared me thoroughly for the exam. It was a big time commitment but well worth it in the end. I have already started recommending their services to people in my circle due to the level of professional and thoroughness the program has provided to me for this cert. Looking forward to working with IP for addition certs as needed

I had been preparing for CompTIA Security+ cerification for some time but I never had the confidence totake the exam because I could see I was not scoring enough from the online practice exams. Something always felt missing especially the lab portion of the exam. The classes from Intellectual Point and their review sessions did just enough for me to strengthen my fundamentals. Their practice exams and simulations give you the perfect flavor of what to expect on the exam, the language, the subjects to focus on. If you don't have a lot of time and just want an intensive month-long investment into the study for the certification, Intellectual Point is the perfect solution. This is especially true for the Armed services and working people who have other things to deal with in their day-to-day. Optimal is what I would use to describe their classes and training. I am also making use of Intellectual Point career services while transitioning from military to civilian life and I hope it lands me somewhere good. They have seemed really communicative and caring till this stage.

Professional, supportive, and leading subject matter experts in the field. Came in with little to no experience and left with a job offer in the IT field. The learning environment is unlike any other experience and will keep you coming back for more. Thank you for what y'all at Intellectual Point do.

I had an awesome experience with IP. The courses and instructors were phenomenal, knowledgeable, and patient. Their career counselors are also very understanding, flexible, and provide selfless support as you continue through IP’s pathways.
