CompTIA PenTest+ Opinions
Where are some opinions regarding CompTIA's PenTest+.
From what I've read it is supposed to fit between CASP and Security+. Right now it is only in beta and I am having a hard time finding any material on it. I assume those sitting for the test are just relying on experience to sit the exam. It is only $50, so the pressure is not as much as a usual exam, but if it does become an actual exam it might be nice to have on a resume.
From what we've been give from CompTIA, you are spot-on as to where this exam sits between CASP and Sec+. It looks like the exam objectives are available so you can self-study those, but as far as "Official" study-guides or courses, those will be forthcoming as they take time to create and the exam is so new. We will be creating that content here in the near future, so be on the look out for that. Until then we have Pentesting content that will help supplement your self-study.

Other penetration testing certifications will almost certainly have overlap as well, so looking at their material could help as well.
Hope that helps,
