Any PenTest+ Tips

---

Hi,

I've been enjoying @daniel-lowrie87's PenTest+ course. I plan to take the certification in the near future to recertify my CySA+ (which I found to be quite difficult). Does anyone have any general tips that they could share? I think I saw in a blog or a YouTube video to focus on reverse/bind shells and metasploit.

Cheers!
Thomas

Greetings, @Thomas-Luizzi

The Pentest+ exam is a relatively straight forward exam. As far as the topics you'll see in the exam, I would just make sure you're comfortable with objective topics provided by CompTIA and be on the lookout for reverse-logic type questions (ie Which of the following tools are NOT used to establish a reverse shell?). Read each question thoroughly and follow other standard exam taking best-practices. My exam wasn't super tricky, but you want to be prepared and not lose points for simple mistakes.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Daniel
