I want to take CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 before the end of summer 2024 (before the start of the fall school semester). Better yet, it would be ideal if I have it done by the end of July. With that in mind, here is my tentative study plan for the next 7 weeks:
Learning: 5 weeks Further studying and reviewing: 1 week Taking the test: 1 week window
Note:
- Professor Messer has 121 videos in this series. For a 5-week plan, that puts you at just over 24 videos per week. I tried to reflect this in the weekly spread as closely as possible, but, in my opinion, it's more productive to have unbalanced weeks than to split an objective over a weekend. Thus, week 2 gets overloaded to 29 videos because of 2.3 and 2.4 having 14 and 15 videos respectively (jeez).
- Week 1 (June 10 - June 14) - videos 1-25
- Complete learning domain 1.0
- Learn domain 2.0 objectives 2.1-2.2
- Week 2 (June 17 - June 21) - videos 26-54
- Learn domain 2.0 objectives 2.3-2.4
- Week 3 (June 24 - June 28) - videos 55-75
- Complete learning domain 2.0 (2.5)
- Complete learning domain 3.0
- Week 4 (July 1 - July 5) - videos 76-99
- Learn domain 4.0 objectives 4.1-4.6
- Week 5 (July 8 - July 12) - videos 100-121
- Complete learning domain 4.0 (4.7-4.9)
- Complete learning domain 5.0
- Week 6 (July 15 - July 19)
- Review materials and take Messer's practice tests
- Week 7 (July 22 - July 26)
- Test time!
