🎯 How I Passed 3 CompTIA Certs in Just 6 Weeks Each (On the First Try!)
A+, Network+, and Security+ — Here’s the exact game plan I followed to knock them out efficiently and confidently.
This video breaks down how I prepared for three CompTIA certifications — A+ (Core 1 & 2), Network+, and Security+ — dedicating just 6 weeks per cert and passing each one on my first attempt.
It sounds like clickbait, but it’s not. I’m walking you through the exact weekly structure, resources I used, and how I maximized every bit of study time — especially as a busy adult with a full plate.

🗓️ My 6-Week Study Formula for Each Cert:
Week 1: Watch all Professor Messer videos (at 1.25x–1.5x speed if needed)
Week 2: Take practice tests from Exam Compass to identify weak spots
Week 3: Review wrong answers, take notes, and use ChatGPT to fill gaps
Week 4: Take Jason Dion’s Udemy practice exams
Week 5: Deep dive into wrong answers again using notes + ChatGPT
Week 6: Retake Dion’s tests aiming for 90%+ consistently
🧠 Pro Tips:
Use active recall and spaced repetition
Don’t just memorize — understand the "why" behind the answer
Simulate test-day conditions when taking practice exams
Let ChatGPT be your personal tutor to clarify anything that’s unclear
