Mapped to every SY0-701 objective

All five domains at exam weight. Your readiness score tracks each one, so you drill weakness instead of re-studying comfort zones.

PBQ-style interactive questions — included

The Security+ exam doesn't stop at multiple choice. Neither does this bank.

~50 PBQ-style interactive questions, built in the formats this cert actually tests:

  • Port and attack matching
  • Firewall rule config tables
  • Log analysis (multi-part)
  • Incident-response ordering

CompTIA sells its official PBQ practice separately at $149+ per exam. Here it's part of the $69 — not an add-on, not an upsell. Included.

Judge the quality yourself

A real question from the Security+ bank. Every one of the 1,300 works like this.

Security+ SY0-701 Domain 2 — Threats, Vulnerabilities & Mitigations

A security analyst notices failed login attempts against many different user accounts. Each account sees only two or three attempts, all using common passwords like "Winter2025!" — and the attempts come slowly, over several days. Which attack is MOST likely occurring?

  1. A. Brute-force attack
  2. B. Credential stuffing
  3. C. Password spraying Correct
  4. D. Rainbow table attack

Why C is correct

Password spraying tries a few common passwords across many accounts, slowly, specifically to stay under account-lockout thresholds. That's exactly the pattern described: many accounts, few attempts each, common passwords, spread over days.

Why the others are incorrect

A brute-force attack hammers one account with many passwords — the opposite volume pattern. Credential stuffing replays real username/password pairs stolen from other breaches, not guessed common passwords. A rainbow table attack is an offline technique against stolen password hashes — it never generates login attempts at all.

Security+ questions, answered straight

“Is this current for SY0-701?”
Yes. Every question is mapped to the published SY0-701 objectives, and your lifetime access covers updates for as long as this exam version is live. The English SY0-701 exam retires June 11, 2027. The Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Thai versions retire August 13, 2027.
“Should I take SY0-701 or the new SY0-801?”
Both earn the same Security+ certification. If your exam is already booked on SY0-701, or you have studied the V7 material and can test before June 11, 2027, finishing what you started is usually the right call. If you are starting from scratch, SY0-801 launches November 17, 2026 and stays current longer, and its bank has its own page.
“Are these copied from the real exam?”
No. Every question is original and written to the published objectives. Nothing is copied from a live exam, which is why practicing here carries zero ban risk for your certification.
“What about the scenario-style questions everyone fears?”
That's exactly what we drill: realistic 'select the BEST answer' scenario questions in the format you'll face on test day, each with an explanation of why the best answer beats the almost-right ones.
“How do I know when I'm ready to book the $439 exam?”
The readiness score tracks your performance by domain. When you're consistently scoring high on material you trust, you book with confidence: walk in knowing, not hoping.
