Not prepping but got the cert a few months back. Can help you with some study materials if needed and share my experience.

What was your preparation? I've got Meyer's Security+ book, and did the Cybersecurity certificate at QCC, I've got a non-related bachelors degree, and my work experience is IT-adjacent. Are you working in the industry now?

I watched videos of Messer and then used Messer’s and Dion’s test papers and hung out in the community discord. The discord part was fun because people were so helpful with some concepts and group study was indeed fun. I’m working as a network engineer currently, can’t still transition to security.

Fight on brother. How long would you say it took for you to feel ready, from start of prep to scheduling and passing your exam?

It took me around 2 months but I was learning like 6 hours a day. I read somewhere that if I don’t schedule the exam, I won’t feel ready. So went ahead and scheduled for 2 months and made my way up there.
