Mike Chappele’s Course Prep

According to the info on LinkedIn, as long as you’re a LinkedIn member, the shared post will allow temporary free access to the material without premium. Hope this helps someone, enjoy! 🚀

Update: I provisionally passed the exam this morning, I am beyond excited! 🥳 

While I’m working towards my Security+ and CySA+ (CompTIA) I came across Mike Chapple’s website, certmike.com. If you do not have LinkedIn premium, you can get access to it free for one month, via his site thru the link below.

@AndreaMoore Hi, before I posted a link, I wanted to make sure it was okay to do so. 

I’m on a free trial of LinkedIn premium and noticed after taking the Cert prep course by Mike Chapple and some of the practice exams for ISC2 CC that LinkedIn offers temporary access for 24 hours via LinkedIn directly from my post. Is it okay for me to post that link here for others without premium to get access to that training? I found them very useful and figured I might as well share it.

All paid platforms have authentication (of course for CIA purposes) and enable specific services for that paid person only. Sharing that link does not allow others to access the content freely without proper authentication. While preparing for CC, this is a concept to bear in mind.

Let ISC2 answer your question as you have tagged them.

Thanks @hsehdar 

For now I’ll just share the direct links to Mike Chappele’s prep course and one of the practice exams I found on LinkedIn. The practice exam is very helpful, I haven’t taken the exam yet, but found these resources to provide me with extra knowledge aside from the free self paced material provided by ISC2. 

Practice Exam (100 questions, customizable timed/untimed/focus on domain/s or all):

@NicoleR 

Thanks for asking. It's fine to share recommendations for study materials.

I can say that I actually watched Mike Chapple's course in the past. The main reason was that I saw the CC covering topics I thought would be too advanced for an entry level certification. I learned that it all comes down to depth. While any items are cover they are not covered in great depth, more so just to give a person an understanding of what they are. It's a bit hard for someone like me to judge if the CC is easy or hard because with a lot of the stuff I learned it so long ago I can't even remember where I learned it! With many things in life, it's not about memorization, it's about comprehension. I always feel like I only know something when I can explain it to someone else and have them get it. I wonder if we will see a day when security is just absorbed into business because it's just simply that important and needed across everything.

Hello, my name is Deanna Draine.

I so didn't pass my exam this evening. What are my options to study for things that are actually on the exam? i am not sure if the course gave enough information to pass it. What do you recommend? 

Thanks,

Deanna Draine

Hi Deanna,

I studied hard, I went thru the online CC course material 6 times, I did all the practice tests on the online CC course, and got high marks, I did the Mike Chapple linkdin course, and also studied the Flashcards several times, I read the Certified CC book 3 times, I did the Total Semester test and scored high marks on each domain. Yet when I did the exam, the questions / wording really baffled me, and at the end of the exam I did not pass, My security Principles, Network security was above average, BC, IR DR an Sec. Operations below average. Most of the questions I encountered in the exam, where not on the CC online study guide, example SDLC (software development Lifecyle), I re-call 4 questions on this topic. Like yourself, I am disappointed that I did not pass.

Hey there,

I wonder what can be done to understand or study for the exam if the
content isn't pertaining the course outline. Is there anything to learn? I
have yet to find that answer. How many times have you been able to take the
exam? I just took it March 8th. Let me know.

Thanks,
Deanna

Hi Deana!

My understanding - without having taken the exam - is that the difference is most notable in the style of question? The self-paced course and other resources are good sources of information, but you need to be prepared to approach the questions in a particular way. The "best" answer - not just a correct answer. 

I hope this helps! You can also watch this webinar from earlier in the month, to get some tips: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/260/606839?utm_source=ISC2Webinars&utm_medium=BrightTALK&utm_camp...

I recommend that you watch Thor’s Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) course on Udemy. It already includes two practice exams, which were very helpful for me. Additionally, you can use YouTube for additional CC practice questions.
