No — and that surprises people. Professor Messer's free courses are how many people passed A+, Network+ and Security+, but his catalog stops at Security+: he publishes nothing for PenTest+ at all. The free-course path that exists for the earlier certs simply isn't there for this one.

CompTIA lists 3–4 years in a penetration tester job role, with Network+ and Security+ or equivalent, as the recommended experience for PT0-003 — recommended, in their own words. The guide assumes you know your ports and your security fundamentals, and teaches everything specific to pen testing — the engagement process, the tooling, the attack techniques — from the ground up.

Match it to your exam date. Sitting within a week, the 7-Day Pass is built for that. A month out, the 30-Day. No date yet, or you want it to keep working after you pass — Lifetime.

CompTIA scores PT0-003 on a scaled 100–900, with 750 to pass — that isn't a straight percentage of questions right, so nobody can tell you an exact number correct. Our mocks hold you to a deliberately conservative internal bar so that being ready here means being comfortably ready there.

They're written to CompTIA's published PT0-003 objectives and weighted to them exactly — 13% Engagement Management, 21% Reconnaissance and Enumeration, 17% Vulnerability Discovery and Analysis, 35% Attacks and Exploits, 14% Post-exploitation and Lateral Movement. A mock is the same shape as the real thing: 90 questions in 165 minutes.

The bank is multiple-choice, which is the majority of the exam and the part you can drill. PBQs are hands-on simulations — the way to prepare for those is to know the material cold and to have used the tools, and the guide walks through what each tool and technique actually does rather than just naming it.

Your progress is kept. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you were — and upgrades always credit what you already paid.

Yes. Change the date and the plan rebuilds around your new one.

Yes — everything syncs across devices, and the reader, flashcards and practice all work on a phone.

Because they're real commitments — every guarantee is a refund, and on Lifetime a reimbursement of your retake — that we may genuinely pay out, so we underwrite 25 of them each week for PenTest+. If a week's allocation is claimed, buying still works: your guarantee simply activates the following Monday, when unclaimed spots reset.

Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on the 7-Day Pass, 48 hours on the 30-Day Pass, or 72 hours on Lifetime, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.
