Questions, answered
What's inside the study portal?
The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it, backed by the SurePass Guarantee.
How does the SurePass Guarantee work?
Score 80%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On Lifetime, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also reimburse your exam retake fee in full. You file the claim in your study portal with your official score report.
Isn't there a well-known free Security+ course?
Yes — Professor Messer's video course is free and it's genuinely good; a lot of people pass with it. What it isn't is a practice system. Its paid bundle is $119 for 270 practice questions. This is 1,350 questions, spaced-repetition flashcards, three full mocks, a readiness score built from your own answers, and a guarantee. Watching the videos and practicing here is a perfectly sensible combination.
Which pass should I buy?
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 while you go on to CySA+ — Lifetime.
How is the exam scored?
CompTIA scores SY0-701 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.
Are the questions like the real exam?
They're written to CompTIA's published SY0-701 objectives and weighted to them exactly — 12% General Security Concepts, 22% Threats and Vulnerabilities, 18% Security Architecture, 28% Security Operations, 20% Program Management. A mock is the same shape as the real thing: 90 questions, 90 minutes.
Does it cover performance-based questions?
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 PBQ topic actually asks you to do.
What happens when my pass expires?
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.
My exam date moved. Does the plan adjust?
Yes. Change the date and the plan rebuilds around your new one.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes — everything syncs across devices, and the reader, flashcards and practice all work on a phone.
Why are SurePass guarantees limited?
Because they're real commitments — every guarantee is a refund, and on Lifetime a contribution to your next voucher — that we may genuinely pay out, so a limited number of them opens for Security+ each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?
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.
Have questions or concerns?
A real person reads every message and replies by email.
