Sybex CompTIA CySA+ Practice Tests: Exam CS0–002

The CySA+ is definitely a much more difficult test than the Security+. There are a ton of logs you'll have to understand how to read, many tools you'll have to understand, how to recognize XSS and SQL Injection attacks, etc. This book did a phenomenal job with preparing me for the kind of questions that I would see on the test. There are somewhere between 200-300 questions for each domain, so you'll get plenty of exposure for each domain. Plus, there are two full practice exams at the end of the book. They recommend you to take the first one, find where you're weak, and focus on those domains. Once you're done touching up your weaknesses, then take the second full practice exam. Definitely worth picking up if you are looking to take this exam.

Book is in black and white, which is useless when questions refer to colour images! Also after having successfully completed the exam, it's worth noting the practice test questions are nothing like the real exam questions. Studying only these questions in isolation will not help you to pass!

I used this to study for my CySA+ along with the Study Guide by Mike Chapple. The questions are high quality, some have diagrams or logfile output to analyze, and so on. The best part is that the answers also have explanations - why which answer is correct and why the others are wrong. I passed my CySA+ certification using this book as a resource. I highly recommend it!

Using Mike Dion's course on Udemy and this practice test book was all that I needed to pass! I highly recommend going through EVERY question, lookup terminology you don't know, make notes on the questions you missed then revisit them before taking the exam. Also, flashcards are your friend!!! Good Luck 🤞

Out of all of the study materials/practice tests I got for the CySA+ exam, this material most closely resembled what I saw on the exam. Highly recommend, especially using the digital version on Wiley Efficient Learning.
