CompTIA Security+ Study Plan
AI-generated Daily Plans for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701). Entry-level security certification covering threats, architecture, operations, and program management.
What's on the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)
- General Security Concepts
- Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations
- Security Architecture
- Security Operations
- Security Program Management and Oversight
Why it's hard
Security+ has the largest acronym surface of any entry security cert. PBQs early in the exam test command-line and config-window scenarios — slow there, you cap on time elsewhere.
How Fennie helps
Fennie keeps a running acronym flashcard set across the exam blueprint and drills PBQ-style scenarios with timed targets, so neither part of the exam ambushes you.
A sample week of prep
- 01Mon — Acronyms + cryptography concepts
- 02Tue — Threats + attack types scenarios
- 03Wed — Architecture: zero trust, network design
- 04Thu — Operations: IR, forensics, hardening
- 05Fri — GRC + risk management
- 06Sat — Full timed practice exam
- 07Sun — Review and regenerate plan
Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.
