No. The exam fee is paid to CompTIA and covers the exam itself. Certilum is a separate product: 90 practice questions for this certification, tagged to the official domains, with a difficulty score of 2.2/10.

Use a structured approach: study the official objectives, take vendor-neutral courses, and practice with performance-based labs. Focus on domain weights, especially Security Operations and Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations. Build flashcards for ports, encryption, security controls, and attack types. Take daily practice exams and review every wrong answer in depth. Schedule hands-on lab time for log analysis, firewall rule interpretation, incident response, and hardening tasks to build muscle memory for performance-based questions.
