This course is for IT and security learners preparing for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam. Cover6 Academy built it around one loop: learn a domain, test yourself, close the gaps. It is independent of CompTIA.

What’s inside

• Start Here — Prep Pack: a how-it-works lesson and the Exam Blueprint & Study Plan, plus both practice tests
• Five Objective Sprints: one lesson per domain
• Practice Quiz: 25 untimed questions drawn at random from a 250-question original bank on every attempt
• Full Practice Exam: 90 questions in 90 minutes, mirroring the published maximum length and time
• Practical Checkpoint: write an incident triage and containment note
• Next Steps and Free Resources: terms lists and exam guides

How to use it

Pick the 6-week or 10-week plan and take a baseline Practice Quiz. Study each domain's Sprint, then take the 25-question Practice Quiz as often as you like. Use the review screen to see which questions you missed, go back to that Sprint, and repeat. When your Practice Quiz scores are consistently at or above the 83% pass mark, finish with the Practical Checkpoint and a timed Full Practice Exam in one sitting. Questions and answers shuffle on every attempt, retakes are unlimited, and every answer includes feedback and an explanation.

About your practice scores

Both quizzes report a percentage. Use it to decide what to study next, not to predict your exam result; it does not use the exam’s scoring scale. Aim for steady results across all five domains, not one strong total.
