First off, thank you for the input. Now my question is, do you mean review questions 1-600 or work the way from 600 to 849? I hope you read this and reply.

I passed my exam today! 833/900! The questions and PBQs are reliable. All my PBQs were from here and I had only 2 multiple choices that were not from here. I studied all 849 multiple times through. 600-849 was the most helpful. And, like many say, study and learn the concepts. My study consisted of a 2-week bootcamp, books, Prof Messer videos, and Jason Dion’s online course. But, Examtopics was the most helpful. Good luck to you! You can do it!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to share my experience about the exam I had yesterday. I did it in a test center, had 74 questions, 4 PBQs (the data classification, the infected server, the firewalls and the attacks), the rest of the questions except of 2 were from 600-850, word by word. The two questions that were not from the dump were not difficult at all. Seriously, not sure if I got lucky, but I got the most easiest questions. I brut forced all ports and all acronyms, but I didn't get a single port number one on the test. I expected more harder questions to be honest. For study I used Dion Training and the book from D. Gibson, and I went trough all 850 questions 3 times. It was worth it. I would like to thank AppelbeeWater and everyone who took the time to provide answers and explain the concepts, and of course examtopics for the excellent practice questions. Good luck everyone! The test isn't harder as you think, if you know your material.

D. Blackbox (or unknown environment)- the consultant is given no privileged information about the network and its security systems. This type of test would require the tester to perform a reconnaissance phase. Black box tests are useful for simulating the behavior of an external threat.

D. Unknown environment. This type of test, also known as black-box testing or external penetration testing, simulates an attack from outside of your organization, without any prior information or credential.

Unknown environment is when the pen tester is given no information about the environment they're assigned to test in efforts to simulate a real external attack from a malicious actor.

Unknown environment (Option D): In an unknown environment penetration test, the tester is provided with minimal information about the target, simulating conditions that resemble an actual external attack. This type of test is designed to assess how well the organization's defenses can withstand real-world scenarios.
