FAQs
PenTest+ is considered intermediate-level. It requires knowledge of penetration testing, scripting, and security tools, but with proper training, it’s manageable.
The exam includes multiple-choice and performance-based questions that assess both theoretical and practical skills.
PenTest+ is vendor-neutral and more hands-on, while CEH focuses more on theoretical concepts. Both are respected, but PenTest+ emphasizes practical skills.
Most participants complete their preparation in 6-10 weeks, depending on experience and study habits.
It’s recommended to have Security+ or equivalent knowledge before taking PenTest+. Beginners might find the course challenging without prior experience.
You can retake the exam. Additional resources and mentoring will be provided to help strengthen your knowledge for the next attempt.
