Professor Messer's Security+ SY0-701 Study Group - April 2026
Professor Messer opened the April 2026 Security+ SY0‑701 study group with a pre‑show, greeting a worldwide chat and outlining the two‑hour interactive format.
The first hour will feature live multiple‑choice questions drawn directly from the CompTIA exam objectives, while the second hour flips the script, letting participants submit their own queries via professors.com/qa. Messer emphasized the global attendance—from Louisiana to Portugal—and reminded viewers that the session is recorded for on‑demand review.
A sample “rewind” question asked which protocol secures router admin sessions, illustrating the practical focus. Messer also highlighted the SY0‑701 exam’s schedule: launched November 2023, slated to retire May 2027, 90‑minute duration, up to 90 questions, and a 750‑point passing threshold, with performance‑based items included.
For candidates, the live event offers real‑time feedback, access to practice exams, pop‑quiz questions, and an e‑book of exam hacks, reinforcing the need to master current objectives before the exam’s 2027 sunset. Leveraging these resources can shorten study time and improve pass odds.
