Description
CompTIA PenTest+ Practice Exams
CompTIA PenTest+ is the most comprehensive exam covering all penetration testing stages. Unlike other penetration testing exams that only cover a portion of stages with essay questions and hands-on, CompTIA PenTest+ uses both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are addressed. CompTIA PenTest+ is the only exam on the market covering hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning and analysis, as well as planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses. CompTIA PenTest+ requires a candidate to demonstrate the most relevant pen testing skills for the cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, Internet of Things (IoT) and traditional on-premises.
The Cyberkraft CompTIA PenTest+ Practice Exams Include:
- Practice exams for the CompTIA PenTest+
- Access to discounted exam vouchers
- Full access to the Cyberkraft Training Community
- Free training resources

The boot camp were top notch
Dennis and his team are amazing and will give you the confidence to pass your exam. The resources that were provided as well as the boot camp were top notch. Highly recommend.
Thanks, CyberKraft!
I personally went through the online live training recently and I found the instructor to be very helpful and was an excellent at guiding me on how I should study and prepare. The course materials were also very helpful. The voucher was included in the program that I enrolled in and after I met my requirements I was able to pass my Security+ with plenty of preparation. Thanks, CyberKraft!
I plan on going through them when I plan to achieve CySA and CISSP hopefully.
Thank you, Dennis and all the kind folks, at Cyberkraft!!
Full disclosure- this is my first review I ever posted. Let that sink in a bit. I am writing this one because of how great Dennis and Cyberkraft Training are. I’ve been to other trainings, and I’ve got to say, trust Dennis – he is the real deal. Sometimes I think he cares more about your success than you do! Our class had a small problem, and he immediately jumped in to solve the issue. The additional training that he and his team developed is an excellent supplement to the official curriculum.
I’m proud to say that I passed Sec+ on my first try. I was so prepared that I went in thinking I was going to fight Mike Tyson, but the exam was more like taking on a 5th grader!
Some advice – Don’t psych yourself out. It’s not as hard as you might convince yourself. Simply know the items CompTIA published about the exam. I fell for studying lots of extra stuff (but what the heck I will need it someday!).
Thank you, Dennis and all the kind folks, at Cyberkraft!!
Couldn't have done it without him and his team!
Dennis was crucial in helping me obtaining my Security + certification. YouTube videos and walkthrough of the problems were amazing. Couldn’t have done it without him and his team!
CyberKraft is more than just a training platform
CyberKraft is more than just a training platform.
I’ve tried other courses in the past that presented material in a textbook-style format, often with questions that didn’t fully connect to the content. When I started with CyberKraft, I first took the self-paced course. While I appreciated the video lessons, I realized that my learning style required a more interactive approach for me to truly excel, so I decided to enroll in the instructor-led class.
At first, I found the idea of a live class a bit intimidating, since I had never taken one before. However, Bill was an excellent instructor as he is approachable, relatable, and dedicated to making sure we understood the material. If anyone had questions, we took the time to discuss them until everything was clear.
Thanks to this well-structured and engaging learning experience, I passed my exam on the first attempt, something I never expected! I’ll definitely turn to CyberKraft for future certifications.
