The CompTIA Security X certification (formerly known as the Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP) certification) is an expert-level cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers charged with leading and improving an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness.

It is essential for SecurityX candidates to know what the certification exam is like, how the questions are presented, and how they must manage their time before they take the actual test. The CompTIA SecurityX practice exam allows learners to determine those very things, so they can be confident about their level of understanding and preparedness for the real exam environment.

Who Is the CompTIA SecurityX Practice Exam For?

The CompTIA SecurityX practice test is ideal for anyone who is planning to take the SecurityX certification exam or who is responsible for the security of sensitive data in their IT roles.

How Hard is the CompTIA SecurityX Practice Test?

Most learners who plan to take the CompTIA SecurityX certification exam want to know just how difficult the test will be. As an advanced skill level credential, it’s fair to assume that the exam is challenging. However, those candidates who are well-prepared will likely find the exam easier than those who have not put as much time into their study material, practice, and preparation.

The SecurityX certification exam consists of a maximum of 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions, which must be completed within 165 minutes. There isn’t a set passing score; the exam is simply scored pass or fail.

Our test follows a similar format to the official test, with sample questions that are like those on the real exam.
