Just passed the CCNA but I guessed a lot and don't feel confident that I know the material. I feel like they gave me the cert. I felt the same way about my SEC+ and CISSP. I wish I got instant feedback on the questions before going to the next one.

Keep up your continuous learning. You probably know more than you think, but also remember this when you get to be an interviewer so you can tailor your questions to understand their knowledge and skill.

Thanks. It's my imposter syndrome getting the best of me.

The way to get over imposter syndrome is to get hands on.

With the CCNA - build a router using an old computer and some NICS - you can do this in the cloud and at home).

With your Security+ ....have you built a home network, attacked it, monitored it, responded it?

Have you done any of the stuff above with a different OS (i.e if you are a windows person - have you secured a linux box)???

Yes, I get a lot of hands-on. I have a Kali box I practice on. This is why I remain skeptical
Network Fundamentals - 65%
Network Access - 35%
IP Connectivity - 32%
IP Services - 40%
Security Fundamentals - 80%
