The [Comptia Pentest+(PT0-002)](https://www.comptia.org/certifications/pentest). "For cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management."

I recommend [Jason Dions course on Udemy](https://www.udemy.com/course/pentestplus/). This course was updated in January of 2023.

* Domain 5 - Tools and Code Analysis - 16%
  * Focused on proper tools to be used based on a given use case, and look at code samples and identify the language(such as python, bash, ruby, perl, javascript, powershell)

Like most Comptia exams, you will have 165 min to answer **up to** 90 questions, can be 70-90. Questions are multiple choice, multiple select, and a small Performance Based Questions(Simulations) and drag and drop them in the proper order. **Usually** exams are: 3-5 Simulations, 80-85 multiple choice, but this can vary. You need 750 out of 900 points(80-85%) to pass.
