$59 of practice that tells you when you're ready is insurance on the $439 you're about to bet.

Mapped to every CS0-004 objective

All four domains at exam weight. Your readiness score tracks each one, so you drill weakness instead of re-studying comfort zones.

PBQ-style interactive questions — included

The CySA+ exam doesn't stop at multiple choice. Neither does this bank.

~50 PBQ-style interactive questions, built in the formats this cert actually tests:

  • Log analysis (multi-part)
  • Indicator-to-attack matching
  • Vulnerability-triage ordering
  • Statement grids

CompTIA sells its official PBQ practice separately at $149+ per exam. Here it's part of the $59 — not an add-on, not an upsell. Included.

Judge the quality yourself

A real question from the CySA+ bank. Every one of the 1,300 works like this.

CySA+ CS0-004 Domain 1 — Security Operations

A SOC manager reviews a post-incident timeline showing that a web server was compromised at 02:14, but the SIEM correlation rule did not generate an alert until 09:40, when the overnight log batch was ingested and analyzed. Which metric BEST describes the roughly seven-and-a-half-hour gap the manager is measuring?

  1. A. Mean time to detect (MTTD) Correct
  2. B. Mean time to respond/remediate (MTTR)
  3. C. Mean time to acknowledge (MTTA)
  4. D. Service-level agreement (SLA) attainment rate

Why A is correct

MTTD measures the elapsed time from when a security event actually occurs to the moment the organization's monitoring capability identifies it. The gap described, from the 02:14 compromise to the 09:40 alert, is exactly what MTTD tracks. Shrinking MTTD is a core SOC efficiency goal, often achieved through faster log ingestion cadence, better-tuned correlation rules, and continuous monitoring rather than batch-based analysis.

Why the others are incorrect

Mean time to respond/remediate would measure the time from when response work begins until the incident is contained or eradicated, which has not even started yet in this scenario. Mean time to acknowledge measures the separate, later interval between the 09:40 alert firing and an analyst picking it up, not the detection gap itself. SLA attainment rate is a broader compliance percentage measured against a target over many incidents, not a single-incident duration between compromise and detection.

CySA+ questions, answered straight

“Is this the new CS0-004 version, not the retiring CS0-003?”
This is CS0-004 — the current CySA+ version, launched June 2026 and the only one you'll be able to book after CS0-003 retires on December 22, 2026. Every question is mapped to the published CS0-004 objectives, including the new AI-in-security-operations material, with updates for the life of the version.
“I'm already studying for CS0-003 and racing the deadline. Am I on the wrong page?”
No — we still sell the CS0-003 bank, and passing CS0-003 before December 22 earns exactly the same CySA+ certification. If you can test by mid-November, finishing what you started is usually the right call. The CS0-003 bank has its own page.
“CySA+ is analysis-heavy. Can practice questions really prepare me?”
That's the point of scenario questions: you read logs, spot the indicator, pick the right response — the same reasoning the exam tests. Every explanation walks the analysis, so you learn the method, not just the fact.
“Are these dumped from the real exam?”
No — and that matters more at this level. Every question is original, written to the objectives. Your cert stays clean and your analyst instincts get built the honest way.
“How is this different from your Security+ bank?”
Security+ tests whether you know security; CySA+ tests whether you can do it — interpret output, prioritize vulnerabilities, run an incident. The questions here assume Security+-level knowledge and push into hands-on analysis.
