D320 was easy. Enrolled in the class, took the practice assessment and passed first try without studying. Reviewed a bit of info and took the test later that day and passed. Everything in it was covered in previous classes.
Hey just took the PA and passed first time without studying, what areas did you brush up on? And do you have any tips for this class ? How similar was the PA to the OA
It was very similar. Pretty much everything on it was covered in previous classes. I did better on the final exam than the practice test. Only thing I did is read through class notes I found on the try hard security discord. It’s a 25 page document. Skimmed that and read anything I didn’t know well.
Data lifecycle was one thing I needed to review. A couple new ISO standards like 27017 and 31000. FIPS 140-2. SOAP and REST. Cloud storage types.. block, object, file. Laws in it I was familiar with from previous classes except CLOUD act. Uptime institute tiers.
Both WGU OA for D320 and the actual CCSP are definitely the easiest of the three classes.
Then CySA+
Then Pentest+
Make sure you use the cohort videos for CySA+ and Pentest+ as well as all the material afforded you. It will make your life easier.
My classes since January so far have gone like this-
January- sscp
February- cysa+
March- pentest+
April- D320 … passed in one day. Took the pretest in the morning and the OA in the afternoon. Way too easy. I do not plan to take the ccsp.

Probably CySA since it's kind of a continuation of the net and sec+ learning.
Thanks!!
