COURSE PREVIEWAbout this course
This is the second volume in the CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) mock exam series: 5 more full-length, 85-question practice exams, 425 additional senior-level questions with zero overlap against Practice Exams #1.
CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+, rebranded December 2024) is a practitioner-level, pass/fail exam for senior security architects, engineers, and operations leads. It demands applied judgment across governance, architecture, engineering, and operations — not memorized definitions. This volume was built to extend your coverage, not repeat it.
Every exam follows the official domain weighting:
Governance, Risk & Compliance — 20%
Security Architecture — 27%
Security Engineering — 31%
Security Operations — 22%
What's included in every mock exam:
85 scenario-based questions, including "Choose TWO" multi-response items
At least 10 genuine performance-based questions (PBQs) with real configs, logs, YAML, Sigma/YARA rules, and IaC snippets
A full explanation after every question, covering the correct answer and the strongest distractor
A domain coverage summary for targeted review
Fresh sub-topics not covered in Volume 1: data retention policy, M&A due diligence, NIST CSF 2.0, post-quantum key management (KMIP), secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, TAXII, MITRE Engage, CWPP, and more
Take this course on its own for a second full round of realistic CAS-005 practice, or pair it with Practice Exams #1 for 850 combined questions and complete coverage of the exam's current objectives, with no duplicate questions between the two volumes.

What you'll learn
- Continue CAS-005 exam prep with 5 additional full-length, 85-question mock exams covering entirely new scenarios.
- Reinforce Domain 1 (GRC) with fresh coverage: data retention, M&A due diligence, CSF 2.0, and cross-jurisdiction compliance.
- Extend Domain 2 (Architecture) mastery: SASE, microsegmentation, cloud-native controls, and hybrid identity design.
- Deepen Domain 3 engineering skills: post-quantum cryptography, SMPC, zero-knowledge proofs, and automation pipelines.
- Sharpen Domain 4 operations: TAXII/MITRE Engage intel sharing, CWPP, threat hunting, and root cause analysis.
- Practice a second full set of genuine PBQ-style questions with new configs, logs, and architecture scenarios.
- Stress-test your readiness with zero question overlap versus Course #1, a true second opinion on your exam readiness.
- Finish your CAS-005 preparation with 850 combined practice questions across both volumes of this series.
Before you begin
- Course #1 (Practice Exams #1) is recommended but not required, this volume covers fully independent content.
- Recommended: 5+ years of hands-on IT security experience, consistent with CompTIA's suggested background for SecurityX.
- Familiarity with core security concepts (network security, IAM, risk management) from Security+ or equivalent experience.
- Roughly 3 hours of uninterrupted time per mock exam to simulate real testing conditions.
- Optional: the official CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) exam objectives document for side-by-side cross-reference.
Who this is for
- Candidates who completed Course #1 and want a second, non-overlapping set of full-length practice exams.
- Senior security engineers and architects who want maximum question-bank coverage before exam day.
- Professionals who learn best by repetition across varied scenarios rather than re-answering the same questions.
- Security leads doing a final readiness check in the days before their scheduled CAS-005 exam appointment.
- Anyone who wants two independent practice volumes to benchmark improvement between attempts.
- IT professionals transitioning from CASP+ (CAS-004) who want deep, varied CAS-005-aligned practice.
- Self-studiers who want a second detailed explanation set to close any remaining knowledge gaps.
- Teams or study groups standardizing on a full 10-exam, 850-question CAS-005 practice series.
