CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) TotalSims + TotalTester Bundle

SAVE when you bundle — our BEST values!

Product Overview

Prepare for the CompTIA Security+ exam with both TotalSims and TotalTester in one bundle. The simulations build hands-on skill, and the practice questions check whether that skill has stuck.

The SY0-701 exam mixes multiple-choice questions with performance-based ones, and Security Operations alone accounts for more than a quarter of it. Therefore practicing in both formats matters. Get certified the best way, with TotalSims and TotalTester together.

• Applies to the current CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam
• TotalSims interactive simulations: 135 performance-based simulation elements across 102 lab topics and 14 chapters
• TotalTester practice tests: 850+ multiple-choice questions covering SY0-701
• License: single-user one-year license for both TotalSims and TotalTester
• Operating system requirement: Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux (iOS and Android not supported)

Certification Alignment

Both components in this bundle map to all five official CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam domains. The exam breaks down as follows.

• General Security Concepts (12%) — security controls, cryptography fundamentals, and change management
• Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations (22%) — threat actors, attack types, and mitigation techniques
• Security Architecture (18%) — secure network, cloud, and application design, plus data protection
• Security Operations (28%) — hardening, monitoring, identity management, and incident response
• Security Program Management and Oversight (20%) — governance, risk, compliance, and audits

Security Operations is the heaviest domain, and it is the hardest to learn from reading alone. So hands-on practice targets exactly where the marks are.

Career Impact

Employers hire security staff who can configure and investigate, not just define terms. Therefore lab experience carries real weight alongside the certificate.

• Prepares you for roles such as Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, and Security Engineer
• Also fits Systems Administrators and Network Administrators moving into security
• Meets the U.S. Department of Defense 8140/8570 baseline requirement for many government and defense jobs
• Serves as the standard entry point into cybersecurity, and a stepping stone toward CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this bundle, you can do the following.

• Apply risk management concepts, including assessments, controls, and data handling.
• Configure identity and access management, including authentication and account controls.
• Use the tools of the trade to investigate systems and network traffic.
• Harden individual systems, wireless networks, and the basic LAN.
• Secure virtual, cloud, dedicated, and mobile environments.
• Apply governance practices and work through incident response procedures.
• Answer both multiple-choice and performance-based questions under exam conditions.

Prerequisites

There is no prerequisite certification for Security+. CompTIA recommends Network+ and roughly two years of IT administration experience with a security focus. Neither is a formal requirement.

Neither component teaches from scratch, so this bundle works best alongside a full course such as the Total Seminars Security+ video training, or a study guide. Each simulation does open with a short guided walkthrough before it challenges you to apply the skill. You need a Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux computer, because iOS and Android are not supported.

TotalSims Features

TotalSims for CompTIA Security+ prepares you for CompTIA’s performance-based questions through four learning tools.

• Show! — operating system and application training demonstrations
• Click! — interactive graphical exercises
• Type! — interactive command-line exercises
• Challenge! — interactive configuration and identification exercises that mimic performance-based exam questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this bundle?

You get both Security+ products: TotalSims, with 135 simulation elements across 102 lab topics and 14 chapters, and TotalTester, with 850+ multiple-choice questions. Both cover the SY0-701 exam and live in the Total Seminars Training Hub.

Why buy them together?

The SY0-701 exam mixes multiple-choice questions with performance-based ones. TotalTester rehearses the first format and TotalSims rehearses the second, so together they cover how you will actually be tested.

How long do I have access?

You have one year of access to both products from the date of purchase.

What devices can I use?

Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux (iOS and Android not supported). So you need a laptop or desktop rather than a phone or tablet.

Is this aligned to the latest CompTIA Security+ exam version?

Yes. Both components align to the current SY0-701 objectives and cover all five official domains.

How do the simulations help with performance-based questions?

Challenge! exercises mimic the format directly. Rather than recalling an answer, you configure or identify something in a simulated environment, just as the exam requires.

Do I also need a video course or book?

Not necessarily. Each simulation opens with a guided demonstration, so you can learn as you go. However, most students pair this bundle with a full course or study guide for first-time coverage.

Can I use this for classroom or multi-user training?

Single-user licenses cover individual use only. Therefore, they are not valid for classroom instruction. For volume licensing, call 877-687-2768 for discounted multi-user pricing.

What happens after I purchase?

You’ll receive an order confirmation email immediately. A second email then arrives with your Total Seminars Training Hub login. Most customers get access within minutes. If nothing arrives within 30 minutes, check your spam folder or contact support@totalsem.com.
