Retrieval on every screen
Each lesson screen ends in a question you answer before moving on, and every lesson ends with active recall. Pulling an idea out of memory is what fixes it there.
CompTIA Security+ SY0-801 and SY0-701
Learn Security+ by answering, not watching.
A complete course built from 145 short interactive lessons, 2,020 original exercises with feedback aimed at the mistake you actually made, and spaced repetition that tells you what to review and when. No video to sit through.
Covers both current exams: the new SY0-801 and SY0-701. Not sure which to book? Take SY0-801. Every plan includes both; switch inside the course any time.
Step through a TLS 1.3 handshake
Four messages, then everything is encrypted. Press Next step to send them.
A sign on the fence reads ‘CCTV in operation’. What type of control is the sign?
How sure?
Which rule decides this packet?

Each answer sets its next review, just before you’d forget it. A confident mistake comes back first.

Step 1 of 4. The browser offers its cipher suites and sends its ephemeral public key, in the clear.
Step 2 of 4. The server picks a suite and sends its own key share. Both sides derive handshake keys at once.
Step 3 of 4. Already encrypted: the server’s certificate, a signature over the handshake, and Finished.
Step 4 of 4. The browser verifies the certificate and confirms. The shared secret never crossed the wire.
Right. The sign works on the intruder’s decision; the camera detects.
Not quite. The sign only warns; the camera behind it is what detects.
Not quite. A sign stops nobody; it discourages. A lock would prevent.
Right. No rule above allows it, so the last one denies it.
Not quite. That rule lets the Internet reach the web server, not the database.
Not quite. That rule lets the web server, not the Internet, reach the database.
A correct guess still counts as not knowing: this comes back tomorrow.
Leaning and right: next review in a few days.
Sure and right: next review in about a week, then longer each time.
You said you were guessing, so this is a gap, not a misconception. It comes back tomorrow.
Leaning and wrong: it comes back tomorrow, and the mix-up is noted.
Sure and wrong is the most important kind of mistake. This goes to the top of tomorrow’s review.
Why answering beats watching
Video makes a topic feel familiar. Familiarity is not recall, and the exam tests recall. Everything here is built around producing an answer.
Feedback aimed at the mistake
Every wrong option has its own explanation, written for the misconception that leads people to choose it. 563 misconceptions are tracked by name, and the ones that keep recurring are flagged on your dashboard.
Reviews scheduled for forgetting
FSRS spaced repetition predicts when each item is about to slip and brings it back just before. You rate your confidence before every answer, so a confident mistake outranks a lucky guess.
Diagrams you operate
17 manipulable diagrams: step through a TLS handshake, revoke a certificate in a PKI chain, move a server between network zones. You don’t watch the system; you drive it.
What’s inside
Everything a complete preparation needs, for both exams, in one place and one price. The numbers are SY0-801’s, counted from the course content at build time; the SY0-701 course has 103 lessons, 1,642 exercises and 10 practice exams, and 1,514 of the exercises count in both.
- Interactive lessons
- 145 lessons
- Three to seven minutes each, built around a diagram, with a micro-check every screen or two and recall at the end. Keyboard-driven, if you like.
- Exercise engine
- 2,020 exercises in 18 formats
- Multiple choice, classification, ordering, drag to match, confused pairs, spot the flaw, attacker versus defender, rapid fire and free-text “why” challenges. Confidence ratings on every answer.
- Performance-based simulators
- 76 hands-on tasks
- Investigate an incident across the systems on a network diagram, triage a scan report row by row, build or fix firewall ACLs, analyse logs, place devices on a network and configure wireless security: the hands-on formats the real exam opens with. How PBQs work
- Practice exams
- 10 full-length exams
- 90 questions in 90 minutes under exam conditions, each exam’s domains in its official weights, performance-based questions first, then a scaled-score estimate, a per-domain breakdown and a full review of every question. How the practice exams work
- Missions and domain quizzes
- 15 branching incidents
- Ransomware at a hospital, a wire-fraud email, an MFA-fatigue attack: you make the calls and are scored on your decisions and your reasoning. Domain quizzes are timed and give no feedback until the end.
- Readiness and progress
- Per objective, per exam
- A readiness range and probability of passing that says “insufficient data” until it has earned an opinion. Mastery per objective, calibration, trends and your recurring misconceptions, each with a fix. Each exam has its own, from the same answers.
- Beyond the exam
- 16 case studies, 10 command walkthroughs, 8 role guides
- What actually happened at Equifax, SolarWinds and Log4Shell; what nmap, openssl and dig do in practice; what a SOC analyst, pentester or GRC analyst does all day.
- Acronym trainer
- 353 acronyms
- Both official acronym lists, SY0-801’s 106 and SY0-701’s 321, as spaced-repetition drills, with the ones people mix up shown side by side.
- Anywhere
- Any browser, synced
- Nothing to install. Works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone, and your progress follows you across devices.
Every SY0-801 objective, weighted like the exam

Questions
Which exam version does the course cover?
Both. CompTIA Security+ SY0-801 (Security+ V8), which CompTIA expects to launch on or around 17 November 2026, and SY0-701 (V7), the exam you can sit today; CompTIA lists 11 June 2027 as the retirement date for the English SY0-701 exam. Every plan includes both courses and you switch between them inside the app; progress carries over wherever the material is shared. If you’re unsure, choose SY0-801. Choose SY0-701 if your exam is already booked before 11 June 2027. Dates can change, so check comptia.org before you book.
Is this an official CompTIA course?
No. Rabbit Courses is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by CompTIA. Every question is original and written to CompTIA’s published SY0-801 and SY0-701 objectives; none are taken from the real exam.
How is this different from a video course?
You never sit through a lecture. Each lesson is a short interactive sequence: a diagram you operate, a micro-check every screen or two, and recall at the end. Spaced repetition then brings each idea back just before you would forget it. Watching feels productive; answering is what changes what you remember.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once for 3 or 12 months of access and nothing renews by itself. If you want more time, buy again whenever you like and the remaining time is added on.
What do I need to install?
Nothing. The course runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone, and your progress syncs across your devices: sign in on another one and carry on where you left off.
How much time should I plan for?
Sessions of 15 to 30 minutes work well. Each time you open the app, the home screen picks one next best action, weighted by exam weight, your knowledge gaps and what you’re about to forget, so short sessions add up.
Will I pass?
No course can promise that, and we don’t. What we do is show an honest readiness estimate based on your actual answers: a scaled-score range and a probability of passing that says “insufficient data” until it has enough evidence. Full-length practice exams under exam conditions sharpen it further.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days of purchase, on request. Email support@rabbitcourses.com. Access ends when the refund is issued. The details are in the refund policy.
Can I share my account?
No. Access is personal and tied to your email. Progress, scheduling and the readiness estimate only make sense for one learner.
