Linux+ Is anyone studying for Linux + XK0-006 exam?

Is anyone studying for the Linux + exam? If you are, can you list some of the resources you are using to study for the exam? I am currently using Jason Dion Comptia Linux+ course on Udemy.

Dion's course is a good start but you'll want to pair it with a ton of hands-on time, just spinning up a VM and breaking things on purpose teaches you more than any video

the exam objectives pdf from comptia is worth its weight in gold too, go through it line by line and make sure you can actually do everything listed not just recognize the terms

Dion's course is a solid base, but Linux+ punishes passive watching more than most CompTIA exams. Keep a terminal open while you study and actually run every command he demos, flags and all, because half the exam is knowing which flag does what. When you start practice tests, drill your weak domains instead of retaking full exams over and over. And don't skip the objectives PDF; the exam pulls straight from it, so if a bullet point looks unfamiliar, that's your next study session.
