Previously, I worked in development, but this year I switched to security and chose SPLK-2003. The entire study process took me two months, with about 1.5 hours of study per day. The course explained SOAR automation principles very thoroughly—especially event triggers and asynchronous execution, which I had no understanding of before. Now I can write small playbooks. The practice questions were very close to the exam topics, particularly debugging logic and exception handling, which helped me reinforce the concepts. Compared with the scattered resources on other forums, the study plan here was much more systematic, so I didn’t get lost. During the exam, I came across a few scenario-based questions, but since I had practiced similar ones before, I was able to quickly identify the answers. My advice for future learners is not to just memorize concepts—writing scripts multiple times makes a big difference.
