📣 I Failed! But I’m not giving up! 🙌
I set myself a challenge to pass the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner Exam in 30 days. Yesterday marked the end of my challenge and, despite my best efforts, I fell short of my goal. I managed to solve 3 out of 5 mystery lab challenges on PortSwigger and ran out of time on the practice exam.
So, what’s next?
I’ve decided to extend my challenge for several reasons:
👉 The probability of passing the certification is low (based on my practice test and mystery lab results) 📉
👉 I can’t afford to buy another exam voucher, so I don’t want to waste it 💸
👉 I still need to cover the remaining vulnerabilities (Race Conditions, DOM-based vulnerabilities, Insecure deserialization, HTTP request smuggling, and NoSQL injection) 🕵️♂️
👉 I want to complete all the practitioner labs without looking at the solutions 🧠
👉 I aim to finish the practice exam in less than 2 hours (practice makes perfect!) ⏱️
Lesson Learned:
This challenge has been a great learning experience. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about web app vulnerabilities and feel ready to start bug bounty hunting and participate in CTF challenges. I’ve learned that sometimes, we need more time to achieve our goals, and that’s okay.
Ideal Preparation Time:
Based on my experience, I’d say the ideal preparation time for the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner exam is between 2 to 3 months. This might vary if you have extensive experience in bug bounty hunting and web application hacking.
When I will take the exam:
As for me, I plan to take the exam in January 2024. This gives me about 40 days to review, study, and practice enough to pass the certification.
So, my advice to you is that the ideal time to prepare and pass the BSCP is 2 to 3 months. Remember, practice more than you read or study because, without enough practice, you won’t learn.
This challenge isn’t over for me, and I’ll continue to share my progress. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It’s given me so much motivation and energy.

🚀 Day 3️⃣0️⃣ of my Burp Suite Certified Practitioner challenge is here! 🎉
Today, I’ll be reviewing all the materials that I’ve studied so far and revisiting my notes. 📚 During this challenge, I’ve covered 20 popular vulnerabilities on PortSwigger and also completed the Web Fundamentals Path on TryHackMe. 💻🔍
Tomorrow, I’ll be attempting at least 5 Mystery lab challenges on PortSwigger and will also take the Practice Exam. 🧪📝 Based on these results, I’ll decide whether to take the certification exam or extend the challenge. 🤔
I’m hopeful for some good results on the mystery lab and practice exam. 🌟 Your support and positive vibes have been a great source of motivation throughout this journey. 💬🙏
