CySA+ tests whether you can pick the right tool for a task and interpret what it shows. You do not need to master every product, but you do need to know what each category does, what data it works on and where its limits are. Many scenario questions describe an investigation step and ask which tool fits, so think of each tool in terms of the question it answers.
