Live Exam vs Tech Exams Practice Questions
Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen! I have been lurking here for a long while. I just finished Darril's book with a fair amount of confidence, and currently starting on Professor Messer training.

Recertification Requirements?
Hey everyone! I was wondering if someone could point me toward CompTIA's recertification requirements? I know they changed the certs from a lifetime certification to a 3-year one, but that's about it.

Passed CCNA:R&S - Security+ worth it?
Hi all. I recently passed my CCNA: R&S exam. At this point, is it worth it to get the Security+? Would that be kind of going backwards down the slope of certs? As an employer, would you see more stock in something like CCNA: Security, or a Security+? What're your thoughts?

Passed Security+.
Passed with a 785 today. I felt there were a few genuinely weird questions which required an iterative process of reducing shitty choices down to the answer that was least-shittiest (vice choosing the best).

Took my Security+ on Saturday and knocked it out of the park!!!!

Passed Security+, today! 845/900. All hail Darril Gibson!
Since my last attempt with Security+, I have been reading Darril Gibson's book 'security plus get certified ahead'. My first attempt was a 695/900 with only 5, 8 hour classes in Security+. Read the book 3 times and guest what?! Today I passed with a 845/900. Thats a change of 150 pts. What a difference! It is the end all…
