Sec+ in two days
I have been using the Darril Gibson SY01-301 book to study for the last few months. I took the exam at the end of the book and missed 26 questions, mainly over encryption. I studied all weekend and took it again and only missed 13. I have been taking the practice exams on the techexam site here and have done horrible. I…

Shout Out to Darril Gibson, passed Security + today.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank the author of 'Security + Get Certified, Get Ahead'. I actually enjoyed reading this book. It is put together well, and you encourage thinking through and understanding the topic at hand. As such, I took the test within 2 weeks of receiving it in the mail. I was able to score…

Took the Security+ today...
I've been in and out of the IT industry for the last 10 years. Mostly technical support related/level jobs. I was recently offered a Linux Administrator position working for HP in Fort Knox, KY and had to take and pass the Security+ before my start date. I was provided with study materials from the company that hired me…

Tip: Hundreds of practice questions for $1
A+ Exam Printable - Exam printables for A+, Network+, Security+, MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, and more I just purchased the printable for Security+ (SYO-301) and there are hundreds of questions with detailed explanations. I haven't gone through them, but for a buck it's worth a try.

Have you passed S+ using only Professor Messer?
Have you passed S+ using only Professor Messer? A lot of the material should be review for me, so I'm hoping not to spend $60 on a book.

taking the test in a few days....
"The Book" has basically been my only source. The problem I come across is that I am very confident with Darril's practice questions but I am not with any other practice questions. They seem totally different. Should I worry about this?

Just passed Security+
Hi all, I passed with a score of 793/900. I would say the questions were pretty straight forward. Most of the questions are in one short sentence. I used CompTIA Security+ Deluxe Study Guide: Exam SY0-301 Emmett Dulaney and Cram Exam practice 3rd edition (quite of number of questions are similar from here). Found a few…

Yet another pass!
Was confident heading into the exam, despite the fact that my testing center relocated without telling me (moved to a new office in the same building - still scary)(i didn't actually check beforehand, but the location on the email was the same as always)... Mid way through the exam, I started to get worried. Things started…

Another pass.
I just got back from taking the Sec+ exam and passed. It was my first comptia exam and can't say the wording was my favorite but most wrong answers were obvious to eliminate. I used Darril Gibson's book as well as his ios app to help prepare for the exam. Both were great materials and cover all you will need to know to…

Just came back from Sec+
Passed with an 843/900. Feels kinda awesome to get that out of the way. Didn't expect the Sec+ material to be so easy. Or maybe it was just Darril Gibson's great book that made it all seem so easy, I can't tell. Took 4 weeks to prepare for the exam. However, I feel as if I could have cut that in half actually and still got…

VLANs & Subnets
It seems like VLANs and subnets are often used together in a 1-to-1 relationship. What about the following scenarios?* A single subnet that is segmented with VLANs.

What path to take
I got my Network+ in August, and passed my Security+ cert today. Right now i'm not sure which path to take next. I'm not sure if I want to go the Cisco route, or the San's route. What are some of the common paths individuals take after getting these some what entry level certs?

Passed
Got an 853. Not as high as I wanted, but a pass is a pass. Had about 40 minutes left. Used: Labsim and Darril Gibson's book. Also skimmed 3-4 ProfessorMesser vids. Took about 4-5 weeks of on and off studying. Huh, looks like I have the CompTIA tri-force now... Also, apparently every security administrator's name is Amy.

Encryption between mail servers

Sec+ passed, comptia certs complete
The test was much easier then I expected, I guess an 800 isn't too bad. I used Darril Gibson's book and an exam cram book I probably didn't need but didn't hurt me either. I'm Just glad I'm done with the comptia certifications and I can move on to the CCNA. I don't have any insight other than get Darril's book, read and…

Security+ Continuing Education
I took Sec+ 201 back in 2010 and earned my "Lifetime" certification. Well, so much for that, the DOD wants us to earn our 50 CEUs.

Passed today with an 848. Read through Darril's book and did the tests. Also since I was doing this for WGU I used Labsim as well. Mostly just used it for the practice tests though.

Another pass here.
Just got back from the testing centre... Got 872! Very happy.

Some questions were not in either resource but could…

Question about Sec+ Labsim
Hi, I'm in Security CTV1 (WGU) right now and their main resource is Labsim.

Planning on taking sec+ exam early Nov
Since it does help to obligate myself to a set date this is worth posting. I think one month is more than enough and I'm already 3 chapters into to Daril's book. A month should be more than a enough time. I also reserve the right the take it sooner if I want to.
-
For those that took sec+ pre-2011...
I received my security+ certification back in 2010. I know that my cert never expires, so is there any reason to do the CE program for this? I really don't like the idea of paying a fee and doing CE work for an "entry-level" certification. Thanks!

Passed Security+ first try
First post here in Tech Exams, I just passed my Security + Saturday with a 854/900. Prepared for the exam by reading the Darril Gibson book and watching the Professor Messer videos.

Earlier I said I was going to wait till December to take the Sec+.. I didn't wait.
I passed with a 854/900! Reading Gibsons book was basically review of my CIS 140 class I had last Fall so I didn't have to study all that much. I still felt that I was failing the test 20 questions in and that is such a terrible feeling. Oh, and that survey they have at the end is just a horrible thing to do! I just wanted…

I'm scheduling the Sec+ for December!
I'm giving myself plenty of time. If I feel comfortable with the material I might take it at a earlier date. I have Darril Gibson book, Sec+ 301 and I thought about using CBT or TS.

Account logon log vs. Security Log
These logs, along with the Account login audit audit, are all mentioned in DG's book. My question is are they all the same thing or are there differences? Is the the account logon simply one of the things that is logged into the security log? They seemed very similar to me if not the same thing. Thanx in advance.

kindle practice exam
Hi, Gonna be taking this one shortly. Read DG's book and its very good. Find it a bit cumbersome to use the questions in each chapter/back and read about a kindle version of the questions?

CACs and PAVs
I read in the security+ book about CACs and PIVs. I know what they are but something has me feeling awkward about what's in the book.

Single sign on and enhanced security
In Darril's book, he states that SSO enhances security because it allows users to only have to remember a single set of credentials and, therefore, not write down a bunch of them on post-its. By looking at it in a different way however, I could see that it would do the exact opposite and decrease security. Using SSO would…
