Failed- Simulator Question
First off- I failed, 650. Studied endlessly since early January. Read Daryl Gibson's book over and over. I do think it's great. Also used his exam questions, which I mastered all. Been working in IT for over 10 years. My issue is every question was nothing that I studied over and over. Comptia wording is all wrong, nothing…

Performance Based Questions - How many
Just need to know - how many PBQ's did everyone have. A+ and Net+ had about 10 each. Security + had only 2, I was expecting many more. I had access to about 30 of them, and of course the 2 that were asked were nothing like the ones I had scene. Just looking to see if there was a possible glitch. thanks in advance

Night before first Security+ attempt- need a benchmark
Hi guys, I am thinking about giving Security+ a shot tomorrow, but I want a way to "benchmark" myself to know if I am ready to pass.

What CompTIA certs renew Security+?
I got my A+, Network+ and Security+ all last year. Each subsequent certification renewed the one before it.

The only CompTIA…

Password hashes question
I'm studying for the Sec+ and I have a question about the way password hashes are used. So, the way I understand it is that your password is stored as a hash on a server and when you type in your password it's converted to a hash and compared to the hash that is stored. I know they also have rainbow tables that show what…

Passed today with 803 - what I used
First time pass. As usual, I figured I failed the test, but did pretty well considering. 70 questions, 6 of them were simulations. Some of the concepts were only covered in one of my resources, if at all. If I had to sum up the test, I would say that it focused very heavily on controls, which ones are BEST, and where and…

Darrill Gibson's site and study guide, use it. Plain and simple went from getting 20-30s on practice tests to get 90-97s using his content, and absolutely destroyed it.
