Which Security+ exam shall I do?

The Master

Hi All!
I am looking to do my Security+ due to the fact my A+ is expiring in December.
I see there is the 301 and 401, which one would you recommend me doing? I am looking to have this for the next 3 years.
Is there more resources available for the 301? Which one in your opinion you think is pretty flexible on passing.

Thanks

Get Gibson's 301 book. go through every chapter. do a couple of practice exams. you should be good to go.

I'd also suggest the 301 if you can do it before the exam's retirement date. Professor messer is currently rolling out an update reflecting the '401 changes.

well you better hurry, you only have a couple months left for 301.

I'm new here. So you can take either the new or old version of the Security+ exam?

>>> Ok. I just read messages again. I just bought Gibson's 301 book on Amazon.

Thanks!
Joe

yes you can do both now, but 301 is retired end of year.
