SSCP Exam Outline Focus areas and types of Questions

happyend98

Hi All,

Hoping to get some input on taking the SSCP. I have midstream decided to forgo taking the CompTia Sec+ in favor of the ISC(2) SSCP to be more in line hopefully with an advancement in my current job. I say this meaning I currently work in Security Administration ala Client Access Management. But my desire is to do threat monitoring, detection, analysis etc. Through various posts I have decided that although the Sec+ and SSCP are considered in line with each other the SSCP technically is a little more specific.
What I would like some input on is what are the best study materials and books for SSCP and how is the test broken down. Is it mostly multiple choice and/or sims etc.
Any and all advice and help in getting ready for the SSCP is greatly appreciated. Hope as well it's not a mistake to hopskip the Sec+????

Thanks,
