Looking for some input on if anyone has used the CompTia Certmaster training for the Security + certification. I am purchasing my vouchers soon and thinking of trying this.
I also am using CBT Nuggets and some of the highly recommended books as well.
Any comments are greatly appreciated!!!

It's pretty good. Helped me figure out where my weak points are (still have trouble wrapping my head around some of the PKI stuff.) If it wasn't for the free retake that came with it I am not sure if I would have gotten it. Reading Gibson's book was more helpful than the CertMaster was. -
happyend98 Member Posts: 29 ■□□□□□□□□□-thanks for the info. That's exactly why I am going to be trying it is for the re-take. I have Gibsons book and Keith Barkers CBT Nuggets for the Security+. I had heard there is a fair amount of RAID stuff on the test. Is that true?

Also check out Prof. Messer's videos and $10 study guide, as well as the CompTia exam objectives. Above all, make sure you truly understand all the concepts! That's important on all IT exams, but for some reason this one in particular is a real stickler about it!

Jamesweb Member Posts: 144I used the certmaster when I bought the bundle with two vouchers. Honestly like others have said, not sure if I would have used it if it didn't come with the bundle. It seemed to help somewhat to solidify some things but Darril Gibson's book and premium content and app for android is what really helped along with 2 other books I used.Currently working on CCENT/CCNA and CAPM
