CEHv8 (312-50) Advice

Grip

I am planning on taking the CEH Exam the middle of next month. Currently I have read through the Michael Gregg CEH Cert Guide book and completed all of the videos within Skillport (EC-Council CEH 312-50 Learning). I've been looking through forums and some are recommending the CEH Certified Ethical Hacker All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition, Book by Matt Walker instead of the Michael Gregg Book. Also, a few readers are recommending doing a knowledge check from Boson Software. Am I prepared enough using the Gregg Book, Skillport Videos and memorizing / knowing the Ports and NMap switches, am I overthinking this, or am I not prepared enough? Thoughts / Suggestions, please ... as I'd like to pass the first time around. Thanks.

Check the "Passed CEH" threads. Be alert as some who have taken the test recently reported some changes may have been introduced already: http://www.techexams.net/forums/ec-council-ceh-chfi/114580-word-caution-about-ceh-v8-v9.html

I would wait a few until the v9 books/study material come about. It seems as if v9 questions are implemented in the v8 exam now instead of Nov. 1st.

I just saw that.. was reading the link he suggested... here's the problem. My company is paying for the EC-Council Boot camp in Nov.. 2 weekends at 10+ hr day, with the exam on the last day. It's a 'free' boot, with the only catch being that I need to be certified. I've been reading the material for a few months now and since I'm already registered -there's no rescheduling... so I am trying to make sure I'm prepped for the test as much as possible....

Well I am sure they will be teaching you the v9 topics, if not I would mention v9 material.
