in Security+
passed with 817, but thought I was going to fail........some of the auth and pki questions were outside of what I recalled studying

I guess the study materials I used were enough though!

I used Daril Gibson's book plus the links below I got searching this site
ExamCompass | CompTIA Practice Exams
https://www.cybrary.it/course/comptia-security-plus/
SY0-401 Security+ Practice Test Questions | Get Certified Get Ahead

the performance based questions came first and most were easy match up types......one was overly time consuming because of all the applets on the screen blocking my view making it difficult to see the info and enter acl's at the same time. One completely baffled me and I marked it and came back with about 6 minutes left.

My take away is you need to budget about an hour for the multiple choice questions not to be rushed.
