Security plus Sims Need Help

I took Security plus today and got a 663. i got 3 sims wrong. One sim i had 11 subsets and had no time. The other was logical controls which i new off the top of my head but they added 4 more 1 AV and an extra ACL. Any help would be great.

No offense, but it sounds like you got more than just the sims wrong. I know I bombed at least two of mine and still managed a 807. Not sure how much they are weighted but bombing 3 sims wouldn't represent a 663, there would have to be more to it.

What study materials did you use? Darril Gibson's books on Sec+ are gold.

If you looking to practice sims, consider David Prowse Security+ a disc accompanies the book it has lot of sims, alternatively Darril Gibsons paid online content.

I did a couple of the sims and guessed the rest and scored well - I've known people to ignore them altogether and pass comfortably. They're mainly there to rattle you!

Have you identified any weaker areas, and focussed on them?

I also passed the test today. I would advise that to manage your time. I marked2 sims for review and came back to complete them with 4 minutes left on the clock. Hindsight it was not the best strategy. I recommend that you select the best answer even though you may want to go back and review them. Do not leave them blank.
