SSCP Pass

in SSCP
Hello all.
Just got home after passing the SSCP today. I'm glad its over, and that i passed of course lol. I just got into the security field a year and a half ago as an Analyst. Before that i was doing desktop support for 9 years. The study material i used was "SSCP Systems Security Certified Practitioner All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition 2nd Edition" By Darril Gibson. As well as videos found online. As for the book i used i really felt it was only a foundation book and nothing more. I felt very angry after for the first 15 to 20 questions which were not at all covered in this book. I would recommend using another book, or the one that (ISC)2 recommends. The work experience i have had so far really paid off for a few questions i got hit with.
Next up for me is to better enhance my linux knowledge, which is on noob status. I was really excited to start with linux mint, but will now have to put that on hold due to recent events

I've said that Darrils book is out of date, good nonetheless, but the exam bore no resemblance to the way the questions were asked in the exam.
I've also stated it is perhaps the hardest "basic" exam for Infosec, except for GSEC maybe
Kudos, I have a great deal of respect for this designation!

*****You can fail a test a bunch of times but what matters is that if you fail to give up or not*****
As Tongy said, definitely do not say that you have earned the SSCP certification (or any certification, for that matter) until you have certificate in hand.
I was similar to you, but didn't want to jeopardise something I'd worked hard to achieve taken from me on a technicality!
I say again, kudos. Very little material out there for this one, far less than CISSP!
