Passed Security +

greatbam22

So I am kind of new to this site but just thought I would share my experience. I passed my Security +. I re certified because I have talked with a few recruiters recently and they stated that for a bunch of different government jobs like you to have it.

I had it before back in 2011 and let it lapse because I didn't really think I would need it. So I felt like I could pass it relatively quickly but I reviewed quite a bunch before taking it though which I think was a really good idea.

I bought Darrell Gibson test review for $30 from his website. It was a decent test prep but it seemed like the test questions were more specific. His practical questions were really good though.

I went through the security + course on CBT nuggets in less than a week as well and thought it was a good course.

I got a 780 so passed it by a few extra. I honestly wasn't sure how I would do throughout the test because most of the questions on the test seems far more detailed than on the practice test. I took my time though through the test. I used up 99.99% of the allotted time to finish (I was a bit nervous though I think mostly because I didn't want to screw up and have to spend another $270 on another test!)

Anyhow If you are looking for a quick and cheap solution to passing security plus.

1. Free 1 week trial with CBT nuggets.
2. Darrell Gibson practice test questions.

When I first went though one of the test banks of questions I slogged it through continuously through the 200+ questions. That was pretty arduous!

The next time I did it I would just do 10 minute increments and see how many I could knock out in 10 minutes and then give myself a break. I did this quite a few times. It was definitely a better method.

I think it helped me get through the test in a quick enough period of time.
