Just Passed Security+

Just passed the Sec+ exam this morning, and it was definitely nerve-wracking......

Just wanted to let people know I used Darril Gibson's Get Certified Get Ahead kindle book, as well as his flashcard and practice exams kindle app. I also went through the entire Udemy Security+ Course by Infinite Skills.

I feel even if I didn't have the formal education and work experience that I have, these resources would of got me through the test, they are very informative and straight to the point. This was my first comptia exam and I scored an 857/900, the hardest part was definitely the simulation, but per advice I saw on these forums skip them and do the multiple choice first, I had around 50 mins left to do the simulations which was more than enough.

I have been a System admin for around 4 years and have a BS in NetSec and about I'm about 8 weeks out from my Master's in Information Assurance. Feel like I can definitely get ahead in the job market now, let the job search begin!

Maybe the CEH, I really want to get into PenTesting, the courses throughout my BS and MS were hands down my favorite. I want to start my next step soon, but want to see what sort of opportunities are open to me now with this Sec+
