Passed Security + (JUST!)
I scraped a Pass from my first Security + attempt today. I thought I'd post this as I valued other posts by people who have taken the exam already.
I used Professor Messer videos (and course notes) / Darril Gibson online (not the book) & Comptia Certmaster. I spent a hell of a lot of time studying for this. I was greeted with the simulations which immediately threw me off course - very long and as I noticed the time ticking down I decided to pass on them and carry on with the rest of the q's and review them afterwards. I feel as though I studied and dug deep into area's that were not even touched upon in the exam. Comptia Certmaster was helpful, but I don't feel that it particularly helped me as it was very....Generic and drawn out. Pro Messor's notes were a little basic but I found the videos great.
Gibson's online content is a must IMO. Goodluck to everyone else taking this exam.

Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.
I felt the same way, it was very generic. I studied so much little details and I didn't get to show it off!
