in CASP+
Official Study Materials used:
-CASP CAS-002 by Robin Abernathy and Troy McMillan
Test was difficult in the sense that you really had to examine the question given and think critically. All my simulations functioned well, no issues there. I took the full amount of time to complete the exam and review all my questions.
What I did was skip questions I had no clue about and move onto questions I could answer, flagging the ones I was unsure about.
Happy to come away with this pass - was really dreading the result screen after the survey. Good luck to you all. Was planning on tackling the CEH next but I'm not keen on dropping close to $1000 on study materials for it just yet, maybe later. For now I'm going to work on my Linux+ and then some Microsoft certs. Need to have some Systems under my belt within this next year.

Congrats Man!
Heck I passed the CASP with just the book and the end of chapter quizzes and practice exams. I'm sure the CEH isn't as difficult as the CASP.
Thanks for the support and congratulations again!

Congrats man! Happy you got it! Good luck on your next endeavor.
@bryarskb1369 - Hmm, that's a good question hah. I'm not too sure, I went with what I was led to believe was the best book on the market for the CASP. I'm actually surprised I passed with just using that book alone. Have you answered the end of chapter quizzes and also used the test software that came with the book?
I always print out the course objectives and mark on it the page numbers for each objective as I read the book. Hope this helps some, good luck!
If I had to rank the difficulty of the CASP I'd say it's on par with the Security+. Where the Sec+ focuses on definitive knowledge, the CASP is more so about the practitioner side of things and how scenarios should be approached. <- Hopefully I'm not violating any NDA with that statement. If I am, a mod can edit it out.
ITF, A+, NET+, SEC+, Linux+, Server+, CySa+, LPIC-1, SUSE, Mobility+
Did you use any practice exam material other than the one that came with the book?

How do you feel about the FedVte Z0sickx? Do you find it will be beneficial or not?
