Comptia Security+ Exam Preparation

in Security+
Hello,
I have started preparing for the Comptia security+ Exam from CBT Nuggets Security+ Videos.
I want to ask that has anybody tried preparing for the exam from CBT Nuggets for security+?
How effective they are is it enough to pass the exam if I only study from the CBTs, or do I need to study
from some other resources as well.?
Thanks
Frank

I'll definitely look into the material by darril Gibson.
I have around 4 years of experience of working as a windows system admin.
I want to know that is gibson's book and the practice questions along with CBT nuggets will be sufficient enough
to pass the Security+ exam.
Thanks
Frank.

These were quite helpful in building test-taking ability and confidence.

Frank.
Can anyone give me an idea of how realistic the practice tests from examcompass are? Or any other freely available practice tests? I've gotten to the point that I can consistently get between 85-90% on every practice test I come across, but I don't know how similar to the actual exam questions they really are... That, and I know the real exam supposedly contains performance-based questions. Can anyone share their experiences of the kinds of things to expect on those?
Thanks much!
Don't stress the performance-based questions too much. I think I had five altogether (took the exam back in January, so my memory is a little fuzzy). One was really difficult, and I didn't complete it. But the other ones were probably the easiest questions on the exam. You might see drag & drop, matching, data entry.
I liked the exam compass tests, they helped me. The one thing I don't think I found preparation for was some of the performance questions. Be familiar with the look and appearance of hashes/signatures and the like. That one almost tripped me up.
