Passed Sec+

CodeRed101

First and foremost I wanted to thank all of those who have provided any information via comments or links on this site regarding Sec+. Extremely relieved I stumbled upon this resource. As for my study materialshows for this exam:

-Darril Gibsons book. (Easy to read and understand and a hint of humor.)
-Self made flash cards. (Primarily port numbers, acronyms and a short description)
-Examcompass practice exams.

Studied for 3 weeks, took 2 to read the textbook. (Which is a personal best and a major surprise in itself as I'm a terrible reader)

I did end up buying the test and retake voucher. Mainly because this was my first certification exam and first exposure to CompTia's testing methods.

As for the exam, I wasn't impressed with the format or the wording. Felt alittle clumsy to me. My flashcards helped with remembIngram protocol acronyms and meaning. Book was of course helpful as there wasn't anything forign to me

Overall I didn't achieve the score I wanted to, so there is room for improvement. However, it didn't start off well when the test proctor had to call tech support to get the test going. One of those "well this isn't my day" type moments.

Certainly relieved but motivated to continue my push as well as figuring out what I need improvement on.

Thank you again everyone that has contributed here!
