New Security+ Exam SY0-501 Date Announced

superbeast

Hello All,

Saw this on Darril Gibson's blog regarding update to Security+ exam. I feel a little more comfortable knowing I have until July 2018 to take SY0-401. Check the link for full details but I included an excerpt regarding the dates below.

[FONT=&quot]When the SY0-501 exam goes live, can I still take the SY0-401 exam?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A. Yes. In the past, CompTIA has had an overlap period of several months. For example, if the SY0-501 exam goes live in October 2017, you will probably be able to still take the SY0-401 exam at least until New Year’s Eve in 2017.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Update: The SY0-501 exam will launch in October 2017. You will be able to still take the SY0-401 exam until July 2018.[/FONT]

I doubt they're going to let the old test linger around for 10 months after 501 comes out. It's possible but I wouldn't wait that long...

I know this is an old thread but thought I'd let everyone know because I inquired with Comptia, the 401 exam expires July 31st.
