in Security+
Hello TechExams folks,

Just wanted to take this time to also write that I have also passed my Security+ exam!

I will admit that when I first took the exam, I failed it with a score of 677. I took a month to study for it again, and passed with a score of 765.

Many of the community here were spot on with the advice - don't use brain ****, actually take time to understand the material, and having a plan to conquer the exam. That was just a few of the advice. To each his own. You will pass the exam if you make time to study and work hard.

Initially, I did buy Darril Gibson's study guide to study, but I did not fully use it to its potential. After failing, I invested in the phone app and the online materials, which helped me greatly.

Good luck to all those taking the Security+

Resources Used:

1. Darril Gibson's SY0-401 Resources (Kindle textbook, Online Material, Education App)
2. Pluralsight
3. Transcender

    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.

    Before they were bought by Kaplan - Transcender gives you a bunch of exam questions and flashcards. I took a test everyday and reviewed the flashcards as much as I could.

    Thanks again all for the support.
