Best Materials for CASP+ (CAS-003)

Jay15

Hi all,

I am planning to take the CAS-003 before 2020 and would like your recommendations for any materials that I can use to prepare for the exam.
I have seen two books on amazon that I can potentially use:

- The study guide from Sybex. I have used Sybex for my Security+, CySA+ and Pentest+ and they are usually pretty good;

- Another cert guide from Robin Abernarthy and Troy McMillan.

I am aware of the official study guide from comptia.org and it costs $199 which I find a bit excessive. I also plan to learn by using their CertMaster lab which is going to cost me $159!

I look forward to your advises.

Thanks,
Jamal

I've watched a lot of different video series for CASP+ and I would recommend Michael Shannon's and Jason Dions, however, the best explanation for Cryptography I would recommend Cybrary.
