Bad luck , you are probably right about moving to microsoft certs.

That's a shame dude

I think you should finish up on the Sec+. I mean it's like running a marathon in 1st place and then turning around at the end before crossing the finish line.
Not only that but you could use the Security+ as an MCSE elective if im not mistaken.

Anywho, Good Luck whatever you do

finish the S+ , don't be a pansy!!!!
I'm with Steve-0 on this one. Get your a$$ into gear and retake it man. FWIW, I'd rather take Comptia exams all day then Microsoft.

Dont give up...lots of people stumble...that doesnt make you a failure.

I agree you could use that Sec+ as a MS elective.

Sorry to hear about that. Keep on trying and don't give up. Do you mind sharing what you saw on the exam? I am taking mine on Friday...

the way I look at it. If I learn everything there is to learn, there's no way I can fail. So just study until you're 100% confident, not until you're at the point 'ok I know a lotta stuff I could probably pass with a 600 if i need a 515 or whatever it is' not saying this is how you go about it but I know a hell of a lot of people that think this way.

Just master it, take the test, pass it! you can do it man

Go ahead and retest. While there are some ComTia tests that don't carry much weight the Security+ exam is actually increasing in recognition. It is going to be a requirement form many government jobs. It shows security knowledge for those not ready for the CISSP.

You think security+ is hard, wait until you take 70-290 & 70-291. You quit security+ when you didn't pass - you'll quit your Microsoft exams somewhere along the line.

Relax and take a break. Right now, you're probably feeling a bit humiliated - that's normal. But think back in your life to the other things you quit when they got difficult - remember when you first tried to play an instrument - lots of us, myself included, only went so far and then quit because it was too much of a challenge.

Take and pass this exam - it's bigger than a certification now - it's about who you are as a person. You need to pass this exam for you. Push yourself, and expect a day when you have a major meltdown - get in your car, get on a country road, turn up the stereo and start screaming. Once you get that out of your system, go home and hit the books again.

I promise you this - once you pass the Security+, no test will ever be that hard to take again - I am not saying that you aren't going to face more complicated material, because you will - but the demons of failure will only be exercised when you pass the Security+.

Good Luck
