Planning to take the Security+ ...

Hello,

I recently passed my Network+ exam, and I'm now planning to take the Security+. I'm a bit worried about the higher score that's required ...

I am using the uCertify simulation exam as my main study tool. Has anyone used these before? I also used uCertify as my main study tool for the Network+.

I was thinking about purchasing the "audio exam" from TKing. Has anyone used this?

Does anyone know how many questions you can miss and still pass?

I wouldnt even THINK of getting the "audio exam"...

It's absolute SH*T, not to mention its a braindump which is unacceptable, especially on this site.

The Security+ exam is tough so use a good source like Exam Cram, Techexams.net study guides, and Syngress

Good luck with the exam

The questions are not all equally weighted. However, to give you an idea, there are 100 questions and 800 points (900-100). The passing score is right at 85%. So you can miss approximately 15 questions as a rule of thumb. Remember that this is not 100% accurate. Different questions have more weight than others. Study and prepare well and it won't matter too much.

Thanks for the input! I'll definately take your advice and study hard with the right materials. I also have a book called "Principles of Computer Security: Security+ and Beyond" that I will be using to prepare for the exam. Do you know where I can find discounted vouchers?

if you are looking for audio study materials, I used one from Cramsession.com (the people who bring you exam cram) for the Network+. It really helped me. I just memorized the dialog on the cd's. Great for remembering things like port numbers. I'm working on Security+ right now and am using the cd's again in combination with syngress and this site.
