764!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jkstech

took the test today and passed with a 764

it was a fair test, some questions were worded funny but it wasn't too bad, some things I haden't seen, but for the most part is was alot of common sense.

materials used:

(are you ready)

instructor led course with thompson courseware
testout labsim
syngress
mike myers passport passport
self test software
cert blaster
tech exams
cramsession
exam cram free test
other free test (trancender, preplogic, etc.)
google, info.com, and other search engines
random security sites for further research on specific topics
energy drinks (red bull, full throttle,180)
other random articles and such

as you can see, I consumed alot of material and still hit the pass on the mark, there is a lot of info in this exam, but it is not impossible.....

thanks everyone, i'm really proud of it, not the best score out there, but hey, I did it all through hard work and no BRAINDUMPS!!!!!

so i'm proud of it just like all my others, it just feels so much better knowing how hard you worked to learn/prepare and have it pay off

Congratulations, welcome to the Security+ club. (And don't forget to harass CompTIA about the Security+ t-shirts they give out from time to time, to people who pass the exam.)

Congrats,

I am scheduled for tomorrow but I am not sure I am ready. I will make a final decision later today. I have until 6 to change my mind and reschedule for another week. I am fairly comfortable with the material but I feel like I need to know more.

jkstech

thanks everyone

only you know if you are ready, it is not hard, but not a walk in the park, it's a fair test and if you've study what is required you'll pass, just cover any and everything you can, what you don't feel fully comfortable with, look it up on the net and print out any info, read it before the tests

that's what I did with security topoligies and brushed up on various attacks and cryptography types/algorithms

I appreciate the encouragement. I just keep getting thrown by some of the farout questions tha come up from time to time on the preplogic practice test. To me it seems out of the blue to know that port 5742 is used by winCrash and which type of fire supression to use. I do know the standard ports. I do think I need to spend more time on wireless. I seem to get my Ws mixed up.
