Security+ Practice Exam

All,
I am getting ready to start studying for the Security+. What is a good practice exam to use? I have classroom books, so I have the printed materials covered.

Thanks

Look here under "Practice Exams".

You might also want to review the technotes. In my experience, books received in classroom training aren't alway the best.

Thanks. Has anyone tried the Prepogic practice exam for SY0-101? Thoughts?

I used MeasureUp and ExamCram practice tests.
ExamCram had over 700 questions and did a decent job showing me where I was weak and needed more study.

Was that a book or CD?

ExamCram is a book that also has a CD.

I would highly recommend Sybex.

Yes, if you're looking for a good text, Sybex is the way to go.

ExamCram's practice test book includes a CD which can install the same database of questions on your computer. It makes it much easier than constantly flipping through the pages between the questions and answers. You can also take practice tests by topic. So if you are weak in one area, you can focus just on it and not a collection of everything.
Use as many resources as possible. Pass is a 764. Warning...some of the questions are worded oddly.

Same here. It's been a couple of years but I remembers I like the explanations and references to online resources a lot.
