PASSED 842!!!

Well I am taking the exam on the 21st...

I have done at least a thousand probably two thousand practice questions.....

Read the tech notes, transcender, exam cram, sybex book, and a boot camp...

But I still just don't feel like I am prepared... Yet I have no idea how to get any more prepared

!!!

SO i am just going to suffer through the test and pray I get it on the first try.

You'll do great. Good luck.

Infact, no good luck. You won't NEED luck. You will do THAT awesome.

If you've mastered the material that you've read, you're ready.

I really appriciate the confidence.

the funny thing is some of this stuff I have mastered years ago. For instance I use ssh with keys for work everyday. Every website I bring up I use SSL. Shoot I even use SSL when connecting to a mysql data base in my perl code.

I work in the security industry for a living.

But some of this stuff... Like DAC, RBAC and MAC is never mentioned in my daily work. Oh well, I guess this is just the way it goes.

I will certainly post how I do when I get done with the test on Sat. If I do well its going to be a great weekend. If I don't then I will down...

Anyway thanks again everyone for the confidence.

RBAC, DAC, and MAC are a pretty quick concept to refreshen yourself on. Just look over the Technotes and then another quick look before the exam. I am sure you will do fine. I am deciding, myself, if I am ready to take the exam on the 25th.

Anyways, best wishes!

Hey thanks for the link.

I know what your saying about the concepts I mentioned. It is just a frustration for me. For instance the CCNA exam is pretty cut and dried. The stuff on that exam comes up everytime I touch a router or switch. But the security plus stuff is so darn broad. Anyway I am just complaining/venting.

THanks again for that link. I will definately check it out.

WOO HOO

I passed

842!!!

Over all most of the question were really easy, but I would say at least 15 of the questions I had to double or triple check...

The exam took me about 30 minutes....

Used:

sybex
syngress
exam cram
transender
1 week boot camp course
this web site, and all the free tests I could find...

If I could offer any advice... Study your tail off... I have 6 MCPs, and my A+, 8 years of professional experience, and 20 years of a personal love for technology... this is a tuff exam but at least i am done with it.

My wife wants an emotion:
