Passed on Saturday

Passed Security+ this weekend with a 841. Test was pretty straight forward and no surprises accept a couple questions on IPSec I had no clue about. To prepare I used Sybex, Exam Cram, Measureups, and Transcenders.

CCNA is next on the list. Really hoping I can get it done before I have to take the 802 exam. I convinced my boss to use the funds budgeted for my training this year to buy a cisco lab so that should be a great help.

As far as the security+ exam I don't have any magic bullets. My strategy was to use practice exams to pinpoint areas I needed to work on and then used the books. Also any question I was clueless on I would make a flash card out of it until I had a stack of cards. Then I went over them until I knew all the answers. At least one of them turned out to be on the exam. Good luck to all who are working on this one!

How did you find the Exam Cram? I have got EC2 and have gone through them once and was wondering how they compared to the real exam in terms of difficulty.

I think it really depends on the topic. If you just want a review of DAC, MAC, and RBAC EC2 works fine. For other topics like PKI and IPSec it doesn't have the depth you will need for the exam. I really didn't use it that much because I didn't really find a good way to fit it in with my study plan. The Sybex book, practice exams, and flash cards are mostly what I used.
