Passed with 880 -- study materials

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the info here. I studied the Syngress book, took any free practice tests I could find (free-test, the three here, 100 from preplogic), and read through the technotes here. I also bought the rest of the questions at preplogic and studied what those questions were asking about. I then went over the objectives from CompTIA and made sure I knew about each technology and read up more on anything I didn't remember.

I had a little bit of background with some of the topics from my CCNA/NP/VP, but learned a lot getting this certification.

Good score. Congratulations!

With the advanced certs that I see you have, was there a specific reason why you pursued this certification? I'm also going after it, but I'm curious as to what your reasons were. Thanks.

I did not have anything specifically in Security and found that the S+ was a bit more respected than what I had heard about A+, Net+, etc. My employer was funding it also, so I figured it would be good to have under my belt.
