Passed yesterday with 797 - Overstudied??

rhodesad

I passed the Security+ exam yesterday with a 797. Made a big mistake by changing 3 of my answers at the end of the test. One question on the Kerberos port stumped me. I had not seen that in any of my study material.

I used Exam Cram, study notes here on TechExams, wikepedia, and a couple of study guides I found on google from the following search string: security+ study guide filetype:pdf

I think I may have absorbed too much detailed info instead of keeping it simple. I thought I would have scored in the high 800s.

I used the CompTia objectives 1 for 1 to ensure I studied everything.

Next is CISSP as I'm one of the only managers who doesn't have it here in my Federal Gov't job. (peer pressure).

Congrats!

I want to mention also that CompTIA does have an undisclosed amount of "Unscored" questions on their exams. These are usually questions they use to get an idea of what they might want to add or change on their exams. You never know, maybe the question(s) that stumped you were one of these type of questions.

Congrats on the pass! I also had a port related question regarding kerberos that I wouldn't have known unless I was looking over port #'s right before I left to take my test.

88? That was well covered by Transcenders.

Moral of this thread.... Know that Kerberos uses port 88 before you take the sec+ test.
