Starting my Security+ Preparation

michaelkahl

After finishing my CCNA I'm now focusing in on the Security+ and expecting a big challenge. Fortunately I've had a chance to go over some of the material and information from other certs I've worked on.
I'm not expecting it to be easy, and from I hear I really shouldn't. I know there is still l a lot of material this exam covers that I'm not fluent with.
I currently have the Microsoft Book (it's my text book) but I was wondering if anyone could offer me tips on goods on which resources to use while preparing.
Thanks

Here is what I am using.

Amazon.com: Mike Meyers' CompTIA Security+ Certification Passport, Second Edition (Mike Meyers' Certification Passport): T. J. Samuelle: Books

Amazon.com: Security+ Guide to Networking Security Fundamentals, Second Edition: Mark Ciampa: Books

I'm also using the Preplogic mega guide plus the 15-minute study guide. After taking some practice test, this test is a lot harder then I expected. I usually give myself 2 weeks to prepare for a test but it's going to take longer for this exam. I plan on taking the test in 2 weeks.

WOW
Thanks for the quick replies to all. I'll look over the materials discussed and see what they got. It's good to hear from people who have been there.
Thanks again!
