Good Luck!
this one: Amazon.com: CompTIA Security+ Exam Cram (2nd Edition): Diane Barrett, Kirk Hausman, Martin Weiss: Books
any of these books worth it? which one is the best?
Everyone has different study habits.
I usually read the books (several of them), and do all the question / answer sections. I'm taking my time because between now and when I want to take my exam, I have work projects, vacation, cover other co-worker's vacations, help plan my wedding, prep for a marathon, as well as prep for my MCSE path.
I try not to concentrate on the questions from the books and web sites because I find that I'm might be memorizing the questions through repitition (sp?) and not actually learning the material.
so http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Security-Deluxe-Study-Guide/dp/0470372966 is prob the best book to read?
I think the Sybex book is a must for your Sec+ studies. I used Sybex and CBTNuggets and was successful. You should also find yourself searching the web for additional information on the subjects you study.
Sec+ is very broad in scope, and no 2 sources will cover every possibility, but 2 will give a solid foundation.
Good luck!
Go for syngress...beside sybex. It is too exhaustive and enough if you master it besides exam cram. Use all the website forum and Google to understand the stuff like cryptography, etc.
