in Security+
I seriously think that I went to one of the worst testing sites ever. I will not make that mistake again! It was unprofessional, noisy, and the computer decided to exit via. shutdown in the middle of my test icon_rolleyes.gif It was at local college in Greenville, SC directly below where I work. I thought that was going to be a plus.

I can't complain to much since I passed with an 815 which still shocks me icon_eek.gif The test is hard in comparison to the Network+ that I took earlier this year. I found that the wording on at least my version of the test was vague in the wording, and sometimes there would seem to be more than one correct answer to a problem.

I would recommend anyone studying for this test read at least two good books on the Security+, and buy the ExamCram for it.

I used the following study material:
  • ExamCram CompTIA Security+ Second Edition
  • Security+ (SYO-201) Mega Guide
  • Security+ (SYO-101) from Syngress
  • TechExams.net

    The QUE book is the 101 version but still more than relevant for the test. The style of writing is great for an ADD personality like myself, because it constantly repeats the information as you go through it.

    Hopefully mine will be a little faster. I am also waiting on the results from the Server+ beta that I did in July. Do you get a response either way?

    I went to my CompTIA account and it said that the paperwork had been shipped. I'd give them a quick call about your other one.

    Congrats on passing. I agree on the wording. They need to do a better job. Sometimes it can be a little tricky. Anyway, great job.
