Some questions were blatantly obvious while others were a bit far left field. I would definitely say it was a bit more challenging than A+ and about on par with Net+ for me.Sudy Material; Mike Meyers' Certification Passport - CompTIA Security+ 2nd Edition Que ExamCram - CompTIA Security+ 2nd Edition MeasureUp SY0-201 CD Practice Tests (included with Que ExamCram Book) TechExams.net Security+ Notes PrepLogic Security+ Audiobook .mp3'sMike Meyers' book made concepts easy to understand but lacked a little on detail and functionality of the concepts.ExamCram picked up and went into much more detail of the concepts. I am very glad I read Mike Meyers' book first to get an understanding and THEN ExamCram to dig deep. Tips? I would definitely take the time to know sync and async encryptions inside and out, as well as how they all function. Which use public keys, private keys. How each does or does not provide integrity, non-repudiation and how each auth's each other (mutual, sigs, ect.) Have a good understanding of the OSI model and where IPsec falls into it as well as how IPsec functions. I did not encounter any questions dealing with any form of best use of subnetting. I did encounter a few questions on virtualization that I dont remember covering in the security+ books. Kinda pulled those answers out of arse to be honest. Cheers!
