Hi everyone,
I thought I'd register and say hello rather than lurking on the forum all the time.
I've been studying for the Security+ exam for the last six weeks and I'm scheduled to take the exam during this month. I've pretty much been cramming in whatever I can after days at work and have been focusing primarily on the exam objectives as well as the great advice on these forums!
I have to admit that I'm a little worried regarding the difficulty of the exam after reading some of the posts on this forum but glad at the same time, as I was in need of that reality check! I've identified my weak points and will continue to chuck all the time I have towards revision and giving myself the best chance at the exam.
So nice to meet you all, and I'll see you around! Good luck to anyone taking their test soon
Steph

Just make sure you have a good well rounded knowledge of the Security+ objectives. It's a mile long, and an inch deep. I really recommend Darril's book as a main text, and the ExamCram as a text to narrow down any weaknesses.

Magic Ravioli Member Posts: 9 ■□□□□□□□□□Thanks very much for the suggestions veritas_libertas, I'll check them out. I've heard great things about Darril's book and I'm sure it would help a hell of a lot!
Edit: Just bought the book - hopefully it will come in time for the exam!
