in Security+
after taking a break from certification tests for about a year i'm back on track. my original goal was to tackle the ccna: security first but because of this renewal policy with comptia and the fact my ccna doesn't expire till summer of next year i jumped ship real quick to the security+. used a variety of sources including cbt nuggets, various sscp/cissp books, the sybex guide but i found darril gibson's book to be the most valuable in terms of focusing on the information needed for the objectives (i know darril participates in these forums so if you see this big thanks!). looking forward to a pass tomorrow morning and moving on towards ccna: security, ccda, and cwna.

    Good luck on the exam.
    Just relax and read the questions carefully and you'll do fine.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    It's not important to add reptutation points to others, but to be nice and spread good karma everywhere you go.

    There's always one.
    Don't use brain **** - just study and learn the material like everyone else.

    Anyway - Congrats on the pass!!!! drunken_smilie.gif

    Unless you like working at jobs 1 day at a time. Just learn the material.

    congrats on the pass!

    I agree, just have to take the time and learn the information. Can say that I thought the 2nd exam was bit harder, required a little more studying. Goodluck!!!

    Ash remember the keyword brain "****". It would be highly recommended to study, LEARN. It is very rewarding. Brain **** is like electronic theft of knowledge. Do you feel like really stealing or earning?icon_lol.gif
