Thank god I passed yesterday!

Passed yesterday with an 805. I used Darrils book and ProProf practice exams. The only reason I chose Darrils book is because of the great reviews on this website, (and by the way, everyone was right, Darrils book is great for Security+). I felt comfortable throughout the test, but like all the other CompTIA certification exams i have taken, I find quite a few questions where I can eliminate half the answers and get stuck between two, does anyone else notice this as well? Anyway, thanks everyone for the great advice and other information!

Congrats. How long did you study? I plan to take my test in a few weeks.

I studied for about a month. I read Darrils book twice, cover to cover. I also printed out the objectives of the exam on CompTIA's website, and went through each one to see what I knew and what I didnt, in addition to ProProf practice exams. In the last 2 months I have acquired all of my certs, A+, Security+, and Network+. I dunno what to take next though because im new to IT and have no professional experience. Im sure I would have to start at Help Desk or something, but I think I would like to become an administrator, so maybe MCSA will be next, then Cisco. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!
