Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet (one of) your newest Security+ certified pro...ME!

Hi, I'm erpadmin. You may remember me from conversations such as when I discussed my PeopleSoft experience or when I discussed that I was also A+ and Network+ certified. Today, I'm gonna now say that I PASSED!! I not only passed, I slayed that m***********r!!

870 out of 900. In all seriousness, all I used the last two days was Darril Gibson's book and the Transcenders. The Transcenders were ridiculously much harder than this exam. I'm going to say this about Darril Gibson's book...if you went through every chapter, took the practice exams at the end of the chapters, and then did the practice exam at the end of the book and did well on all of them, then take the exam. I have never said that about any study material, but this one definitely earns that. I did get one port question. (And I will not violate the NDA to tell you which one...but if you study the minimum amount of ports AND know what they are, you will be ok!).

This book, years of experience, self-confidence in my abilities and the encouragement of this forum was the reason I passed in 50 minutes. If you are using Darril Gibson's book for Security+, believe me, for the 2008 objectives, that's all you need. I didn't even finish my Labsim....just had his resource on my trusted Kindle. I will personally e-mail him later on today to thank him....him and Transcenders for making the tests harder than they needed to be. (Not a bad idea....forces you to really know your stuff!)

Congratulations! (From someone who hasn't passed it yet )

Thank you and thanks to all.

I only hold my own personal preference to me.

I look forward to your own pass and believe me, I have no doubt you will pass.

YES!!! Another Troy McClure fan! LMAO!!

May Phil Hartman RIP....everytime I watch Futurama, whenever Zap Branigan is on, this is the character I think of. Apparently, that's who Billy West (who voices him, Fry, the Professor, etc) was going for and said as much.

Phil Hartman was also supposed to voice Zap prior to his death. That was definitely the inspiration to that first paragraph...

Sure [I love you], like I love Fresca.

Just ignorant, Billy... If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!

Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee... yes we finally made a monkey out of me.

Got my wallet card and certificate from my PO Box today. Might have been there yesterday.....not a terrible wait.

I do like my wallet card! My other ones are getting terribly faded...wonder if I can get new ones with my old certification date. I don't care if I have to pay....just like how it looks and feels now.
