It wasn't the best score (76icon_cool.gif, I'm just glad I got it out of the way and part of the certified team. Cramming it in a week wasn't very smart of me but I had to get it done before I got deep into the semester.

I used Sybex Deluxe Study Guide coupled with techexams.net notes. In hindsight, I would have bought Darril's book, taken more practice tests, and would have planned things differently. Heck, I've already convinced others that work with me to purchase Darril's book from reviews on here.

Be sure to know: symmetric and asymmetric algorithms

Best of luck to anyone else attempting the exam!

    Welcome to the forums, and congratulations!

    I also regularly recommend Darril's book despite having not had the chance to read it. It constantly gets fantastic feedback.

    What's up next?

    That was what I used, though I didn't get to buy it for $9.99 like you will... :-p

    Definitely worth 3 times that amount and font size on my Kindle 2 was sweet! It was quite easy to blaze through.

    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    Thank you all and congrats LinuxRacr! As far as what is next, unsure at this point but leaning toward MCSA.
