Bitting the bullet

in Security+
I have been reading Darill's book for about 3 weeks, just finished one run and going through it a second time. Also watched the CBT's for it.

I just scheduled the test for Sunday at 10am on a spur of the moment deal. Figured I would go ahead and try to knock it out. I did the same thing on the Network+ and scored an 870 so might as well :)

    TY, I am hoping this testing center is legit offering testing on a Sunday. If it is this will be a big help to those of us in Phoenix. :)

    GL man you should be able to get it. I'm actually heading out today to see if I can find Darril's book at one of 2 or 3 used book stores. Also have a TON of books to trade in, I'm hoping, if they do have it, i'll make even trade at least.

    Just got back, passed with an 845.You were right the test was easier then I expected. The new testing center I tried was great and they are open every Saturday and Sunday for both Pearson Vue and Prometric testing. Next up is redoing my A+ and my Microsoft Win 7 tests over the next 8 weeks. icon_cheers.gif

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