in Security+
The exam was easier than I thought it would be. Scored 845.I was shoooting for 850.
Mostly used CBT Nuggets and one of Mr Gibsons books...but not the one everyone on here mentions.I did take a look at the Trainsignal but did not care for the instructor.

Studying for this makes me want to get into forensics.

Next up in the CompTia line... CTT+ while I work away at CCNA3.

BTW, I do these as a "hobby" .However I have been asked if I would be interested in teaching once my CCNA is done.

    We'll know today! LOL...

    Oh and congrats to you. I myself was a hobbyist before IT chose me to be a part of it's career. When it became "work", it no longer was fun, but I do enjoy the paycheck that comes with it. :)

    Not much..I did the beta exam and only had 4 days to prep.

    I essently looked at the exam requirements and Wikipedia'd what I wanted to brush up on...I did not have time to even open the book we have our students study from(Axio Press) when they take that module.

    I have no idea what the final live exam looks like, but on the beta there were questions that I mentioned to myself "they must be joking":) I found this exam way harder than the Sec+ and actually wrote it before A+(which I did not study for).

    With beta exams, do they charge you for those? How do those work? invite only? First come first serve sign ups?

    In most cases there is no charge for the beta.I did pay $100 for the Server+ beta.

    Some beta's are invite, some are found just by doing queries at the right time and contacting the company for a voucher.
    It's usually the first 400 to sign up get in.
