2 chapters to go....

Mike-Mike

I have completed 8 chapters of Darril's book, and I usually miss one or two tops on the end of chapter tests...

I am not reading the Sybex book, but I do have their cds and I have been using their end of chapter tests... granted they have 9 chapters as opposed to Darril's ten, and I'm sure they don't go in the same order...

but the point is... I score lower on the Sybex tests, not much, but still... I seem to find a lot of questions not covered by Darril's book... questions that may have been covered by A+ or Net+ but the point is...

I know this board loooooooooooves Darril's book, but I am really glad I have these Sybex cds...

I like Darril's book, I really love the font size and page layouts.... and I feel confident I will pass Security+ will little to no problems... but... at the risk of being ostracized by this board... part of me feels like if I had the time, I would have been better off reading the Sybex book cover to cover like I have done with A+ and Net+..


again... i LIKE darril's book... but I feel good about having Sybex as an addition... and I have a .pdf from PrepLogic... but I haven't looked at it yet

No one will ostracize you, but at the same time, no need to reinvent the wheel either. If 100% of folks have posted that Darril's book was more than sufficient to pass this exam, there is a reason for that. You can use the Sybex as supplemental material (I did), but you should just read and work through Darril's book.

That's going to get you Security+ certified. If it didn't, you would be the first to say so.
