A+ down, Security+ next
I got 856/823. Not too bad, but I probably overkilled with studying, I could have taken it much earlier.
I used Mike Meyer's book, Sybex book by Quentin Docter, watched Professor Messer videos and looked through Exam Cram by David L. Prowse in the local Barnes&Noble.
I was heavily tested on wireless networks in 701 and there were a bunch of questions on cmd commands in 702. But not a single ESD question in either!
I think I found an unfortunate typo in one of the questions from 701. It was about SATA transfer rate. I memorized those rates and I know the difference between MB/s and Mb/s, but apparently CompTIA forgot to capitalize that 'b' in the correct answer, because all other answers were not making any sense whatsoever.

Thanks!
I'll get Darril's book and I'm thinking about getting David L. Prowse's also:
Amazon.com: CompTIA Security+ SYO-201 Cert Guide (9780789747136): David L. Prowse: Books
It gets good reviews and I liked his Exam Cram book for A+.
One thing I learned is that it's always better to study from several sources at once.

I follow the same philosophy. When I took my Sec+, I used nuggets and Darill's but in this particular case, I found that Darill's would have been enough to do well (I do have some prior experience with some of the objectives though).
