This is the 3rd CompTIA exam for me since November. I studied the Sybex book (just the chapter summaries and the section right after that about key points to know). I think I spent about a total of 12 hours studying off and on over the course of 3 weeks. I dont do project mgmt, but the company I work for does a lot of it, so most of the terms and processes were familiar to me.
The toughest part for me was staying focused throughout the exam. lol. Alot of the questions arent that hard if you know the terms and concepts. There were quite a few questions where I had to select 2 or 3 answers. And there were some that I just had no idea!
I didnt blow it out of the water, but a pass is a pass I suppose. The testing center was packed. The lady said everyone was trying to take CompTIA exams before Dec. 31 so they can get the lifetime certs. This will be the last CompTIA for me! Now time to start thinking about Microsoft, VMware, and ITIL.
All in all, for me, this was not as hard as Net+ or Sec+ but the material is totally different and I had to memorize a lot of processes.
