Just Passed My 7AM Appointment

zedron

So, being the procrastinator I am I scheduled the test Wednesday afternoon to take it this morning because that was the only available option. Plus to make it even better, instead of going to my normal testing center which is 15 minutes away I had to go to the only one within 50 miles that had an availability which was a little over an hour away. Nevertheless I woke up at 5AM to get ready to head out to a 7AM appt time.

Passed with a 878.

Only material i used was the SYBEX CompTIA Security+ Study Guide by Emmett Dulaney and a brief overview of some CBT-Nugget videos.

The things I feel that were not covered much in the material I had based upon the missed questions in my objectives were are related to risk assement/mitigation and crypto.

Heh, almost exactly my story, except you scored 3 points higher than me, took it today instead of yesterday, and scheduled it for 7 AM instead of 2:30 PM. But, yeah, me too, the only place that was available was about an hour away and that was pretty much the only time they had open. Congratulations!

Even then, we still have a whole lot of day left.....it wouldn't surprise me to see some evening test takers come back and report the win!

Yeah, true, but you also must consider a lot of centers may not be open for full hours on New Year's Eve.

Agreed. The test center I went to did extended hours for today and yesterday to accommodate the flood of people trying to get in and get the lifetime cert. Their normal operating hours are M-F 9-5 but they changed them for today and yesterday to 7-9. I am glad they did that because they were the only ones with availability. All of the other test centers were not even open today because they are all located inside educational facilities and being winter break are closed.

Took mine at 6PM today and was out at 7:15PM with a passing score! I did have to drive about 75 miles to the test center as it was the only one open today. I do like this test center though, I've always passed exams there
