3rd times a charm

after passing A+ and Network+ with no problem I set my sights on Security+. I read tcat's and preplogic, did the practice questions and failed with a 716! So, I reveiwed the practice questions and skimmed the books for two days and failed again with a 716. Two months, $675(my company paid, thank god) later and actually understanding the basics of security now I passed with an 852. Some of the comptia questions are just way to ambiguous! I also talked my company into buying exam simulators for me, preplogic, BFQ, and boson. They were all very good, but way more in depth than what is needed for the test.
I work in a unix(hp-ux) invironment as a hardware tech so I am starting to study for Linux+ and server+.
Anyways thanks for your help and I will see ya on the other forums!

whats next? Well Im currently taking the MS2152 class at a local community college and looking to take the 70-210, and 70-215 tests in the next couple weeks and applying them toward the MCSE, MSDBA, and hopefully someday CISSP! Im also working on Server+ and Linux+. I got a late start in the computer industry so Im trying to make up lost time by studying non stop!

Well, good luck to you...This board is great for all those you listed....And it is never too late to get into the field.....Well, I can think of one point it would be too late...but you won't be worring about much at that point.
