Security+ for dummies (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!)
Security+ Guide to network security (CISCO LEARNING INST) (pretty good)
Mike myers passport security+ (not recommended)
tech exams material (recommended especially for the attacks and email sections)
I also used CBT Nuggets CD1 and CD2 which i watched once and took notes then every night i setup media player to play through the CDs while i slept
I also used the following practice exams:
Mike myers passport CD
Security+ CD
techexams practice tests
mcmcse practice tests
I basically spent a month studying 1-3 hours a day every day and it definately paid off
princess....i would personally go for the sec+4dummies/technotes combo.... those two taught me much more than i needed to know even in a very easy to understand way...i personally feel that sybex sometimes...over complicates their books...in my opinion
Surprised to hear Sec+ for Dummies?! Must say I used DOS for Dummies a few hundred years ago and found it excellent at that time. I'll pass this on to others taking Sec+
On the Sybex book, I was disappointed in it (Version 1), but paid $5 in a Book Bin so couldn't complain. ExamCram2 worked well for me.
