Taking SY0-201, need help

Treadstone71

Hi to all.
I am a new one here. I found this forum very helpful. I am particularly grateful to the following post http://www.techexams.net/forums/security/862-technotes-security.html

I need help from the members who have passed sy0-201 in 2011. I scheduled the exam 24th August. Not 301 This is what I need:
1. Do Sybex.CompTIA Security+ Study Guide, 4th Edition is enough to pass exam? Its a 2011. and the book is from 2009.
2. At the beginning I took from the book a practical test. I had exactly 75 percent correct answers. I plan to read the book 2 times. Do you think it would be enough?
3. Do get more time people outside the English-speaking area?
4. I also have a book for 301 (Sybex). Do you think that I should read it or not?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards

Darril Gibson's book is the only book youll need for 201. Im sure others will say the same shortly.

Thank you. What about other things?

MrAgent

If you get Darril's book and are able to pass the questions in the book, you will be able to pass the test. Its the best book for 201.

I dont know about time for non english. Maybe you can take the exam in your native language?

Thanks. There is no exam on Serbian language

I'm almost positive non-native English speakers get 30 extra minutes to take the exam.

Thanks.
So, everyone think that the Sybex book for 2008 objectives is garbage?

Dr IT

Well you can go ahead wit the 301 version ( but i am not sure if the current sybex book is good enough ) as for the 201 version Darills book is the best resource but i used the Syngress and the Sybex book which helped me pass the exam

Good luck to you
