Just wanted to say thanks to everybody in the forum - great support!! I passed earlier this week and the materials I used were:
1) Sybex Security+ Review Guide SY0-301 by James M. Steward - I used it as my main text and it did lack some detail. Then again, it was meant to be as a supplement to a main text.
2) Professor Messer's Videos
3) MeasureUp Test Engine - I think this helped me the most since it got me in the right frame of mind i.e. applying the knowledge rather than just memorising definitions.
4) The TechExams forum - thanks once again!
