Passed SY0-301
RIP_Leroi
I took the exam last Friday and passed with 840/900. The one and only resource I used was Darril's 301 book. I also purchased his droid app for portable studying which was useful. The test was much easier than I made it out to be. I think there were 2 questions on the exam I don't remember seeing in the book (not saying they aren't in the book somewhere, but I didn't see them). I think my score would have been higher, but the test started to seem so simple that I was flying through the questions and finished the whole thing in 35 minutes. I'm guessing there were a couple questions I missed somewhere by not reading carefully enough.
I had a lot of questions on ports, encryption, wireless security, and attack types/names.

Thanks for the input. I Am trying to sign up to take the test next week. I am reviewing the 50 questions test here
and I am wondering if there are any scenarios type questions. Like installing servers, printers, etc etc?

Congrats on the pass.

Many of the questions do paint a scenario to give a context for the security question. However, most of the questions are very short with only one or two sentences.
