My Exam Experience

I took the Security+ exam today.

I got an 897/900. I felt that many (20% +) of the exam questions were poorly written. I got the impression that the exam was written up by semi-competent IT consultants in India working for a pittance.

I didn't really study for the exam. I reviewed the objectives on CompTIA's website. If the objectives had a topic I hadn't seen before, I read the Wikipedia article. I use Linux at home and work, so I had to refresh my knowledge of Microsoft Windows system administration.

Great score, congratz. Many people don't find it as easy unfortunately, but I agree the wording of some questions is a bit dodgy. Seems like you're a bit harsh on India though, they have some serious IT talent in that country and wages in the IT sector are quite good I believe.
