Passed today on my first try!
Just want to say THANK YOU to Darril, your book really helped out and I will definitely be purchasing your SSCP book later!

I got an 825, after about 30 days of study using solely Darril's book and some free practice questions I found here and there. My test was particularly annoying, too. I was weak in Encryption so I spent a lot of the last few days really focusing on that. However my exam ended up being really heavy on EAP and LEAP which I honestly didn't know much about. The wording of the questions was also a little more difficult than I thought it would be. Some of them just don't give you enough information and I ended up having to analyze the question itself to try and find out what exactly they mean.
Anyways, all in all, it was a good experience and I feel myself really enjoying this area of study.
