Took and passed SY0-301 today with a score of 886.
I used the paper and kindle versions of Darril Gibsons Sec+ study guide. I read the kindle chapters on the train and then re-read it from the book while taking notes at home. Took me about seven days of reading (but stupidly spread over a month in two halves due to $life). The book was an easy, well written read - unlike the exam questions themselves.
This is the first cert I've studied for this year and I'd like to grab one more before Christmas so time to look around at what'd be interesting next. I notice Mr Gibson has an SSCP book that I may have 'accidentally' ordered...
