I passed yesterday morning with a 819/900.
I read Cengage's "Security + Guide to Network Security Fundamentals" required for my college class. Then proceeded to buy Darril Gibson's kindle study guide for $9.95 (thanks Darril good stuff) and used ProProfs practice exams (braindumps arrgh).
I studied for 2 days after taking my college class. The college class was 8 weeks and way to drawn out for something like security + IMO.
Sad to say the Girl next to me failed her A+ for the second time. Half way through my test she slammed her hand down and said "DAMMIT". I do feel for her

cause $280 can buy a lot of lunches.
Thanks to the community here. I found it Very Useful!!
