Passed the CASP

Well today I took the CASP and I passed...

To be honest I feel this is a worth while test and will gain credability in the future. I work at the division level for the military (enterprise in civilian) and I thought the scenarios were all high level scenarios that you would have to truly have some experience under your belt to really answer. They are tricky in a way that you would need to understand who the responsibility of risk really falls on. A lot of times we self impose the burden of risk but when its all said and done few of us will have to answer to a courtroom about the risks taken by our company.

All in all I was suprised with the difficulty of this test. Having completed the CompTIA triad and seeing a familiarity amongst the three I honestly expected similar of the CASP. I received eight performance based questions and was only expecting four or five.

None the less glad thats over with and on to CISSP in a couple of months......

    Congrats.

    what are performance based questions? In virtual Linux or Windows system complete tasks?
  • da_vatoda_vato Member Posts: 445
    Performance based questions are just a simulation of some task; like fix a firewall or review a topology and look over the logs to identify where an attack is coming from and identify how to stop attack.

    Congratulations!!!
    So, the Sybex book is all you need???
  • da_vatoda_vato Member Posts: 445
    Thanks, I don't know that I would say its all you need.... Sigsoldier and both agreed that the book was poorly written. I would say that you could use that in conjunction with another but definitely not sybex alone.
