Starting my SSCP studies.

in SSCP
Let's do this. I am about to order a book off of amazon, read it, and then grab another and read it as well. I just set up my binder as well to stash all my notes in. I'm not sure on a date yet as to when I will take the test, but I should have a better time frame once I crack open the book and see how it sticks to my memory. It took me about 3 weeks total, from opening the book to taking the test, to pass the security+ exam with a score of 896. I come from a background of wanting to do graphic design as my career to going into networking. My interest in security is peaked and I can't get enough of it.

    Darril's all in one guide, and I was thinking about getting the official one by ISC2 press.

    @Jasiono - good luck on the SSCP! Looks like you are taking a short detour from your WGU studies to get this cert. I am doing the same with CCNA at the moment before the current exam retires. A number of people on these forums have successfully obtained unrelated certification while pursuing their WGU studies, so go for it, man!

    I have been a week into my SSCP Studies ...can we all create a small study group or something ...that would help all of us , since we are starting about the same time frame. I am using Darril`s AIO and Second Edition ISC2 CBK.

    I have never been a part of one frankly but something like a Google hangout or Skype where we can discuss quiz questions and stuff would be helpful and we can set targets for similar chapters ...to be done within a specified time period ...I really wanna clear my SSCP ...so i have to be serious about this :)

    Hm. Is there a discussion which we can do in the style of a wiki or a forum? I can dedicate time on a daily basis, the only problem I have is the fact that my schedule always changes and I have a newborn daughter which I need to attend to at surprise moments :)

    I placed my order on Amazon for my book a week ago and it JUST got sent out. This is the second time I have to wait 2-3 weeks to get my items shipped. Super saver 2 day shipping my ass.

    The AIO is a really good book. I was also thinking about getting the official guide by ISC2 but I saw that it had bad review so I wasn't sure if I should get it. There is another book by ISC2 that I saw on Amazon and it's for test questions. I'll post it up if I can find it when I get home.
    Booya!!

    James,

    I saw that same book by ISC2 and looked at the reviews, which were terrible. I went with Darril's since I had a good experience with his security+ book.

    Just got my book and I must say that I am very surprised. The book is a lot smaller than anticipated.

    Jasiono,

    I agree with you. I look for Darril's books whenever I can because I know he provides good materials.

    I did find this book on Amazon though:

    The Official (ISC)2 SSCP Review Seminar Student Manual v10 [Paperback]
    http://www.amazon.com/Official-Review-Seminar-Student-Manual/dp/1449637345/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2DDB74G1H6RHZ&coliid=I2K5M4BV6G3JSR

    I'm not sure how helpful it is because only one person wrote a review on it.
    Booya!!

    It looks like I might start this as well, I was going to jump straight to CISSP but I will be in associate mode forever waiting to get the 4 year requirement. Makes more sense to get this done first. Jasiono, I was in the same boat, spent a week reading the darill book a year ago, then spent another week studying the darill book and reading it again and passed the sec+ last week.

    Trooper / Jasinono add my skype "BizShanes" or email topsitee at gmail (two e's). We can colloborate up until test time. Do either of you have a test date goal?

    Shane, I have to put this on hold for a while. I got enrolled into a CCNA course and need to finish it. Something I don't want to rush through.
