Passed May 6, 2013

Good day, ladies and gents. Passed today with 805 score. Performance questions were fun to work through, but definitely tougher. I wished we could get answers at the end as I was really curious which parts of them I got right or wrong. If I am not mistaken my first 6-8 were performance based. Lost count actually.

My study materials:
- Darril's book (kindle version)
- Android Security+ App
- Study notes from this thread: http://www.techexams.net/forums/security/87831-security-study-notes.html

Next up:
- Network+ (I know, out of order)
- SSCP
- OSCP (hopefully)

Thank you Darril for the well written book. It came handy for several assurance projects I worked on, and then I realized I knew so much material from it that I might as well just sit for the exam.

I have heard that CompTIA has added performance based questions in Security+ certification exam, is it true?

Yes, that is correct. There were 7 simulation questions, then 3 drag and drop. The rest 70 were multiple choice. Darril's book will help for sim questions, but also I think for me it was from manually configuring WAN/LAN/DHCP/DNS/Port Forwarding/WAP/QoS on personal routers, firewalls, building/tinkering with the proxy server when I used to live with room mates. You just have to pay attention and breathe
