Passed CASP with Learning Tree

mscdex

I took the Learning Tree Class for the CASP 2 weeks ago. I have to say that this was the only resource that I needed to pass the exam and I would not have passed if otherwise.

One Tip for future test takers: Know how to configure a cisco router...

Which did you feel was harder out of SSCP and CASP?

I felt that the SSCP was MUCH easier. The SSCP has the same information as Security+ but the testing questions were harder. SSCP gives you 4 correct answers and you have to pick the best one. CASP was crazy difficult. Each question is a paragraph long and filled with unless information to tick you. Kind of like a high school math word problem. The answers are just as long and this made me nervous since it each question was taking way to long for me to answer. I used Darril's SSCP book which helped a lot for my SSCP since it was so well written. I tried reading the Sybex CASP book but it was so boring. Learning Tree helped by going into detail about technologies that I would not have thought would be in this exam. One of which was SANs. The CASP loves SANs. I logged into CompTIA's site today and found that my A+, Network+ and Security+ were still in my transcript but they also added CE versions of each with expiration dates. I guess I now have 7 certs with CompTIA now. I also just transferred my transcript to Microsoft so it will be interesting how they display all of it on my MCP transcript.

Congratulations!


CASP is really aimed at people working in enterprise-level IT system and network security. People who have only worked in small IT shops will be inexperienced in working with a number of the topics CASP covers.
