in Security+
So, I have been studying for the Security+ Exam for about two and a half weeks now... I have read Darril Dibson from cover to covered and have taken the quizzes in the book along with the additional study guide... I have taken a few different Security+ practice exams, and I still feel like I am not ready... I was suppose to take the Security+ exam today but I rescheduled to next Thursday giving me another week to study... The pressure is on because I have until Oct 10th to earn my cert as this was a contingency as a new hirer... My wife told me that I am trying to study way to much all at one time and I needed to take at least a day off to allow my brain to process everything, but me being me I refused to stop studying....I have until next Thursday so does anyone have any suggestions on how I should approach this Security+ exam this coming week?

Welcome to the forums.
A few things come to mind. First, I'd suggest that your wife has a lot of insight into you and you will probably benefit from taking her advice. Second, make sure you read up on the new performance based questions. A Google search on "Security+ performance based questions" should help. Last, when doing practice test questions, people sometimes only try to get them all correct but you can benefit a lot more if you try to identify why the correct answers are correct and why the incorrect answers are incorrect. This way no matter how CompTIA words the questions, you'll be able to answer them correctly. Good practice test questions have explanations with the answers that should help.
Good luck. -
