Taking Exam Tomorrow

Long time reader, first time poster. I finally got the time and money to study and take the Security+ exam.

I've been reviewing Gibson's study guide along with the practice questions book on Kindle. I've been scoring around the low to mid 90's. Wish me luck guys! I'll update as soon as I can tomorrow

Get Darril Gibson's Network+ and Security+ application also. The interface is similar to the Windows 8 tiles but it is great before you go into the testing center. Depending on if you are an Android of iPhone user.

Best of luck. The sims come first usually and some find them intimidating. If you find yourself spending too much time on them off the bat and becoming nervous or thrown off your game a bit, follow your gut, fill something in for the time being, and flag them to come back to later.

Also, you have a lot of time to take this exam. Re-read questions 2 maybe even 3 times if need be so you know what they are asking. Just wanted to give you those 2 quick tips that I found helpful to turn my exam experience into a calm one instead of a stressful one.

Good luck on your exam, it seems like you have prepared well. Once you know the concepts, definitions of the lingo you will be good.

I passed!!! I received a score of 869! I had 74 questions and 5 performance-based questions.

Thank you everyone for the support and advice!

I don't know what to get for my next certification. I'm deciding between Network+ or SSCP, since the CEH or GIAC certs are pretty expensive for me.

i'd suggest to go for Network+ to get ur networking background more solid & then shoot for ccna(r&s)

Congratulations!

Yeah, I'm leaning towards getting the Network+ this summer. I heard that since I don't have experience, it's good to go with the neutral vendor certs before heading into anything specific.
