in Security+
Hello everyone,
I am very new to this site. I joined about a couple weeks ago after I stumbled upon the site researching for Security+ information. I was very impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful everyone were. This forum was very encouraging and motivated me to take the exam sooner rather than waiting until next month as I had originally planned. With that being said, I passed the Security+ exam on yesterday!!! I used the following study materials along with this forum, lots of Internet researching on things that weren't clear to me, and study/practice questions:
Books:
-Blogs that gave great examples about the simulation part of the exam (I had six on the exam with a total of 75 questions):
-Professor Messer's vids
If anyone was curious to know, I scored an 830/900.
I hope this will be helpful for someone. If I left anything out, I will add it later.

Books:
- CompTIA Security+ Deluxe Study Guide 2nd Edition by Emmett Dulaney (the book is very detailed, a little dated but the content is still relevant)
- Security+ (SY0-301) LearnSmart Exam Manual (not as detailed, more like a glossary with some examples, for crammers, still found it useful)
-Blogs that gave great examples about the simulation part of the exam (I had six on the exam with a total of 75 questions):
- Security+ Performance Based Questions
- CompTIA Performance Based Testing
- Security+ WAP Performance Based Questions
- Security+ Forensic Performance Based Question
- Identify Social Engineering Attacks
- Security+ Match Device Controls
- Identify Smurf Attacks in the Security+ Exam
-Professor Messer's vids
If anyone was curious to know, I scored an 830/900.
I hope this will be helpful for someone. If I left anything out, I will add it later.
