CBT Nuggets vs Prof Messer

I am in a 6 day bootcamp and I am in day 2. I have currently learned the Compliance part (which I hate because I am bad with all those plans and stuff) and I am now in the cryptography (interesting but having a hard time remembering all the block sizes, etc). I am getting overwhelmed and my brain is hurting.

I was thinking about watching some videos to help reinforce what I have learned while also using the Gibson book. Do you prefer CBT Nuggets with Keith or should I go with Professor Messer?

I am also in the process of getting Measure Up which I heard is currently the best practice test material.

I also have the Cybex book and the 800+ practice question book and CD. Are those good?

Thank you.

I used Darril Gibsons AIO book. and CBT nuggets Sec+ video. also printout the objectives of Security+ and just go through them. if you can explain every thing in there. you are ready for the exam.

I've had good experience with cbt nuggets.

Professor Messer helped me pass my Sec+. All I used was the sybex book and watched all the videos and used the slides for review before the test.

Do any of you guys recommend any good practice tests? I use Measure up but it only takes 2-3 times and I start seeing duplicates that I have memorized.

Here are some

Practice test: CompTIA Security+ Practice Test Questions
Go Certify: http://www.gocertify.com/quizzes/comptia/security-plus-sy0301.html

those are the two I know of.

I used CBT and Darril Gibson book to pass Sec+ in about 3 weeks. However, Prof Messor is an excellent resource and the only reason I use CBT is because it is free with job.

The questions at gocertify.com are way different then what I have been studying in the Darril Gibson book. I have read the book and dont remember some of the questions at all? Do I just have bad reading comprehension and need to re-read it?

You should use more then one resource to study. Gibsons book is going to be different then go certify, and different then professor messer. I used go certify to do practice tests....

I agree completely, I am using the Gibson book, GCGA website, Prof Messor videos, the Comptia Security + Exam Prep app from learnZapp and lots O practice tests online and they all have close to the same material. I just have not come across questions like the ones on gocertify.com and it threw me for a loop.
Thank you for the answer,
