in Security+
I have a BS in Information Systems Security but I am currently a Telecommunication Technician. I wanted to take this exam because I am trying to move over in to the IT field. So I began studying last June starting the the Gibson book, which is really good and in depth. I finally paid for the exam and the retake just in case you know. So i took the exam on Nov. 26 and I failed with a score of 560.
So I began looking around for other sites that I can add to my studying and test taking, luckily I found this site which has helped me immensely. So I began studying on the SY0-401 exam on this site and even the older exam just in case, then I started looking at the videos online at work. So I finally felt like I was ready for and scheduled the exam for two weeks away from my current date due to not wanting to take it around the holidays.

I was studying all last night and taking test after test until about 9pm. When I work up this morning I felt like I was ready to go. I went in there this morning right when they opened the doors literally. I took the test and came away with a score of 810 out of 900. I am so ecstatic right now, since this is the start of what certs I want to get and broaden what knowledge I already have.

Thank you guys for all the info and encouragement on this forum.

    Great job I'm currently in the same boat you are. I'm a telecommunication technician looking to get my foot into the IT world. I'm working on getting my associates as a network specialist plus studying for the security+

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.

    I thought he was referring to another site, I guess I read it kind of wrong, haha. I took Sec+ recently also and I now have a tendency to read into things too much...
