Security+
Hi Guys,
I'm planning to take Security+ exam. I'm bit confused what exam to take(401 or 501). My friends suggested taking 501. But can't find much study materials and practice questions for it. So I have 2nd thoughts to take the 401.
Which exam would be better to take? If so what will be the resource materials I should use?
Please suggest.
P.S: I am a beginner.

401 retirement date is July 2018. If you plan on taking the exam soon, I'd suggest going for 401 since there are plenty of proven study resources available.Certs: CISSP, CySA+, Security+, Network+ and others | 2019 Goals: Cloud Sec/Scripting/Linux -

Do the 401. It won't matter which version of the exam you pass, you will still get the same Security+CE certification out of it. Like you mentioned, there are way more resources available for the 401. Personally, I found the Darril Gibson book to be invaluable. -
