in SSCP
Hi folks,
For anyone who has went the sec+, sscp route. Do you think 1 month is a decent time to get it sat considering the
overlap between the two exams and while its fresh in my head?

Depends on your own ability to "cool down" after an exam. The tougher, more difficult exams require me to take up to several months before starting to study for the next "big challenge". Going from Security+ to SSCP is only a small step further in difficulty so review up and take it when your feeling fresh enough to do so.

Optionsreubs6 Member Posts: 43 ■■□□□□□□□□I'm hoping so. I bought Gibsons AIO for the SSCP about a month ago, and I haven't had a chance to read past the opening chapter. I took my Sec+ in November, so once I finish this quarter in school in a couple weeks I'm going to study hard for a solid month for SSCP and refresh some Sec+ stuff, then take the exam probably April 11.Plans for 2017

Optionsbinarysoul Member Posts: 993Depends whether you will study full time or just part time. Regardless, use lots of CISSP resources as there's not much books for SSCP, except Darril, and that boring OG (haaa, chapter on Operations is best sleeping pill).
