Re: If you passed 401: Approx. how many hours of studying using Gibson's book?
Each person is different, and you have to find the study method that works for you, but this is my method for most CompTIA exams: I usually try to read through two to three texts on the subject matter, highlighting key concepts and ideas in one color.

Re: Considering taking the Cert
You will get a lot of opinions on how best to prepare, and most of them will be correct, even if they contradict each other. I've passed (easily) six CompTIA exams on 1st setting using a book written by Mike Meyers as my primary or ONLY source of study material.

Re: Cyber Security- Growing trend
That is my biggest issue with POA&M. Many " seasoned professionals" use it as a fix-all band-aid instead of actually mitigating the weakness.

Passed SSCP...on to the CISSP!!
Proud to announce that I successfully passed the SSCP exam this morning! Wish I knew what I scored and which sections I did poorly in so that I can feel validated and know where I should have studied harder...oh well.
