Passed Today!!! 876 out of 900

| Hello,
I felt that the questions on this exam were fair. I already have quite a bit of experience in the Information Security World, so some answers seemed like common sense to me. I tend to over-study for my exams, so I made sure that I used multiple sources to study. I always say in these Forums that no matter how much experience you have you should still study HARD. Here are the list of things in order I used to study:
1. Sybex's Security+ Study Guide
2. Tcat's PDF Security+ Study Guide
3. ExamCram2's Security+ Study Guide
4. Transcender's Security+ Practice Exams
I took a detour to finish the Security+ cert, now I must complete 2 more exams to finish the MCSE. Study hard, you will pass! Good luck everyone!!! | |

| Congrats...Great Job ...!! Can you please tell us which areas were more focussed in the exam? What are your tips for preparation? Yes I accept with you . No matter how experienced we are , we should prepare well enough for the exam. Out of the study guides you mentioned, which proved out to be most useful? And which are not that useful at all?

| spradeep1979,
Which areas were more focused on the exam? Well...all of the study guides I read were pretty in-line with CompTIA's Security+ objectives. Here you go.....I'll list my opinion of the books I read cover-to-cover compared to the real exam:
1. Sybex - Adequate coverage
2. Tcat's PDF - In-depth coverage
3. ExamCram2 - Not enough coverage
4. Transcender Exam - Fairly close to the exam. This gave me a good feel of what type of questions to expect on the real exam.
Some free practice exams I found on-line were either too easy or covered topics not covered in CompTIA's exam objectives. I hope this helps. I apologize for taking so long to respond, I've got a million and one projects going on right now at work. Good luck my friend! |
