| I've just finished reading The 'All in one' Security+ Cerification book by Greg white, and the Cramsession2 book. I would not suggest spending your money on the greg White book. I found it to contain many errors such as 'WEP supports 2 key lengths of 64 and 104 bit'! And too many others to mention. The writing style overcomplicates many of the subject areas too! Their aim was to produce an 'all in one' Study guide for the security+ exam and an 'on the job reference'. They didn't do too well! As I was reading the Cramsession book, I came across several terms, and principles that weren't even mentioned in Greg Whites book! Such as - Bastion Hosts, Screened Host gateway, and Screened subnet gateway, and many more. This is unacceptable considering the cramsession book is only supposed to provide a review of the syllabus and nothing else.
I found the Cramsession book to be pretty good (Typos aside), but the sample questions seem far too easy to be credible!
I've used Boson products for other tests and found that they tend to stray from the objectives, and frequently provide wrong answers.
I've just ordered the book of practice questions from exam cram, and will be using the syngress, and Sybex books as review material in addition to making my own Condensed notes.
Can anyone suggest any good sources for sample tests that actually reflect the difficulty of the real thing? I've heard the Transcender products for security+ are supposed be ok? | |

| Transcenders are pretty good all round, i've found them most like the real exams i've taken.

| Is the Tcat Houser PDF the same thing as the Examinsight book he co-authors? If not is this book any good? | |

| How good is Cerfiedeasy.com exam material.
Looks like they are a parner with this site. | |
|
| Never herad of Cerfiedeasy - probably more an advertiser than a partner. |
