    Do not forget the policies... | mhenning |
 |
| This exam is very heavy in policies and procedures, as well as vocabulary. You don't need experience to pass this exam. You just need to learn a lot of vocabulary, and some very simple concepts. |

| Mixed feelings about this test | toddbert |
|
| It was harder than it needed to be, not because of the subject matter but because of the poorly written questions. I had several questions that contained misspelled words and terrible grammar. It didn't really test my knowledge of security so much as my ability to interpret just what it was they were trying to ask me. I have only taken a few exams, but is this typical? Also I had one question twice. I passed with an 830, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I used the TestOut test prep program, I think it's very good. |

| Know the material! | joleonekc |
|
| If you know the material well, you will be able to pass this exam. I used ActualTest practice questions, and also the O'Reilly A+/Net+/Security+ prep book.
I took the exam today, and passed with an 803 in 15 minutes. |

| not too hard | wilhelmmethodical |
|
| Took the test 3/22/08 and passed with a 891.
I studied for about a week, but have been reading up on CEH and CISSP for a bit longer and work in the field.
Like a lot of people said, it isn't too hard, just a lot of areas they dip into.
I used the Sybex book and transcenders prep tests. |

| passing the security+ exam | mickster1999 |
|
| This exam is difficult due to the amount of material covered and the information you need to commit to memory. I recently passed he exam with an 870 after studying for 3 weeks. One good thing about it is that the material covered is also some of the material needed to know for the CISSP, which I am now studying for. Good luck to all. |

| Not that bad | fo0lx9 |
|
| I took this exam today and passed it in 21 minutes. Its ture it covers a large area of information but really brush up on PKI before taking it. |
|
| Harder than I thought | jjmil03 |
|
| Difficult to say the least. Some questions could go either way at times, but you just have to tell yourself to pick the MOST correct answer and you will do well. I scored a 863 on 2 Nov 07

| Not Difficult, Just Broad | CloudedL1nk |
|
| Like all CompTIA exams, you either know the answer to the questions or you don't. The questions are clear and concise if you know the material. What makes this exam difficult is how much you could be tested on. You need to know everything from the differences in access control methods to the different names security policies and procedures can have. |

| Not too difficult, but tricky | laiw08 |
|
| Questions can have odd wording. Did pass with an 841. |

| Deceptive | awaters |
|
| After passing server+ and the A+ exams with wide margins of victory, i expected this exam to be much of the same. Nothing could be further from the truth. I took the 2007 version of the exam which is apparently not the same as the book that I had. However, this exam is fair and i didn't think there were many trick questions. Unlike other posters, I think i had 2 questions about security keys. My final socre was a 822. i am pretty sure that had I taken the exam a little more seriously, i could ahve done better. |
