Exam Cram Security+ SY0-301,
The Exam Cram book is an excellent resource for preparing for the Security+ exam. This is not a book for learning the material. I would recommend thoroughly working through the Security+ SY0-301 Certification guide first, to get all the information. Then I would work through this book to reinforce concepts and correct any misconceptions. The Exam Cram book doesn’t just give questions and answers. Questions are given, then the answers are explained as to why they are correct. And the incorrect answers are explained as to why they are incorrect. No matter how many times the incorrect answers appear. This reinforces the learning process. Many questions have answers which ‘Sound like’ they are correct, but they are not. Although some people might think of this as repetitive, it works to help learning why the answers are correct and the ‘close’ answers are incorrect. All in all, this is an excellent book. Well organised and well written.

|A Good Choice,
I used the “Companion CD” that came with this book every night for at least three hours for nearly two weeks and it helped me pass with an 848. I was also enrolled at a local school and that helped as well. I’m the type of person that really get’s a lot from a timed practice test that is designed to mimic the actual test and that’s what the “Companion CD” offered. The CD did a great job at presenting the practice tests in such a way that when I sat down to do the actual CompTIA Security+ test I felt at easy with the format and that helped me feel some what relaxed with the test. I would turn on a 100 question test, set it to study mode, turn on the 90 minute timer and press start. At the end, or even during the practice tests you can review the answers. The detailed explanations of each question helped my out a ton. Another resource that helped is actually found on the CompTIA website. Go to the CompTIA website and hover your mouse over “Training & Testing” tab near the top middle of the page and in the drop down menu select “Exam Objectives.” Next, fill out that short form (name, e-mail, country) and also make sure you select the “CompTIA Security+” exam objectives and you will then be given access to the SY0-301 exam objectives. I created a word document using ALL of the outlined exam objectives and I filled out every definition for each term, acronym and the details for each concept provide on the CompTIA SY0-301 exam objective sheet and let me tell you… That was the single biggest factor for my success. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it and there is no short cut for hard work and hard study. If you want to pass the CompTIA Security+ certification exam you have to work hard. So use your energy on studying properly and not on trying to find short cuts because in the end you’ve worked just as hard either way so why not just better yourself and learn the material so you can further your education and build your character.

|Awesome Study Guide,
I recently used this guide to study for my upcoming Security + exam. I’ve read a couple of textbooks for the exam and have taken numerous College courses on Security+/Network security. This guide sums it all up and is very thorough on the topic. After using this guide, I feel very confident that I will pass the exam on the first try.
