5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read right before the exam, January 31, 2003

Kathryn Lay - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mike Meyers' Security+ Certification Passport (Passport) (Paperback)

I picked up this book a week before my exam. I have used another book as part of my study guides and I wanted a fresh outlook on this exam (I was really nervous about this exam). They are not Cheap! I found some really good tips and information that was on the exam in this book that I did not find in the other study guide I was reading. This book was great to have as a good quick review of the exam topics before I sat the real exam. I really helped me pass!

5.0 out of 5 stars Passed Jan 27th!, January 27, 2003

Gary Cox (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mike Meyers' Security+ Certification Passport (Passport) (Paperback)

I have just read the Security+ Passport by Trevor Kay and I must say it is one of the best cram book out there for this exam.
I took the beta exam and didn't pass because of lack of proper training material. I wrote the Security+ exam Jan 27th after reading this book and I got 820 (764 is a pass).
Thank you Trevor!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Crammer, January 31, 2003

Mark - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mike Meyers' Security+ Certification Passport (Passport) (Paperback)

I found this book to be an excellent resource for the Comptia Security+ exam. Each objective is covered fully throughout each chapter. The post chapter sample questions and exam tips I found to be a big help. I am now Security+ certified. I recommend this book as part of your Security+ training material.
