CompTIA Security+ Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-401 Practice Test Questions Kindle Edition

If you haven't read Darril Gibson's SY0-401 Study Guide, this book and the 400+ questions in it will be extremely useful. However, if you have already read his study guide, don't bother purchasing this. 90%+ of the questions in this are taken directly from the study guide with zero modification to them. You'll be wasting your money purchasing both, when you can just retest yourself from the study guide. Also, another reviewer mentioned that practice exams are worthless now that the test has changed the questions, I disagree. While these practice questions won't be on the actual exam, they still give you a good metric as to what your knowledge level is for the subject matter. If you're looking for the exact exam questions, you won't find them here. However, if you're looking for well worded questions that help you determine if you're ready for the exam, this book and the study guide have you covered.All that said, I would give it 5 stars because the questions are actually really good for testing your knowledge, but the lack of any indication that these questions are ripped straight from the study guide is pretty frustrating. It should be in the description for this book that the 400+ questions can be found with much more explanation alongside them in the study guide.

Excellent book, not only it is accurate on the responses but explains why the other options are wrong. It also gives you every acronym and its meaning, ports, etc.I studied late for the test and can say this was my main study source (also had a study group to discuss questions and doubts). I found that buying the kindle version of the book was the best choice for me. It gives you 1 question per page without the answer, the answer is in the next page.I highly recommend this book.

The best book out there, me and a friend used Darril Gibson's book and study materials including the app and passed the Sec + on the first try. This book is probably the closest to how the questions are actually on the exam. As of most of these test the more sources you study from the better but this book and the App would be high on the list for me.

Passed my certification exam the first time! A huge thanks to this book! Although I am not at liberty to discuss the questions from the test, I can say for sure that this book enlightened on a bunch of areas that were covered on the test. But don't get this book if you're looking to study the exact same questions that will come on the test!! overall get this practice test question book, it'll really help!

Here's the thing about getting a question book like this- if you go through it multiple times, you'll be very comfortable with the types of questions this book asks. I used this as a companion to the Gibson Security+ study guide on the advice of multiple friends and coworkers who took the test and passed the first time. I found it very helpful in prepping for the exam.

This may help you learn the subject matter but the practice exams won't help you much. CompTia has drastically altered the real test. They made it much harder as of June 2016. Any practice exams from 2015 are practically worthless. I took a boot camp and passed but it was difficult. The questions were convoluted and you are expected to know a very broad range of material. Some of the questions expected knowledge that I did not find in this book or the book provided by my course.

This is definitely a product I would recommend to anyone trying to get certified. I combined this with the Study Guide and as added assurance I used Boson and ComTIAs certmaster guide as well. I am now Sec+ certified after a few weeks of hardcore studying.

Book seemed to be well written, however, it is not for the current security plus certification test. This book is for the 401 test, not the newer 501 test. If that is what you are looking for, than it appears to be a decent choice

Very happy reading this book

Good book worth the buy

I passed the SY0-401 exam February 28th 2015. 853/950excellent product !great readhighly recommended

Use this with the study guide. The exam is harder folks but this is good pre-study.Good luck to all!

I used the ebook and it covers the material on the exam for the most part. The exam formatting of questions for mine seemed much different then what was presented in the exam.
