The following way is how I prepared for the exam:
- I purchased the CompTIA Security+ Deluxe Bundle first and register for the exam exactly one month from that day (I preferred 4 PM on a weekend).
- Before reading every chapter of Get Certified Get Ahead book, I watched Professor Messer’s videos relating to the topics covered in the beginning of each chapter in the book. for every video I watched I checked off each one of the CompTIA Security+ Certification Exam Objectives.
- Every night I went through the Security+ Acronyms list. Even though I didn’t understand some terms in the beginning, it made sense as I read through the book.
- After finishing the book and watching all the videos (this should happen at the same time also every objective should also be check off), I got a trial CBT Nuggets Subscription (make sure you cancel before 7 days or else you will get charged).
- Every night I now went through the Security Plus Excel sheet for Common Ports and Cryptographic Algorithms and Protocols.
- After I finished the CBT Nuggets, I did the CompTIA CertMaster for Security+ and went over the Security+ Acronyms list and Security Plus Excel sheet for Common Ports and Cryptographic Algorithms and Protocols.
- Thin client os software iso download windows 7. The night before the exam I took the first exam from the Get Certified Get Ahead book and then reviewed any materials I did not understand. The day of the exam I took the second exam from the Get Certified Get Ahead book. I got to the exam center a few hours early and reviewed for last time.
- The following are the performance-based questions I got.
• Firewall rules.
• Order of volatility.
• Types of spam.
• What type of software or ACL would you put on various devices on the network.
I passed the exam with a score of 841 out of 900.

I Passed Security+ and Built You All a Study Guide! Happy Holidays!
I passed Security+ today with 842/900, and in the process of studying I took a lot of notes. Sixty pages of notes, actually.
With a background in content creation and excessive note-taking, my notes came out pretty well. There are a few comedic swears in them, and a few anecdotes, and I may have skimmed some sections, but I think it could really help a lot of people studying for the test.
About The Guide
The study guide was prepared very heavily using Darril Gibson's textbook, and is not meant to replace it as a full study resource. Instead, I recommend reading his book, and using this study guide to help you organize and review the information.
Why are there two versions?
Funny you should ask that, actually. I decided that some people would like a really simplified, clean-cut view of all the material, and that is the original uneditable guide. I skimped on a lot of detail, really highlighted the most essential points, etc.
But I know people are different than me, so I also have a link to the editable guide, which I'm hoping the community will work together to flesh out. You can add notes, highlights, comments, details, or whatever you want to it. Maybe we'll crowdsource a whole new, more thorough textbook.
PS: I have a /lot/ of notes applying to Network+ as well, though they are less cleanly organized. It's a much more difficult test, and similarly was harder to structure my notes for. If there is interest, I would be willing to upload them either as-is, or actually edit them together into something nicer. Comment below if that's something you all would like to see.
EDIT: Due to high demand, I've put together my Network+ guide as well. I'm a little embarrassed to share it in the shape its in, as the formatting is a little nuts and the sections are NOT well organized. I will be updating it through the holidays most likely, and just like with Security+, I will upload two versions, one that can be edited by the community, and one that cannot.
Second Edit!! First ever reddit gold! Thanks guys!
