    As someone who only used one tool (www.smartforce.com) to study for the
    Security+ (and regretted it when I had to take the test twice to pass
    it), I would recommend using at least a couple different resources. It
    seems that books/study guides/etc often seem a bit patchy in their
    coverage of the subject matter. The test is a bit weird too, IMHO.
