I was happily strolling along my merry little way in alt.computer.security,
when I looked down and saw a little note from todhunter5 on Tue 23 Dec 2003

sorry to hear about that. i agree, the sec+ exam is an odd duck. i remember
that many of the multi choice questions had at least two answers (some even
3!) out of 4 that actually made perfect sense.

i think one does need a half decent study book to pass it. i used snygress as
well as que exam prep book. i wouldn't reccomend trying to wing it based on
on the job experience. wishing you better luck next time.

:-)

p.s. the gradeing is 100-900 i believe. something similar to US SAT
gradeings.
