Darril does a great job of making the technical jargon simple. Using the book along with his on-line tests is all you need.

Using only this book and the practice test questions book, I was able to pass with an 854. Getting a 900 with this book is very possible. I strongly recommend getting the practice test questions book as it not only tells you what the right answer is but explains why for both the right answer and the wrong answers. No other certification book that I have seen does that. They simply give you the right answer with no explanation. I have read other books that he either authored alone or was one of the group authors of. He's an excellent writer who makes things very clear and easy to understand. This book is also one of the least expensive of all Security+ books you will find. I see no reason not to use this book and recommend it to everyone.

After writing this review I thought of one more thing that may be very helpful to everyone looking to take this exam. The author of this great book frequents a forum that was created for those taking certifications of all sorts, TechExams.net. This is another area where this author shines above the rest. He will answer specific questions about the book or about the test if you post it in the forum. This forum will also give you a good idea of what people think about this book as most of the people use this book. It's not his site. The forum is very beneficial for anyone who plans to take additional certification tests as well. It helped me a great deal. Check it out. It's worth it.

Muy buen material de estudio para superar la certificación CompTIA Security+, además de buen precio.

El contenido es de calidad, bien redactado (en inglés, único idioma en el que está disponible la certificación) y bien maquetado. De toda la bibliografía que he consultado, éste libro me ha parecido el mejor.

Si no he puesto 5 estrellas es porque hay ciertas preguntas (muy pocas) del examen que el libro no cubre.

Aún así me parece una gran obra, altamente recomendable.

No wonder why this has been choice of so many around the world preparing for Sec+ exam.
