There is over 500 questions. Further, Helen O'Boyle and others are teamed with me to release a equally free PDF file to be release before the first day of the beta period. [email protected]

9/11/02: skeeter says: just what the world needs, another crappy CompTIA cert. I feel very sorry for the company that entrusts their network security to a CompTIA Security plus person, GOOD LUCK SUCKERS
10/20/02: ayan from mclean says: great
4/1/03: seankubin from Arkansas, USA says: I fail to understand the expense structure of such testing companies. How does brainbench.com offer adaptive tests on similiar topics, and comptia survive doing the same at 3times the price? Does the reputation of comptia trully cost that much? Either way, a security test is a good idea. At least employers can know that their employee has some understanding of how to employ the security features that are now standard for many operating systems.
