I loved all these practice questions. The deep explanations for each option of each question were fantastic. I used this as my main source of study for Sec+ and I passed the exam.

That being said, I felt the questions on the actual exam were pretty different from the questions here. Although the topics were the same, I felt that I probably wasted a lot of time on these questions. Hard to say how well this actually prepared me.

Read it through, question-by-question, being sure to read the thorough answers, which are handy, whether you got the question right or wrong, since they explain why the right answer is right and why the wrong answers are wrong. I saw an Amazon review that said the real test questions are much harder, so I don't know how useful this will be.
