Security+ Certification - Is the SANS materials enough?

[Chip Panarchy <forumanarchy () gmail com>]

Hello

I've been studying the CBT-Nuggets for the Security+ certification,
however, haven't had much chance to watch the videos.

In your opinion, would the free articles on this topic be enough to
pass the exam?

http://www.sans.org/resources/security_plus/

As the advantage I see in this is;

- Modular
- Free
- Printable (not 600+ pages)
- Studyable at lunch!!! [biggest advantage over CBT!!!]

Would be interested in your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

PS: I've recently become Microsoft Certified (MCP) and will eventually
get the MCSA (thanks in part, to Security+). Also planning on studying
these next 2 months for the Apple certification (ACSP). What are your
thoughts on the aforementioned certifications?
