You may know that I've been updating my CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-201 Study Guide to the SY0-301 version. I've completed the rewrite. Unfortunately, the process to get it to print is lengthy and it has a couple more phases to go through before it makes it to print. At this point, I’m thinking it’ll be out in October, but much of it is out of my hands. The ISBN is 1463762364 but it isn’t on Amazon yet either.
However, I continue to get queries about the update and I know many people want to take the new exam. Because of this, I copied 275 practice test questions from the new book and created the Kindle book. I’m able to control 100 percent of the process with the Kindle, so I knew I could get it to published quickly.

Answers to a Few FAQs
I continue to get queries about the SY0-201 and SY0-301 exam. Here's a few answers that may help you too.Can you still take the SY0-201 version?
Yes. You can still take the SY0-201 version until December 31, 2011. The CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-201 Study Guide is still helping many people take and pass this exam.
Do employers care which version you take?
No. Employers want to know that you are certified. I don’t know of any employer that cares which version you have (SY0-201 or SY0-301).
Is the SY0-301 version harder than the SY0-201 version?
This is a tough question to answer. It's different. It includes concepts that are newer because security topics continue to evolve. Since writing the first SY0-201 book, I've written several other security books, and contributed to a couple more. I tech edited a CISSP book, and I am in the final phase of a SSCP book based on the new objectives for the SSCP exam. Because of this, I've already been exposed to many of these topics so I was able to easily pass the exam when I took it (though I did miss a question).
Will I see questions on the SY0-201 exam that aren’t covered in the SY0-201 book?
Yes. CompTIA seeds the exam with beta questions but the beta questions are not graded. As an example, the SY0-201 objectives do not include any topics on cloud computing, yet many people report seeing questions on cloud computing. You'll probably see the same thing in three years when CompTIA releases the SY0-401 version.
