I am trying to figure out the same thing. I think the 201 has a higher required passing score. but I would like to hear other chime in. I think its 760 for 201 vs 750 for the 101. I have heard that the 101 has a ton of the DAC, MAC, RBAC stuff whereas the 201 doesnt. They have the same # of questions, but also the 201 might have more cryptography, i am just guessing this from the printout of the exam objective from CompTIA. I think I am going to go for the 201 - because i think the DAC, MAC, RBAC stuff is more confusing than the amount of cryptography you will need to understand. I am pretty new to this site, so i would love to hear what the experts think. | ||

I would recommend that you go f0r 201. I recently passed 101 and it had alot on the different access control methods and authentication methods but kinda lacking on the cryptology. | ||

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the 101 expire already, or is expiring this month? __________________ By the Hammer of Thor  Upcoming: CCENT|70-621|Security +|Server +|70-270| Linux +|CEH|The Secret of Life | ||

SYO-101 hasn't expired yet, I just took mine on Tuesday. I took SYO-101 rather than SYO-201 because I needed it for school and that's the one they gave me the voucher ofr. That and I had already started studying for SYO-101. It took me 2 tries to pass by I eventually passed it. | ||

I took SY0-101 only because our company has the material for that exam and I didn't want to spend money on buying new materials ! It doesn't make difference. I heard only US department of defense and/or US Army asks for the updated version of the exam...other than that you will be Security+ certified..and it's just an entry level cert so personally I wouldn't stress much about it. Good luck  __________________ My final Goals: Shell Scripting................. 20% Sun Cluster 3.2 .............. 50% RHCE ........................... 50% ITIL V3 Foundation........... 0% CISSP ........................... 0% SNIA SCP ..................... 50% | ||

Ill chip in here and say im using the CBT nuggets for the 2008 edition of the exam and the sybex book SY0-201. I have my second attempt at this exam booked for the 26th of October (the last attempt was almost a year ago, yes I am slow). | ||
