    I feel this video. I just failed CEH on Friday. I took a CEH bootcamp class (cause I didn't have the work experience) on v10, things happened and I didn't get to test right away, then the test changed to v11. i knew the exam changed but still took my chance cause my test voucher was about to expire. I was not confident at all while taking the test cause they asked a LOT of questions about tools that I had never heard of. still...ended up only failing by 7 questions. gonna shift focus for a while and do eJPT, then hopefully the 3rd party study material for v11 will be out and I'll try again.

Yesterday comptia offered $50 to do their comptia pen+ beta test for $50. If I pass i get the cert. Of course I bought it cause you can't be any comptia test for 50 bucks. But question is do you think I can use the ceh as a study guide and course material that would prepare me for pen+? also I'm not trying to overwhelm myself cause I'm trying to get the entry splunk cert also.
