    Congrats. I see that it was a self study.

    What about the eligibility? Did you face some difficulties? I'm confused because I want to do the same, however I don't have 2 years of infosec experience.

    Congrats on the pass. I just bought the Matt Walker AIO....ready to get started! How long did you study for? I'm planning on 1-2 months.

    I studied for about 4 months, and was kind of paranoid about failing a 500$ test. Honestly, it was a bunch of mulitple choice trivia. If I were you I'd get the Boson exam simulator to supplement the Matt Walker book. If you can PWN those, the real test should be easy peasy. CBT nuggets was also awesome.

    I do have years of experience, and I still had to get my boss to respond to an email from ECCOUNCIL about my experience etc etc. I do Cyber Security as a day job.....

    Keep that into consideration.

    I wouldn't recommend paying the 3,000 something dollars for a class. I'd recommend doing the OSCP or something instead, that is cheaper and more hands on.

    Actually, if you are going to spend 3 grand on a cert, might as well go the SANS route. I would, but I don't have money like that lol.

    Also, they were harping me after I passed the test about a retake......asking me for my resume and my background etc etc......

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.

    It's called the Candidate Retest Auditing. Some combination of getting a high score and possibly finishing too quick and who knows what else may trigger the audit.

    ^ It's like beating the end boss in a video game only to find out you haven't beaten him sort of like Starfox 64.
