Well I sat for the test last week and passed with a score of 918. There were a few questions that honestly I had no idea so just took a guess. I didn't run into a true simulator, just a 5 question lab, that was somewhat buggy. The screen didn't have enough room for me to have all the open windows needed to navigate easier while reading the questions. I think I might have missed a question on this one, but not sure.
I used CBT Nuggets with Keith Barker and setup GNS3 on my Surface to use when studying. I read the OCG twice, and really hate that book. I had Chris Bryant's old Security book and video's so went over those, but skipped the CCP sections.
Where do go from here I am still debating. I have my CCNA-R/S and CCNA-Wireless, so might start on CCNP-R/S Where I work I get to touch everything from Switches, Routers, ASA, Wireless, Phones. Most everything is Cisco, but we are starting to move all our wireless to Ubiquiti, and some of the outlining area switches. The core is always going to stay Cisco
Good luck to others that will be taking the exam.
