I used the 7th Edition Sybex book and online practice exams, and the Eric Conrad book (aka the book that you cant use a highlighter on). Both are excellent. The main reason I passed, besides incredible amounts of study time and some experience, was Kelly Handerhan's Cybrary videos. They are fantastic and i recommend them highly. I did use skillset - and paid for 3 months of Pro, however the quality of the content is questionable, and i believe it gave me a false sense of security on several domains that i should have spent more time on. Plus, they do not respond to emails. That said, here are some highlights from the test: Several questions on polyinstantation. Lots of governance and audit questions. Almost no cryptography questions, which was a surprise. The interactive questions were very simple - I thought they would be more difficult. Several IPSEC questions. Thanks again everybody!
