So I sat and passed the Cisco IINS 210-160 this morning with an 897.
Overall, the exam is exactly what I've come to expect from Cisco Certifications...pretty darn difficult.
As always, without violating the NDA I'll state the following:
I must say that the simulations that I had weren't buggy at all, maybe a little annoying to try and organize all the windows on the small screen...(lots of scrolling) but that's about it. Multiple Choice and Multiple Select questions were on point, not ambiguous or overwhelming.
Preparation:
Overall, pleased with the experieince and pass and happily knocked another 6 CUs of my BS:ITSEC Program at WGU.
Onto the next!

Do you recommend the Sybex over the Cisco Press if you were to choose one book resource?"Jeez louise, I can't wait to get my MCSE and quit this job." - Nick Burns
