i used the OCG, CBT nuggets, and boson practice exams. It took me about 1.5 months. I felt extremely rushed, thought I failed after the first 5 questions, and somehow managed to pass by the skin of my teeth.
I was able to sim basically everything using GNS3, but a physical ASA would help quite a bit if you're not able to virtualize it. I don't think packet tracer would be enough, as you'll want the ASA experience.CCIE RS - Written (Goal: July 2019) [ ] Lab [ ] -

what is OCG?
I dont have the space for a real asa in my basement.
for GNS3, don't you need the ios ? which means you need a cisco account right? -

OCG = Official Cert Guide
Cisco has tiny ASA's that are smaller than a laptop. Only a few interfaces, but you can run ASDM on it.CCIE RS - Written (Goal: July 2019) [ ] Lab [ ] -

If you can swing the price or get your company to pay for it, Cisco's training on it is really good. Videos and labs

Can't imagine too many pay this on their own tho. -

I'm currently studying for this exam. I bought an ASA 5505 on Ebay for $150 and ASDM works great. If your budget allows I'd recommend looking on Ebay for a 5505. I'm also finding Keith Barkers CBT nuggets absolutely fantastic. I'm aiming to take the exam in the next month or so. I am a little disappointed that the exams went up and are now $300 a pop
