Congrats, thanks for the tips. I have the exam in Six weeks. I am using CBT nuggets, Piotr on Udemy, 31 days before and the ASA book you mentioned. I also have two 5506-x spares at work.

Thanks guys.

I guess I should say some of the Q's were just basic sec questions and not necessarily cisco related. If you have a security background or have recently taken sec exams, these should be freebies for you. Goodluck

Can you send a direct link to the ASA book please? As there are now multiple versions of the ASA book.

Thank you

moldy,
question for you, did you go through the OCG at all?
on one of the Amazon reviews, one buyer posted that the following on the exam but not covered in any books. I checked and they don't show up on the CIsco roadmaps either. Can you verify? Thanks.

Some of the things I noticed were tested in-depth but not covered in much detail by the Cisco Press books:
MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB)
AsyncOS Email Reputation actions (Defang/Redirect/Replace URL)
Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM)
ESA File Analysis/Log interpretation
FirePOWER Preprocessors
EAP/EAP-TLS/LEAP/PEAP/EAP-FAST
Cisco ASA Packet Process Algorithm
ASA Use of LDAP Attribute Maps
ESP Packet dissection
Cisco Context Adaptive Scanning Engine
IP Routing Protocol-Independent Commands
Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES)
Cisco Web Security- Granular access controls
