Passed with an 869 today !
sunnysysadm
I took the test this morning scoring an 869 out of 900 possible. I studied for the past several months using mainly the Syngress book and the technotes from this site (wish the technotes were complete !!). It only took me 30 minutes to complete the exam and I found the questions very fair and straightforward in their wording. My suggestions would be to know your ports, IPSec, L2TP, PPTP, routing protocols, basic networking skills, and know how to calculate your ALE and SLE.
Funny enough, I already have my CISSP from March of this year, but soon afterwards I found out that Microsoft only accepts the Security+ exam as an elective towards the MCSE:Security 2003 track of which I would like to pursue to upgrade my current MCSE in Windows NT and Windows 2000. Compared to the CISSP (of course) this exam was fairly easy and did not cover as much material.

Good stuff dude. With CISSP you should have found this a fairly easy exam.

You don't need MCSE:Security when you have a CISSP
