I bought the discount voucher from getcertify4less.com and scheduled my ISCW for the 9th at 1:15. There is a testing center two lights down from my work so I'll take an extended lunch. Wish me luck!! I've used my home lab, Transcender, CBTNuggets, the CCNP Quick Reference book, and I read the CCNP library book twice. I also have been using the Cisco web site a lot. I also had to configure an IPsec tunnel to connect two of my cousin's company's sites together so that was helpful. I love ISRs. The SDM is really convenient as well.

*****update*****

I passed today. The testing center was pretty nasty. I'd equate it to a goodwill for IT testing. The mouse kept breaking and the machine lagged like crazy. They didn't take my picture like I've heard a lot of people had to do. It was A LOT tougher than I thought. I finished the test with 1 minute and 44 seconds to go. I underestimated this guy. Let's just say surprises are in store... Anyway, here's my score report:


Score: 815

Implement Basic teleworker services - 50%
Implement Frame-Mode MPLS - 71%
Implement a site-to-site IPSec VPN - 77%
Describe network security strategies - 100%
Implement Cisco Device Hardening - 66%
Implement Cisco IOS firewall - 66%
Describe and configure Cisco IOS IPS - 87%
