in CCNP Security
I'm going to sit the SNAF exam this Tuesday. I put the ASA in production at work, took a Global Knowledge training class, and have been reading and watching CBT's for the last few
weekends. I believe I am ready.

Any last minute tips?

    Good luck, that's got the be the hardest cisco exam I've ever taken!

    Only tip is if you're successful with SNAF, I would recommend taking SNAA soon after; despite being the "advanced" version, I actually found it easier (took it 2 weeks after SNAA).

    I *THINK* I have that covered. I was actually dubious of the GUI before I tried it, but for tasks like MPF its much easier (for me anyway) than the CLI.

    I was planning on taking them like this: SNAF->MARS->IPS->SNRS->SNAA, but I may revise my thinking. I'm taking a MARS class next month for work, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get my elective out of the way as I need to attain CCSP to be promoted at work. I figured I could then go back for SNAA to get the ASA Specialist cert.

    I'll take a week off after SNAF to re-evaluate.

    *EDIT*
    I just looked at the SNAA curriculum and, WOW, you're right! I already do some of that stuff at work and we went over other parts in the SNAF class I took. I think I can be ready for that inside another month. Since I'll then be 1/2 done CCSP, I may even take the rest of the summer off and hit the books again in the fall! :) Thanks for the tip!

    864/1000! I only had 1:30 minutes left when I fininshed and had to guess at a few long-winded questions due to time constraints. I really think I would have gotten a higher score if I had an extra 10 minutes, but a pass is a pass.

    On to SNAA.

    That's exactly the way I saw it when I passed my CCSP, the SNAA is only a little more than SNAF which is a very complete (and hard) exam and it gives you an extra certification too :)

    Congrats on the pass!

    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

    Congrats on the pass!!

    What are you guys (and gals) using to study for SNAF? I will be taking the CCNA:Security later this year and after that i would like to start studying for the SNAF. My goal is to be an ASA Specialist by the end of the year.
