Try not to be nervous.. I use to get really nervous before tests, but at the end of the day remember it's a piece of paper, don't get too worked up over it.

Good luck!

Did you not have much hands on with the SDM before you took the exam the 1st time? I'm pretty much wrapping up my CCNA Security studies. I'm going to take the test within the next few weeks. Any pointers?

Which Cisco Press Book did you use to study? I'm using the one published by Catherine Paquet. Also using CBT Nuggets, Train Signal, and my 1841 routers.

the first time around i had very little experience with SDM. then i purchsed a 851 router and just browsed around made some vpn's even if i didnt had another end device just kinda looking at the out puts and verifying the config in sdm. Also i re-reviewed my book a few times. In general I say do spend the time with SDM if not the simulations will be time consuming. and really learn the ZBF and VPN concepts if you have those down well you are in good hands to pass the exam and ofcourse theres misc. topics. So id say do some labs learn how to verify configs using SDM.
