Passed SY0-301 today (10/31/2011)
Passed with an 871 out of 900! I was impressed I did so well.
I used Sybex SY0-201 study guide (strong reference), Gibson's practice questions ($10 on amazon kindle), professor messer videos and the Techexams free test and well-known ports.
I honestly wasn't surprised by very much. Be VERY careful of the wording. I went back on 1 or 2 problems to change my answer because I misread the question. Know your port numbers, know your symmetric and asymmetric encryptions. MD5 is for hashing/integrity. You'll be ok!

Congrats! I'm one of the guys who's interested to shift from a networking guy to security.
What is your background and how long was your study time? Any input would be really appreciated. -
