Passed 201
Passed the 201 this morning.
I have to say I enjoyed all of the material while preparing for the exam. The only resource I used was Darril Gibson's 201 Study Guide, very good book. I was already familiar with most of the topics on the exam objectives through career experience, but I have to say again very enjoyable study time and exam.
Total time studying for the 201 was about two weeks. I read the book and took notes while reading. At the end of the chapters I took the practice test, on the questions I got wrong I went back and re-read the sections and then made more notes. After I was done reading the book, I went over the exam objectives in the book again and re-wrote the notes I took over the course of reading and practice test taking.
The questions and posts on the forums also helped
Next up is CCNA Security after I take a little R&R break.
Thanks Guys

Thank you for the feedback on materials also. When you say career experience do you mean that you're in security field?
Good luck with your CCNA:S -
