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

Congrats on the pass!
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 -
