I had read the books and labbed about 8 months ago then my company was bought and I never went back to it. Just went over the material this weekend and hit 95% average for all practice questions. Scheduled the exam for tomorrow.
Work is making me get a CCNP Voice ( i dont really want it and am not interested in it ) by the end of the year so i'm hoping I can fit in CCNP security by Mid September. I have years of cisco ASA experience to help out with those exams
