in CCNA Security
For the last month or two, i been looking at doing the CCNA SP or start on CCNP route, tbh i've been a bit lazy and just reading articles and few bits and bobs no serious study. I find myself on the CCNA security exam syllabus and whoop whoop im here!!!

Im going to forget about NP and SP for now and spend the next 3/4 months trying to get the CCNA security. I'm probably going to do about 3 hours a night 7 days a week. Wanted to ask you guys what exam stuff do you recommend. I use GNS and PT.

What route have people taken to study for this?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

    Don't study every day for hours a day. You will burn out, make sure to give yourself a 2 day break! The importance here is learning refreshed and tuned in, not as a chore.

    I did the same study method you did for my humanities course and now I have to go back and redo it all. I would give yourself more rest if it gets too much. I usually read for 30 minutes, slowly, every hour or so.

    Maybe it's just me lol

    GNS3 is more than fine and will allow you to connect to the routers with CCP (Assuming you are taking the 554 exam :) ) I studied for a few weeks about 4 hours a day reading the 553 book and watching the 554 CBT Nuggets and a lot of hands on. The exam is not as hard as the CCNA material IMHO. You will do great, good luck on it.

    I used the Syben 553 book since I already had it from before and used the 554 CBTs (Gotta love $99 subscription :) )
