958/1000 Pass

Passed 640-544 with a 958.

Materials used:

Cisco Network Academy CCNA Security Course Booklet v1.1
Cisco Network Academy CCNA Security Course Lab Manual v1.1
Cisco CCNA Security Portable Command Guide
CBT Nuggets 640-554
Trainsignal 640-554
GNS3

In truth, all you really need is the network academy materials. Just do all the labs. I really enjoyed the VPN labs.

Next up is CCNA Voice followed by CCNA Wireless. I'll be taking a CompTIA VOIP class first at the local community college.

jdancer, how long did you prepare for the exam?

I took about 2-3 months to prepare for the exam. It's really important you do the labs. Not just do them but to understand them as well.
