Gathering practice mat(s) for the exam

Never thought I would come back to tackle Cisco exam just a few months after R&S.

Someone said Security is less intense than R&S, I hope that's true.

Has anyone tried the practice problems from the following makers?

(1) Boson
(2) uCertify
(3) PearsonIT
(4) Transcender: Couldn't find one.

Thanks.

Security isn't less intense at all, it's just not 100% R/S focused but knowing R/S will help you tremendously as you will again encounter CoPPr and CoPP and how to mitigate attacks against the mgmt, control and data planes. 802.1x should be familiar to a good R/S guy...to be honest I am glad I have R/S background as I did my Security..it helped and made studying fun but again I really enjoy Security

I didn't use anything for Security besides OCG, Nuggets and Labbing...so can't comment there

OCG, Nuggests and Labbing with ASAs were enough to pass 640-554?

Thanks.

Boson's Practice tests were good for my ICND1 and ICND2. I haven't tried them yet for anything else, though.

You do NOT need an ASA for CCNA Security. CCNP absolutely and you need two 5510/5520's with Security Plus Licenses

At NA you are going to learn to harden devices and they will mostly be routers and you will 100% use CCP..no ASDM

Would one CCP-capable IOS router with be enough? For SIM questions on 640-554.
