Gathering practice mat(s) for the exam

in CCNA Security
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
    Modularity and Design Simplicity:

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?

    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.
    R&S: CCENT → CCNA → CCNP → CCIE [ ]
    Security: CCNA [ ]
    Virtualization: VCA-DCV [ ]

    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.
