Exam Scheduled: 642-825 ISCW [edit] passed, 1000/1000

Candidate: Paul Boz
Test Series: 642-825 Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks - English (ENU)
Date: Friday, February 29, 2008
Time: 11:30 AM
Appointment Length (minutes): 110

This test is a joke compared to the composite. I was expecting a brave new world of security knowledge but was given info on how to use the wonderful Cisco SDM GUI. I don't know about you guys but I'm not trying to learn GUIs. Hopefully the security track is a little more fulfilling

I've massively over studied for the MPLS portion of the exam but I figure I can carry that over to the provider track too.

I'll keep you guys updated as I get closer to the deadline. I scheduled it on the leap year day so hopefully I'll get a "once in every four years" type of score

Good luck man. I need to stop being lazy and schedule my exams as well. Let us know how it goes.

Good luck!

Regarding SDM.

I have been studying for this one. And one thing that concerns me is actually the SDM part. I know its easy to use a GUI, click-click-Next-click-finish, but I think the exam questions lean towards knowing what CLI commands get generated for each click. So I guess I must learn two things, the actual commands (i.e. crypto, tunnel, etc,etc) AND what commands gets generated by the SDM, which is like double work.

Humper

I have begun studying for this useless exam. If I have to learn a GUI im gonna be pissed!!!! Time to get this CCNP finished

I passed it with a 1000/1000. I definitely over-studied. The material was more like a "What can Cisco do for you?" brochure but I'm fine with that, their features are great.

I'm just going to say that I was "disappointed" with the SDM simulations.

ONT will be scheduled soon!

congrats! nice score.

Paul Boz

Thanks. Like I said though, I definitely over-studied.

For all of you BSCI/BCMSN hopefuls, rest assured that if you knock those two out first you have nothing but down hill in front of you.

Yea ICSW & ONT were much easier than BSCI & BCMSN. Then again, none of them were hard, they just required time in order to understand the concepts fully.

Congrats Paul!

I hope to be joinging you soon. I plan to sit the ISCW and ONT next month. Haven't been able to test latley, and since I finished studying the ISCW material, I've doubled up my study with ONT. I'll try to knock them both out and have the CCNP done!

Good luck on the ONT!

In your defense I spend about eight hours a day studying so I can get through to the CCIP. I have won the battle my friend, but not the war

Congratulations!
Yep, the SDM simulations are definitely easy.
