I have worked with a number of very timeserved Checkpoint support professionals who would most probably tank this test because they are not using all the features in the field which are laid out in the course material. Historically Checkpoint like Novell exams were cake if you had the course books and put time in with them. There was a run on used Novell 'White Books' back in the day when the CNE was hot. Courses are expensive. To what extent did the syngress book help with test prep? I notice there is a Boson practice test but the free examples look rubbish. Have you tried any testpreps at all? I briefly chatted with someone on transcender.me about a test prep but it turns out transcender have a subsidary ********** which are **** so I wont be buying those.
