decided to take the exam a week early....

glad i did, PASS!

this exam was nothing like my ccna. very straight forward, no trick questions. used the cisco press books, sybex book, and cbts for this one. having just taken the security+ this exam felt like a step down as far as the level of depth and difficulty but maybe the fact a lot of the material was a repeat really helped me feel confident this go around. looking towards either sscp or ccda next. but for now its time to celebrate!

Awesome congrats! however i dont seem to understand your comparison of security+ ? CCNA Security you have a lot of configuration and troubleshooting of security. Security + is just theory based and wording lol CCNA Security you actually have to lab things here.

Anyways good news you passed! i want to sit this in december after my CCDP.

thanks for the kind words everyone!

i know its been said before but they really need crisp clear large pictures of the sdm interface for the test questions. you definitely need a magnifying glass to read some of them.

because this exam is really heavy on the sdm (which in my opinion once you spend a little time in there its very easy to figure out and does all the config work for you) the theory at least from my experience is what they focused on. which makes sense to really drive in the concepts and theory now and then move on to the real config work with the professional level.

anyways, amen to this below. what a mess of software.

Unacceptable isn't it? There is nothing hard whatsever to provide clear crisp images. What they use are very poor compression images. It's just absolutely mind boggling no one thought of making the images clear....

I'd like to really get to know the people behind these cert exams...

i mean i read people's complaints so i expected it but it's definitely a little mind boggling (and worse than i expected) when you actually see them.
