What did you find difficult about it? The time restriction or the material covered? or You say you run out of time to check the flagged questions, how many questions did you flag? Congratulations on the pass!

It was difficult for me for two one main reason: English is my second language, that's the reason why takes more time.

Now talking about the info everybody tell you think like a manager, and it is true, now sometimes I thought like a hacker to understand the result.

I study like crazy and used Transcender flash card a lot, but still it is difficult.

There is one part I did not practice too much and probably I needed, when I was doing the final transcender tests, I did 60 question and go to watch TV or do something and go back to keep doing until the 250 question, I regret not to practice to be sitting for 125 question reading all that info at once, I felt I needed to do.

I flagged around 40 questions, LOL just the fist 6 where flagged, I was so nervous. Anyways when I finish I though see you in 30 days but not, good.

I still feel tired today after all the study and the exam.

I am not sure what to do next, OSCP, ITIL Foundation or MCSE 2012. I am still digesting, any recommendation guys!!!!
