did you pass the exam? I took the exam a couple months ago and I have to agree with you that the exam is awful. About 99% of the content has nothing to do with Pix. The passing score is 825. My score is 980. However, I think I passed the exam with a high score is because of my "exam taking" skills than just anything else. I didn't prepare for the exam with boson and the like... I just went in and took the exam and relied on my instinct. At the end of the exam, I didn't know that I would pass let alone that my score is 980. While I didn't manage any pix firewalls at work, I did build my own "franken" pix firewall. Good luck next time. Eric

Although, I didn't have any time issues. Most of all the questions were irrevelant to the PIX. They didn't fit in with Cisco's outline of the exam. I studied Boson's (Bernard's) practice exam. I read Cisco Press's old exam certification guide. I read Cisco Press's new certification guide by Greg Bastien, and Christian Abera Degu. I went through the self study exams a number of times. I also setup our 515E PIX firewall at work. All of this to no avail. I will wait until June 17th and take the new 642-521 CSPFA exam. Also, I'd recommend the same for you. JoeT CCNP Do you Yahoo!?
