Just finished the CSIDS exam, completing the series of four to become a CSS1.
My take, if anyone is interested, is below, and tests are in the order I took them: MCNS - I'm glad I took this one first, as it covered all the material of the next two exams. CSPFA - A slightly more focused rehash of MCNS. I referred back to MCNS quite a bit to clarify info. CSVPN - Again, most everything was covered in CSPFA and MCNS CSIDS - All in all, the easiest of the exams. In all cases, the only prep material I had was the courseware and Boson exams. I've worked with the Pix for 3 years, but unfortunately have no hands-on exposure to the CSDIS hardware. Almost all the tests were difficult, none terribly so, and the CSIDS exam was just this side of a joke. The tests were also better written than the CCNP/CCNA exams I've taken. If I wasn't so tired, this would be louder: woo hoo.
