RE: FW: PIX advanced exam [7:24478]

2001-10-30 Thread Matthew Crane

None, because there have not been any until recently, check out:
Cisco Press - Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions.

I did it the hard way, bought a 506, 515 & 520 and got loads of hands on
experience.

There is also a lot of theory in the exams about IKE, IPsec etc so for this
use cco and finally went on the PIX traing courses which helped to clarify
any misunderstandings. As to the courses forget the basics just go for the
advanced course as there is way to much overlap in the courses.

I agree with Matthew above.

I am taking the Advanced PIX tomorrow and fortunely I had the course
materials so All I needed to do was study that.

Honestly speaking, that Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions is damn
good!  I use it to enforce what I learned from the official training
materials.  It is very percise.  Given that my boss has passed all 4 tests
and taught the official MCNS course I have simply followed his
recommendations and it always works.

Know the points from the following link: 
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/current_exams/9E0-571.html

They aren't joking when they list the points to study for.
On each point make sure that you know the theory and know the real commands.
Then read the official training materials.
Then read Cisco Press
After that if you got the money and you are still worried, get Boson.  This
also assumes that you are working with PIXs everyday.  I just had my
PAT-VPN-PIX nightmare solved and it was with a solution which Cisco said
would not work!

Peace,

Theo

I took the test today and failed.  731 but 751 necessary.

I can not believe that I failed it.  I thought I had studied everything
perfectly and with work and all

There is a secret section...I can not say it because of that stupid NDS but
that it not been for that one section I would have passed.  just on that
section I got 33%.  Of well, I can take it again on Monday.

Why is this so much the case?  Every time I take these tests I am always
like 20 or 30 points away on the first attempt.  I even took the CISSP.  Got
682 but 700 was necessary out of 1000 points and 225 questions.

Another weekend poor because all of my money is going to these tests and
lonely because all I do is study study study.  Blah!

Theo

If you want some extra pointers from a CCSI on this stuff contact me
offline, obviously we keep within the NDA, but I may be able to help.
