Question regarding the CCNP Security certificate

[pakhisana]

Hello,

anybody here who recently passed the CCNP security CORE exam? How did you prepare? How does the exam look like? How hard/easy is it? Is it just multiple choice? Anything you can recommend for preparation?

I have just finished reading the official cert book and don't know what else I should do now before signing up for the exam.

Thanks in advance!

For cert exam and prep questions I would go to CLN, https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/discussions

navigate thru forum sub-groups and read posts; I have not seen similar question so you might post exam question under Security section in CLN.

Best of luck on exam!

Regards, ML

Hi Pakhisana, 

I passed the Core last year and WSA specialisation last week. 

I used a combination of preparation material but the best materials I found.

- The official book written by Omar.

- Cisco Learning Library SCOR course (due to labs within the material). 

I also used other material that were valuable to me for my preparation and understanding. 

- Pluralsight Craig SCOR training video series. 

- O'rielly official video material. 

I would recommend 

- Todd Lammle website for better product courses (dive deeper). 

- I used INE for my WSA and I am using it also for ISE. 

Kind Regards

Just to add, it will all depend what you have experience on as I struggled with practicing cloud technologies. Not easy to get hold of such access except for 14 days Umbrella trial which is not enough while you trying to learn multiple technologies.
