This was a basic exam if you knew what you were doing. I considered this one a Brush up exam on security topics. I didn't do anything other then read the Cramsession for it and do some Boson Practice questions. 2-3 Days study. But if you don't know anything about security, you will need to read a book or two. Me VS CISSP in January.
