Have 220, studying for 214

Anyone out there taken the 214 yet? What's it like,
compared to 220? I'll be sitting the exam before the end
of the year, and it's been a while since I took the 220
(not a bad test, as I recall). I'm going for Security+ as
well (might as well get the :Security add-on while I can).

214 was a harder exam than I imagined but over 25% were easy enough to
guess by eliminating the wrong answers (leaving just one answer!!!)

The scenarios were wordy and hard to digest before choosing the
answers and there were a limited number of drag and drops too which I
wasnt prepared for.

The exam seemed definitely biased towards people with current
commercial experience of XP in preference to 2K Pro.

Also I believe that you could do worse that get familar with the
course material on 227 before you sit the exam - there must have been
4 or 5 questions on ISA too (in a security context).

this was for me a pretty good reflection of the topics that came up.

If you took 220 well, you are off to a good start. 214 is a good test. I
would recommend you consider getting the Syngress 70-214 book...


Best,
