Congratulations and great job! Would you care to elaborate on your course a little more and how you went about studying for the exam? It would surely help out anyone else considering taking the course and/or exam. Again, nice work :)

Hi,

my exam preparation was:

my OSCP certification from offensive-security (the best preparation for me)
Certified Ethical Hacker Exam Prep (QUE 2006) a very good book
Security Warrior book

... and a small virtual lab at home

thanks
