Hi Jose,
You do not need Testking to pass, if you have the appropriate knowledge and if you have a couple of years of experience. I have taken this exam and I felt, the questions were too unprecise to conclude if the candidate has good knowledge or not.

I passed this exam at the first attempt, but I know IPSO since version 3.3 or so. Besides, my score was not 100% because there were some rubbish question that I cannot even memorize them.

I am support engineer for Check Point with Nokia and I know IPSO besides of dynamic routing configuration, which were not demanded by our customers. They are using Cisco as a router and CP as a Firewall.

I have done this exam 3 times and to be quite honest other then Nokia Partnership status then exam is pretty pointless as some of the questions in there are just so easy. Although to be fair it is better then it used to be.

I just turn up without revising and pass the thing in about 50-55 minutes, 20 minutes through the questions and 30-35 to make sure read the questions properly. Get around the mid to high 70's which is more then enough to pass.

If you work with Nokia's and some generic routing then you should be able to easily pass the exam.

The hardest part is suspending your belief that Nokia make you do this exam.

Hardly anyone ever bothers specifying the cert as a requirement when looking for candidates, so don't worry about getting a high score, they never ask anyway.

I passed this earlier today. It's not as easy as some people on here are making out, and some of the questions are worded very oddly. I've got 7 years experience with IPSO and felt that without my recent (well 18 months) CCNA I would have struggled with some of the routing questions - which is probably 15-20% of the exam. I did the Foundation/HA and Connectivity course this week as well.

I did buy the recent testking and after initially thinking it was rubbish (some of the answers are plain wrong) it probably saved me from a retest, some of the exam content is not covered in the course.
