Received my voucher yesterday to take my FCNSA exam, the Fortinet Certified Network Security Associate. Too bad I still have to learn how to use the damned things huh? I’d also like to see a real sample of the exam, because I’m not sure what ballpark it’s in. A lot of people act like braindumps are cheating, blah blah blah, but for odd-ball and lesser known exams like this one, they’re nice to see how hard you have to study, and how the exam “thinks”. Just 1-3 questions would make me feel sooo much better. I did see one “exam”, but the answered listed in it were wrong, I forget exactly what it said, but the given answer said it “had to be C because you can’t do B”, never mind the fact that just a few HOURS before I was doing B.
And for the record, yes, I did think of doing a Bea Arthur joke, but decided aginst it. You’re all welcome. I also thought about making a joke about the “odd balls” above, but I think I’ll just save my ball jokes for later use.

Did you every take the Fortigate FCNSA exam? How did it compare to the braindumps? Were they pretty similar?
Thanks!

Yea, I did. Had my ass handed to me too. The actualtests sheets, no one I’ve seen on forums have recieved above a 56% on. The questions are dead on, but the answers are wrong. I ended up failing by 1 question, that threw off my entire game; I had my CCNP:Security I needed to get ready for, and after that crushing defeat, I wasn’t able to take any of the exams until my IPS exam, the simplest of the group.
Some of the fortigate questions, I have to wonder if there is a right answer. The DHCP question on it comes to mind, because two of the answers work on a real fortigate, so not sure what they want me to say.
