Without violation the NDA :) this is my short review of the exam:

It consists of 70 questions and you need to get 70% of them right (quite easy)

It’s possible to go back and mark for review! Incredible if you are used to Cisco Exams…

The usual questions are asked regarding the basic topics: rule creation and modification, NAT, CLI management and maintaining a Check Point solution (backup, monitoring, etc.)

For me, the boomer was more QoS questions than expected, specially critical if you used the “NGX R65 Security Administration” book to prepare the exam (which doesn’t contain a word about QoS :-/)

Anyway, this is an easy one if you have some experience (from 0 to 6 months) with the NGX R65, a VMWare image to play with and a good book. If you have any doubt… don’t. Go for it :)
