    I took the exam about two years ago, and it did not reflect the course in the least bit.
    Judging by the recent replies, the format hasn't changed much.

    If you wanna pass the exam, read the brain dumps and a few books.

    If you're very serious about security, and willing to learn the "bad guy" perspective, take the class.

    Honestly, and I've said this before, the knowledge I've gained in that week-long class was more than I could've hoped to learn on my own in two years.

    When you have two instructors with a combined security knowledge of more than thirty years, it kinda speaks for itself.

    Your other option.
    Find a cracker who's not in jail.
    Ask him/her to teach you.

    Good luck convincing him/her that you won't use the skills in a law-tampering manner, or that you're not with government.
