I've heard really good things about the "exam cram" for solaris 9. I'm thinking of getting it to help me prep for the tests. I've seen it online for as low as ~20.USD
I recently took a week long training on "solaris 9 for experienced unix admins" and have their books, which have some decent hands-on exercises for any simulations that might come up, but as for details they're a little sparse.
I also have the Solaris 9 boot camp book,which I like as a quick and dirty guide to some of the basics, but I don't know how good an exam guide this would be.
I'd appreciate the people taking the test posting their results back here. The last cert tests I took were for Microsoft w2k stuff and I found those pretty easy to pass with about 2 weeks of concerted study. I don't think these Solaris test'll be much harder, but I'll sure be as prepared as possible...any help appreciated.
