Took SCOR for the first time at the beginning of October and got 765/1000 so I buckled down and studied some more before taking it again. Did some more of the practice exams from Stormwind, read through some of the docs for areas I was less than experienced with, and also read a bunch of different posts from various others on r/ccnp. So glad I got it the second time!
Now on to SISE to complete my cert!

Congratulations. Were there any topics that surprised you?
I struggled with section 2 the most, but got 68-72% in the rest of them. Second time around was a big improvement on each section.
In addition to more study, i went into the test more calmly and spent more time on each question where I didn’t immediately know the answer.
Thank you I'll keep that in mind. I'm being lazy and also still trying to figure if i want to go through routing and switching or security. I should probably make up my mind.
I highly recommend focusing on routing and switch first, then going after security. Solid knowledge of routing and switching will go a long way even in security.
Thank you. I suppose I'll buckle down and get my enterprise certification first then.
I’m getting pushed towards security by my supervisor, as he desires that I achieve IAT III certification. Thinking about DevNet certs, and maybe Enterprise later, but that would be after a couple other sec certs.
Well you're getting pushed so that makes things easier. Well my company is trying to outsource my job it seems even though they promised they're not so i guess i should take that as a push.
IAT III certification.
You should look at the CISSP. Even if you don't have the work experience, the Associate of ISC2 status with passing the certification test is sufficient. FYI, it took me the same amount of time to pass the CISSP as it did to pass the CCNA.
The Associate of ISC2 CISSP will also nock out the IASAE I, and IASAE II.
I would then recommend the CEH to nock out the CSSP Analyst, CSSP Infrastructure Support, CSSP Incident Responder, and CSSP Auditor levels.
If you buckle down and hit the books, you could have both these certs before the middle of summer.
Congrats, nice achievement. I am also studying for the SISE exam to complete the CCNP Security. Want to take it end of November or first week of December. Got the OCG Premium eBook and already have two years of experience deploying and configuring ISEs in different environments (from the baby ISE PIC to large distributed deployments with a dozen nodes) but I totally don't know to expect from the exam. Am halfway through the OCG which I was able to access from 30th October. Unfortunately test exams will not register with my test prep engine or the online portal.
Anyone have any info on this particular problem? Cisco Press has not (yet) replied to my inquiry into why these test exams and bonus content are not showing up in my account.
Congrats my G 👌🏽
