Well, as someone said on this forum not so long ago. "Passed is passed"
I passed this morning with 84%. Very disappointing considering all of the prep I did for this one.
Just to blow off some steam I would like to say that some of the questions were very ambiguous.
For instance:
What does CSS stand for? -
everyone knows in web design context it is Cascading Style Sheet and in security context is Commercial Secure Server. Both options were offered and no qualification of the context was offered.
Also I was shown a paragraph of Java script and asked "what would this do?" Exam Cram from Coriolis left me high and dry in that area.
I would like to thank all the great brains that discuss on this forum- Freak, Peterkett, Brownie, Crescent, Gareth etc etc..

Congrats on your pass. 
In my opinion on the CSS, I think that the answer they want is Cascading Style Sheet.
What's next than?

I don't quite know what is next. I was hoping for some input from you guys.
I know the usual suggestion is CCNA but I have no access to high-level equiptment, I work full time (about a zillion hours a week) in my own private school teaching something completely IT unrelated so I wouldn't even have time to visit classes even if they were offered here in the IT boondocks.
My goal is a career change within 3 to 9 months so I think I will keep up my self taught certification binge. Maybe MSCE (even though they are a "dime a dozen" )
Any advise would be appreciated.

PS: Exam Drill was a great help.

Brownie, my friend, if I could take the exam over in one hour from now I would go back to a thread I posted on this forum about two weeks ago about Client/Server side scripting and take what ThisChick and Bob R. say to heart.
I wish you lots of luck.

great job buddy! I am pumped for you.
I agree that a passs is a pass.
CCNA w/ out taking a class is tough. I don't recommend it.
MCSE? then make sure to have a couple of machines running the OS and play as much as you can...
Let me know if I can help...

trebor congratulations! I know what you mean by ambiguous questions, especially the Java script one (never did figure out what the correct answer was, but I think it has something to do with copyright - who knows).
Yes most people say go for CCNA next, but my instructors advised to do Network+ first just to get a solid foundation from which I could go on to CCNA. They weren't just trying to sell me another course, they just didn't want me to start something that could be very difficult to finish unless you have the network basics. So maybe you could start with that, then go to CCNA or MCSE or whatever else you might be interested in.
