CCNP 300 series study material??

duckwood

I passed my CCNA back in June 2012, so I'm approaching the 3-year recertification mark and am considering both CCNA Security as well as CCNP.

As I was looking at CCNP, I noticed that in January they are retiring the 642-xxx exams and only allowing the 300 series. As such, I started looking specifically for books that followed the 300 series exams so I study the right topics. Unfortunately, my search turned up null with any (reputable) material for the 300 series. Should I just get a 642-xxx official guide and then research the new topics myself? Or do you know of any good books/material for prepping for the 300 series exams?

Or, should I just try to pass the 642-xxx's before the end of the year (I think 4 months should be enough time to pass at least 1-2 of the exams, but I want to make sure I understand the new topics that the new series covers)?

Thanks in advance

You could study for the current switch exam since it contains the same stuff as the new one does plus some extras (e.g. some wireless).
