Passed ROUTE!

Passed route today. Scored in the 800's thought for sure I would be in the 900's based on my answers but a pass is a pass.

I took the Route course through Global Knowledge and also uses CBTNuggets, OCG, GNS for the labs and Cisco labs that came with the Global Knowledge course.

I thought the exam was the toughest I've taken to date, that being said it was fair.

Onto Switch now. My Digi CM32 came in the mail today which was perfect timing. Time to start reading,watching and labing

Congrats, Route is a tough exam so hats off to you.

Thanks everyone!

The plan is to finish Switch by end of December and then have all of January to prepare for TSHOOT.

I've been working on Route for 2 hard months, and I have a pretty solid grasp on Switching, so I'm hoping I can get in under the wire. If not I'm not to worried.

I did write ICND2 the last week the old exams were open, I'm sensing a pattern

Congrats! If you do SWITCH by the end of December, with all that knowledge still fresh - TSHOOT should be a piece of cake. Good luck!

Congrats - so from start to finish you reckon you'll be done with CCNP in 4 months? That's some going mate!! Roughly how many hours are you putting in each day/week?

Great stuff mate, I'm setting my CCNP target for the same date as you! Plan on finishing NP Switch start of December and study TShoot through December and January. Will be keeping tabs on your progress

Passed SWITCH today.

I found the questions and material a bit easier than ROUTE but I thought the SIMS were a bit harder.

Overall pretty happy. Now time to get the TSHOOT lab set up. Two down one to go!

Congrats! Have you booked your Tshoot yet?

sucanushie

not yet... but I'm thinking of booking it for the 23rd.
All depends on how my Route review goes.
