in CCNA & CCENT
Hi,
After my INTRO exam in November 2005, I finally passed ICND this morning with 869. Until I click on END EXAM, I can't guess if a must retake or not.
For exam I’m using:
- Cisco ICND Self-Paced: a dry book but contains mostly all I need for exam.
- Sybex CCNA 5th edition: even if this book is more fun to read then Cisco title, I find it less exam oriented.
- Find ICND more difficult then INTRO and some questions need not only good but complete understanding of routing protocols.
- Taking 5 days ICND course make HUGE difference. Like me, just enrol your boss to pay for this training (2500$).
- Use boson exams, I failed without this. You learn the ‘Cisco exam philosophy’ and you spot your weak area.
I’m must finish my CISSP now but after, I don’t know. Do you think I must complete my CCNP before beginning CCDA and CCDP ?

The CCNP helps with the CCDA and CCDP..... but probably not as much the other way around. I agree with what someone else (somewhere) had recommended -- do the DESGN/ARCH together. I took them 1 week apart. But since you need a couple of the CCNP courses for the CCDP.... hum.... do 2 of the CCNP courses... then do the DESGN/ARCH... then finish the CCNP.
Good luck with the CISSP!:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set!
