Sounds like you got yourself a plan. Seeing as how you've already completed a pretty significant number of exams already, I'd say you know at about what pace you can go for new topics, you can gauge yourself in terms of how much you have to do to prepare, and what study methods work best for you.

I've got a pseudo-plan of my own, for tests I want to take in the coming months:

LPIC-1 (Probably in the next month, or so.)

LPIC-2

CCNA

The rest of the MCSE: Security (70-293, 70-294, 70-298, and 70-299)

Then on to tenatively work towards CCNP, but we'll see how long that takes, especially while I'm heading back to school.

I wish you luck on your nine-month plan, and on all your tests. Hopefully, these coming months will be only the beginning for you.

Sounds like you have thought this through! Looks good

Personally I would like to go:
CCNP - presently studying
JNCIA + P
CCVP
Server+

...The Illusive CCIE!

Im not sure after that but I failed the server+ a year ago and didn't take it any further because of lack of study material. I studied from the old stuff but when the new books come out here in SA I will finish it.

Good Luck - Hope you do well

Well from all of your posts that I've read I picture you as an intelligent and highly motivated individual. So if you don't make it, it won't be from a lack of effort or knowledge.

Personally I expect to see a post in 9 months with a completed check next to each goal.

Good Luck!!

Posts like these help me get motivated to start working on the CWNA again. Thanks.

Sounds like a tight schedule. A cert a month? In the next 9 months I hope to have my CISSP done then a refreshing CCNA recap. GL May I ask why the Server+?

Looks good.... but I think you should move the CCNA and CCDA to the top of the list.

All those in 9 months? nice I hope it all works out for the best

Munck

Good plan :P

My own is something like this:
BCCPA/BCCPP, CCSA/CCSE/CCSE+, NSA, CISSP and Perhaps MCSE: Security
Of cause, plans are subject to frequent change

Very nice...

Personally I am 100% focused on MCSE.

Only completed 70-270 and almost done studying for 70-290 so I have a long road ahead of me

drainey

You're welcome.

I started studying for the CWNA again last night. Plan to take it next month.

I would like to get my MCSE 2000 (one test away) and upgrade to MCSE 2003. If time permits, I would like to sit the CWNA exam too.

Sounds extremely ambitious. How do you manage to knock out a certification so quickly? What are your study tactics?

if you are capable of keeping up these speeds, i am extremely envious and impressed
