Passed 640-801

I made it out of the testing center with a score of 910. Feels like a huge weight is off my shoulders.

My study method:

studied for 1 month

selftestsoftware.com
certsim
cisco packet tracer
Sybex book by Lammle (read twice)
network visualizer (routersim.com)
student curriculum on cisco.netacad.net
and of course techexams.net

Learn the test blueprint and verify you understand it. Read every bit of info you can until you truly understand it. Always review questions on practice tests and know why you got them right or wrong. Apply your knowledge by doing some hands on work. Learn to subnet in your head (helps a lot).

I would like to thank this forum for answering my questions, and for providing free study material.

good luck to all of the deadliners, and believe in yourself to make it happen!

Now you're just bragging

Go post some helpful hints, without violating the Cisco NDA, to help the less fortunate.

advice to all pursuing the cert.
know all topics covered on the test without a question. there is a lot covered on this cert and you need to know your stuff, not just for the piece of paper, but to know what you are actually doing.

I am planning to pursue MCSE or CCSP next, haven't totally decided. I work in a MS network environment, but we are ordering ASA's for our site and 2 remote sites (for vpn) so don't know where to start first. I think i'll hit an 03 server cert first then ccsp. Extra knowledge about AD would probably be the most beneficial to me right now.

Congrats!

Sounds like you have some good ideas on learning/certs. It's pretty hard to go wrong with Microsoft and Cisco. Our environment is almost totally M$/Cisco.

Good luck!
