ive only taken the BSCI, but the ciscopress books helped a lot. After CCNA, ciscopress is pretty much the only way to go.

You'd want to start with the Self-Study Guides that are available for the BSCI and BCMSN exams, and then move on to the Certification Guides.

For the ONT and ISCW exams you don't have any choice but to use the Exam Certificaiton Guides.

Check the CCNP FAQ for more book suggestions. If you're serious about learning (or are a closet CCIE hopeful) follow the suggestions about also using some of the CCIE books too.

And at the Professional Level you should get comfortable using the Cisco Documentation (some links are in the FAQ to get you started).

are you gonna go for ccie?

Yes -- I've already eaten lunch at both San Jose and RTP.

While I prefer San Jose, RTP is quicker and easier to get to/from, which is important since my Cat Sitter moved.

But I'm not thrilled with the "early start time" in RTP

Good to hear, although i have no idea what that means. I prolly have years of studying before I am ready, are you talking about test sites? ill watch the kitties in your mansion for a small fee.

He means that he has already attempted the lab twice. RTP and San jose are the two places you can take it in the US.

Can you bring your cat to the lab exams?
