Passed the BSCI today

in CCNP
Finally, passed the BSCI today. Took three times, which I am not proud of, but finally cleared this one. Three weeks ago, I was prepared to shelve this exam and move on, thank for encouragment to push forward.
Picked up the Chris Bryant material (and immediately picked up 4 or 5 things, that some how escaped me. That and being able to see the exam three times, did not hurt.

Spent a total of 6 months to complete this exam.
Glad to be moving on the BCMSN.
I don't claim to be an expert, but I sure would like to become one someday.

    Congrats on the pass!

    Way to stick with it. I'm sure you know the material backwards and forwards after six months of study. That will probably help you better in the long run rather than passing the first time and moving on quickly.
    An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

    Congrats. You should be VERY proud of yourself. Great way to start the weekend! icon_wink.gif
    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    Wow, 100% on multicast, damn good job! I found the BCMSN to be a bit easier that the BSCI. Good luck!
