BSCI

I took BSCI today and I didnt pass. I Received 744, passing is 790. It was my first attempt at it. I did worst on EIGRP and BGP.

Sims were cake.

I used CBT nuggets, cisco press exam cert guide, and Transcender.

I feel that if I re-read the cisco press chapters and re-watch the nuggets, I will pass on the next attempt. I'll let y'all know.

Do the other 3 exams get easier after BSCI? Also, which do you recommend I go for after BSCI?

They do, although since GUI and security are not my cup of tea I thought the ISCW was just as hard. The BCMSN and ONT I thought were cake compared to the BSCI.

The difficulty is relative to your understanding of the material and no one else can really give you a good idea of how hard it will be for you.

Personally I found the BSCI to be the easiest of the exams so far (BCMSN, BSCI and ISCW). It was the exam most related to the work I was doing at the time I was studying so every thing was interesting and I learned a lot of practical stuff I could apply on a daily basis so I guess the material stuck. I found ISCW to be the hardest because I wasn't very interested in the SDM and it was hard for me to stay focused.

try to read the study guide instead of the exam guide as it is more detailed

It took me roughly 5 days to recover mentally after passing the BSCI.. it's meant to be hard even if you work with it everyday.. though if you have worked with the stuff for *YEARS* then naturally it won't be as bad.

The BCMSN was a lot easier for me. Although, this all depends on your prior experience and what you find more interesting as previously mentioned. I like mls a lot so that kept me interested.
