Getting Nervous (BCMSN) Dec 23 UPDATE PASSED!!!!

liven

Sitting the test on the 23 of Dec.

I have gone through the offical self study book, and lab manual. CBT's and lots of practice labs. I also have been working on a very large layer 3 switched network (7 pairs of redundant 650x switches) for a living. I do lots of config, ACL, vlan, port channel etc stuff daily at work.

Somethings I feel very prepared for, other things I just don't...

Done a lot of non cisco wireless and voip over the years, but it is not translating to cisco as much as I would have hoped....

I have been getting consit 80% or high on the practive exams that are included on the cd that comes with the cisco book... Hopefully by friday of next week I can be hitting around 90 to 100%...

If anyone has any suggestions for my last week of study let me know. I plan on continuing to go over the computer flash card/quiz that came with the cisco book. As well as some labs on my home network every day till the test...

Wish me luck

The ONT study material has a lot of good information on wireless and voice. Not sure if you have completed ONT yet or not, or have already pruchased the study material. May a good use of a couple of hours of study time if you have access to the material.

Good luck liven!!

Are you counting the BCMSN as one of your presents to yourself?

Good luck...I just took the BCMSN yesterday, was tough, but easier than I thought. Just make sure to review any topics you feel a little weak on. I spent the week before the exam just reviewing notes and some last minute detailed research.

Between study time and your experience I'm sure you'll kick its butt

liven

Man I love this forum!!!

Thanks guys..

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when I get close to test day I kinda get all nervous and wig out when reviewing if I can't puke up every last detail.

Plus with this test I kind of feel that the dept of wifi and voip should be on a different test.... Not trying to complain, but that is just how I feel.

Other than my complaing, THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!!

Hopefully everyone is having a great holiday season.

Best of luck!

That was a VERY difficult test. I do feel that it was a little unbalanced... The cisco books are 3/4 switching stuff ( i.e. non wireless/voip).. but the test doesn't really reflect that... Could be I got a "special" test.... Anyway it is done.

i got a 909... And I am very surprised that i did that well. I was getting nervous as the test progressed.

Anyway it is over and I will be moving on to BCSI. My goal for that is end of March very beginning of april (my first child is expected around april 15). So I figure it would be in my best interest to get it done before then.

Thanks to everyone that supported me and thanks goodness it is over!

Excellent work, Well done!

Well once I got the flux capacitor part down it was pretty easy, the time machine stuff that is.

Yes I decided to move the test date up because I was sick of studying and I wanted to spend some quality time with my wife before the holidays passed me by.

Congratulations...I bet it feels good to get such a great early Christmas present! Hopefully I'll be joining the celebrations on monday...I'm starting to have exam material-related dreams, which is always a good sign. LOL!
