I passed the BCMSN

fonque

I took the test on 1/19 and failed with a 796
I took the test again on 1/25 and passed with an 864

I really did bad on voice and spanning-tree the first time around.
I felt strong in spanning-tree, especially since I deal with it so frequently on the job.

I went back and reviewed wireless, voice, and spanning-tree using documents from cisco.com <--- should have been doing this since day 1!!! It really made alot of things click.

I still cant believe, I used the cisco study guide, cbt nuggets, skillsoft, practice with real equipment, and then had to follow that up with cisco.com just get what I think is a mediocre score. Thats alright though, no one can say I dont know this stuff by now.

3 more of these to go.....yikes!

I am going after the BSCI next. I did the BCMSN first because it relates directly to my job. It was one of my performance objectives to pass it by 1/09.

Good job! Congrats

Congrats!

I found spanning tree to be difficult too, mostly figuring out how all the different versions inter-operate (or don't). Wireless wasn't a walk in the park either, I doubt many people have a WLC to lab that stuff up.

Which exam are you doing next?

Congrats!!!

I'll probably delay my BCMSN until I need it to renew my CCNA

But I know why you are saying yikes

Once you pass the first CCNP exam, you only get three years to pass the next three

Three years can sound like a long time, but none of those exams look easy to me so I'm a little gunshy

Congrats again and good luck on the next one!

Thanks, my plan is to have my CCNP complete within 2 years. I am taking a break now to get some household business taken care of, then I will be going after the next 3 all in a row.

Congrats! I think everyone gets knocked around a bit on their first CCNP exam...it's a big difference from the CCNA! This one is my next goal after I complete the CCNA-Wireless. I'm hoping all that wireless study gives me a head start and that I can then concentrate on the switching.
