Well im not ashamed to say this first outting did not go too well. Man, after installing a pair of 6500's at the weekend i felt on such a high...and now i have been knocked off my perch
Finished with 788. So only one or two questions away but i still would not have been saitisfied if i just scrapped by. My switching was solid - it was my weak area's i knew about in advance which caught me. Wireless & Voip.
As i knew in advance about this i made sure i knew the topics in the book well and then backed them up with cisco docs & nuggets. i mainly studied the exam cert guide by hucaby however i borrowed the self study guide from a friend too. But most of the questions on both of these sections werent covered in any of the bcmsn material i have seen. many seemed you to know facts and figures too. So some of the questions seemed like i was defeated before i even looked at the answers! i cant go into detail obviously but its so frustrating looking back. All i can say is hands on with wireless felt a must for this exam from my taking.
Few things on the exam - i really felt cisco struggled to explain the questions and the way they were put across were quite poor. Time management should be considered as always.
Im not sure what to do now. i scheduled this out of the blue the other day (possibly the wrong decision looking back
) but the next 4-6 weeks are pretty important in my uni timetable. So i dont know if taking this again soon would be the best option.
What do you guys think? should i wait until after my uni coursework/exams. Any suggestions on material used?
More importantly how have people who struggled with wireless etc filled the gaps for this exam? From the questions i had i can only see buying some kit to fill the void but i would prefer not to at the minute for cash flow reasons.
