in CCNP
First of all, hi everyone :)

Been using these forums alot when studying, both for CCNA and the upcoming ISCW exam, so i figured i should start to be more active on the forums.

My plan is to finish CCNP in 2009. I work at a large ISP, so reading on some of the exams may be easier, due to experience from work.

My two questions would then be:

1. What exam should i take next? Im fairly strong at switching and routing (especially BGP), and I`m new to QoS and stuff like that.
Was wondering if I should just take the "easiest" exams first and then the hardest last, or vice versa..
2. The other question is, any good tips for my ISCW exam tomorrow? :)

Regards
Kristian, Norway

    Good luck on your exam tomorrow and welcome to the boards! :)

    I don't think there is any real right or wrong order to take the exams in. I started with ONT because at the time where I worked that was the most relevant exam to take. I've ended up going through the exams the opposite direction of most people, but it's worked out fine. I would say either, like mike said, tackle the one you consider toughest early on and get it out of the way or else keep going for whichever exam seems to interest you most at the time. I've found it interesting how no matter which exam I was working on, it seemed to relate back to something I was doing in real life at work, but I suppose that is kind of the point of these exams! :D

    Mostly Cisco Nework Academy pdf's and CBT nuggets. But labbing alot on some of the stuff, so actually cisco.com has helped me (clearly not enough on some bits).
