Ready to set test date

i have a stinging question .. i'm almost at my cut off and would like some opinions on which testing route to take 2 test or 1 test? i have been studying on a pretty regular schedule.. i'm doing very well on transcender and some of the online tests i take as well.. running a little low on the test out test sim but otherwise i feel pretty good. i'm comfortable with ACL, VLAN, subnetting, router/switch configs, LAN/WAN stuff and the other areas.. i been hitting the areas where i feel i'm weak in constantly and getting those up.

    If you are good with the intro stuff take the 1 exam because if you do not so good on some of the harder stuff the easy questions make up for it. atleast that is the way i am looking at it

    If you're ready to take it all at once, take the one exam option, it's cheaper for one, and gets it out of the way. It's really a matter of what you're comfortable with. If you think you're ready for everything at once, take the 801. Otherwise take the 811 and 821

    I'm holding off due to a few uncertainties with ISDN, Frame Relay, and 1900 vs 2900 commands....every time I thing I've got it, I get hosed on the switchport truck interface subcommand and vlan database....the funny thing is, it probably won't even be in the test I take, but I want to now it inside and out, so I'm holding off until March. I don't like spending money for nothing and I haven't failed a cert test yet....never been inside a casino!!

    Here's an omen for you: if you know how often routers exchange LMI information with a Frame Relay switch, then go for it!!!

    Rock on Brother!!

    I would like to take this exam soon, I think I am prepared all except for the above. How about you Keen ?

    All the best Keenon,

    A question about booking, do we need some sort of Cisco ID before we book?? I read somewhere that we do but im not sure. Hope im wrong and its nothing complicated.

    Also in the test itself, what can we take in/cant take in etc??
    Im a newbie.... please be easy on me.

    I think you only need a cisco ID if you have already taken a Cisco test before.
  • keenonkeenon Member Posts: 1,922 ■■■■□□□□□□

    Hmm So how does one go about getting this Cisco ID? or is it a case of you getting the ID supplied to you when you book for the test?

    Thanks in advance. Btw Keenon how did your test go??

    If you don't have one, the first time you register for an exam, you'll get one. The only thing I had to supply was my academy connection ID, and that for my discount voucher
