Finally booked and passed the Exam on Friday with a 9XX.
I was worried about this exam as I had lots of stops and starts in studying and did not really enjoy the content too much. That said, in the week leading up to the exam things did seem to fall in to place. The exam was not too bad but even after playing with SDM i spent a fair bit of time verifying things on the the sims so I would say play around with SDM as much as possible and verify configs. The format was very similar to the CCNAV and much easier than the CCENT and CCNA.
I used Cisco press CCNAS official exam book, CBT Nuggets and Train Signal DVD's. I found Train Signal very dry and much less relative than CBT. the Do I know this quizes in the book are very relevant too
.
I used a 2950 Switch to brush up on my switch commands (which is recomended
) and a 2621XM and 851W for the SDM stuff as per the CBT nuggets vids.
I have the wireless book and had planned to go down that route next more out of personal interest thanusefullnes of the cert.
Having seen that the CBT Nuggets Route DVD is released however, I am thinking I may go down that road instead, I am not 100% sure yet.
Good luck to anyone else doing the CCNAS and I hope you find it more enjoying than I did.
