F cisco for doing this bullcrap. looks like im gonna go with the short cuts until they release something at some time?! only other thing i saw was taking a course that gives me access to the tvoice material.. but who the eff is going do to that when your at the steps of the last test? really delaying me with my goals and keeping things on track.. i study when i can and to keep things sharp, and in memory, is a weekly process for me to study. waiting for a book or even a digital to be released without a date is bullshit.

I failed it the first time around and work ended up getting some room in the budget to allow me to take the official CIPT1 course. I was shocked when reading through the student guide of the official course. I remember seeing some of the CIPT1 test questions in the student guide almost verbatim. Needless to say I was able to pass shortly after the one week course. So I'm like wtf Cisco you mean to tell me I need to take one of those $3000 courses to have a legitimate shot at passing these new ccvp tests?? The rough cuts were useless

You must always bare in mind that the vendors tend to develop exams that are for the benefit of direct employees, resellers or organisations who are prepared to pay for expensive training.
