Tshoot tomorrow
So I had a couple free hours tomorrow due to a doctor appointment. With everyone passing tshoot by a landslide or failing terribly I thought I might take a crack at it.
I just finished the CBTNuggets for Tshoot and Routing TCP/Ip Volume 2 (volume 1 finished last month). I also built out the environment from Cisco's site as best I could. I probably should be taking this more serious than I am. Normally I put in 3-4 months per exam.. at least. But given SOO many people reporting near perfect scores I thought I had better check it out.
At the very least I'll know what I am up against better.
Any last second recommendations?

Here's a good demo from Kevin Wallace of what the exam is like.. gets you familiar with the exam and how you can navigate through the tickets!

Ready EVERY ticket scenario carefully.
Take your time. If a single ticket is giving you trouble, abort and move on to another one.
Good luck! -

Alright, NDA prevents me from sharing my score. BUT! Not perfect, but quite high. Without a doubt the easiest Cisco exam I have ever taken. If you can pass Route and switch you can pass this!
BUT! One trick, you NEED to know the topology. I HIGHLY recommend building it out at home at least twice. Memorize the subnet/ips/router names etc. They hardly gave me enough time, I finished with only 5 minutes to spare and I don't think I was ever "stuck" once. It was just that things take time to sift through.
So! Officially a CCNP!
Not sure I am going to return to any more certs for now. Stopped seeing value with my MCSE just didn't know where else to go. I might sit back and really learn a programming language and get into an opensource project.
Best of luck! Hit me up with any questions you might have.-Daniel -

Congrats! Did you watch the videos listed above? I was really curious on the abort strategy.WGU Progress BSIT:NA | Current Term:1 | Transfered To-Do In Progress Completed

Agreed. Make sure you know the L3 AND L2 topology -

I don't know. The experience isn't there to back up the cert. So I might be able to invest a year in that and pass. But I really wouldn't be able to back it up. Right now I am getting GREAT linux/scripting experience so I think I should leverage that. Honestly I banked a lot on doing the CCNP assuming I would get more routing/switching experience that never really came.Congrats! You're not interested in the voice/security track?-Daniel -

That makes sense...I'm probably going to end up doing the same thing after I finish the CCNP. Going to lay off cisco for a bit and learn powershell.
