Throwing down the SWITCH gauntlet on 3-30-12
I am finally ready to take SWITCH on. I still feel like I could study more in a few areas which i'll be doing over the next few days, but if I push it out any more, it will just be procrastination and not (hopefully) lack of preparation. My study material consists of:
Books: OCG, FLG, Various Cisco Docs and Study Blogs
Video: CBT Nuggets
Lab: 2x3550, 2x2950, IOU and GNS3
Practice Questions - Boson EX-SIM MAX and OCG questions.
Lastly, over 1500 flashcards I created from the various sources and put into Mnemosyne.
I was gonna take it next Monday, but i have to go on a road trip for work so I would rather take it and be done and focus on TSHOOT and finally CCNP!

Cisco was my first networking love, but my "other" router is a Mikrotik...

Wave, sorry to say, you just missed the $10 sale for the ROUTE OCG.
(Personally, I did not buy the ROUTE OCG, because I feel the ROUTE FLG is an awesome book and covers plenty!)

Vinbuck, you sound incredibly prepared. Should be a piece of cake.
PS - Hopefully, you checked out the Switch OCG author's website, to review the exam content not in his text.
I just got the FLG in the mail. I've been through the EIGRP and OSPF sections for OCG already. I'm hoping for a better experience. I'll start to read through it, but I already like how "MPLS" is a more mentioned technology in this book, just by glancing at the few pages. I have high hopes.
Whose the hottie on the front cover?
I thought that the OCG ROUTE was big. This is biggerer.

@OP: Best of luck with SWITCH.
Good luck to you on the SWITCH exam. You can do it.
Rogue,
I have often wondered why I don't run into more IT people that look like the one on the cover of that book.
I had that same thought. Followed quickly by, if that's Diane Teare, I wonder if she's single! Alas, she is not.

Three days to go and counting...
I did download the guide and have reviewed the material. Most of it I was able to brush up on using the FLG, so it wasn't entirely new. I'll probably give it one more read through before I take the exam.
"Once more unto the breach, dear friends..."
Awesome, go knock it out of the park!
