Passed SWITCH on Sunday!! 945/1000

Study Materials Used:

SWITCH OCG & FLG <~ I like how they each give in-depth details about different aspects of the technology
Cisco Student Lab Manual
CBT Nuggets SWITCH <~ Jeremy's enthusiasm is contagious
My home switch lab (2x 3750, 2x 3550) (check out my blog for how to set up your own www.mill7r.com)
My ANKI flashcards (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/347088350) if you haven't used ANKI (its free) you should check it out and read about spaced-repetition learning.
Various labs found on GNSvault

Now on to tackle TSHOOT for the CCNP!

Congrats on your pass. Which cisco press book did you like more? Both have pretty bad reviews on amazon so I just went with the OCG one. I am kinda shocked at the size of it. I expected it to be a lot longer like the FLG Route book (currently studying for route).

jason_miller13

They both are way smaller than the ROUTE books!!! I tend to lean towards the OCG more than the FLG due to the writing style but think that because they go about explaining things in such completely different ways that they both deserve a read.

Okay thanks. Ill probably end up getting both since they are as you said both so short

Congrats and good luck on the TSHOOT. Just wondering, which one did you find easier - ROUTE or SWITCH? I know many things have to be put into the equation but still, I had to ask

jason_miller13

I found ROUTE to be easier, it has only 5 or 6 main categories and is easier to break them up and study one at a time. Also with GNS3 I could study anywhere anytime and quickly resume where I left off with the added benefit of people making more labs that I could just open up preset for GNS3.

I had my home lab for switch and could access it remotely but was a little harder on labbing because there isn't as many pre-made labs and some many different technologies.
