    Congrats, it's probably the 2nd or 3rd most difficult of the Voice exams. Being proficient with gateways and CUBE is imperative to being a solid Voice Engineer. IMO CUBE and SIP Trunking isn't covered enough in the track.

    Yea! 2 down , 3 more to go!

    In my opinion, i think Cvoice was easier than CIPT1.

    Would you guys agree?

    First, congrats!

    CVOICE easier than CIPT1? No way unless CUCM is brand new to you. I think CIPT1 was the second easiest exam in the track behind CAPPS. The next two are tough, CIPT2 is the hardest IMO. Save CAPPS for last. You don't need any Unity Connection or CUPS knowledge that isn't in CCNA Voice for TVOICE.

    Thanks.

    No I’m not new to CUCM, however, my hands-on experience with Media Resources and Features management is minimum.
    It seemed like there was a significant amount of questions from the Media Resources and Features section. :D

    Congrats, TVOICE for sure. Save CAPPS for the end, it's a very easy exam.
