thanks tent96.. man ur certs r impressive, i wished I started doing certs while I was still in college

uhh.. yeah, Im thinking of starting the CCNP exams next... but Im startin a job next week, so i think it'll be a while before i can take the first CCNP
exam..plus this job is not related to cisco stuff.. its more of RF Engineering, but I do hope to somehow get some experience with Cisco hardware cuz i really wanna try to get the ccnp.... should i start with the BSCI exam first?

btw.. any suggestion on study materials? Im thinking of buying cisco press stuff cuz i got this 40% off voucher for ciscopress.com.. thnx for the info

i would say hold off.. right now cisco is in the begining process of updating all of the professional tracks, from the constant emails i get from them.. i would check their site and verify how long tests have to live and plan off that

Congratulations.

How did you prepare for the exam ? Any notes/comments on the exam itself ?

hey keenon.....

where does it say that the NP/DP/IP track was gonna be updated.. i didnt see any mention on the link u sent.. besides, they have just released new versions of the CCNP exam cert guides............ but thnx for the heads up..

well.. the only book i used was the CCDA self-study guide by Diane Teare and the trancender practice exam( which is not a good idea to buy)..go for boson instead

umm... regarding the exam.... there were several testlets w/ multiple q's... so know ur tech/org goals/comstraints... and know the details in the diane teare book..... i didnt and had to guess

Uggghhh (loathing sigh), I decided to do this exam next instead of diving into CCNP, but man, all this stale orginizational stuff just blows

I am going through a CBT right now covering this topic and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I like technology, not organizational mumbo jumbo

Congrats BTW.

Get the Diane Teare book......... its all ur gonna need........ and most of the chapters are easy reads

johnnynodough

Thats the book I have on the way, in the interim I am going through the CBT's. I have to complete them to get my vouchers payed for so, meh, i can tolerate them. There actually pretty good, there put togther by Cisco.

u should also consider the flash cards, i found them really useful so that I would not need to go thru the teare book... it was also VERY helpful in the exam...

bjork congratulations on the pass

If all you are studying is the book by Anthony Bruno, I would suggest getting another book. I took the CCDA and failed it miserably just using that book. The post earlier mentioned Transcender and how they sucked for this test, I have to agree. They test on a lot of different things than the actual exam. I would get the book mentioned in an earlier post of this thread or the thread above it. I dont have it handy to look at the author but I have since past the DA with a 925.
