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 ?

blork_98

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.

blork_98

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...

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.
