I met a CCNP the other month who was HEAVY into working with routers, etc. and so I asked him how long it took him to pass. He told me it took him 2-3 years. Like eniac's case though, I have heard of people flying by some of these exams. I suppose that if I put in 6 hours a day, maybe five days a week, I might also be able to do it, but my current schedule is something around 1-2 hours a night, maybe 5-6 days a week. I know I should probably crank this up to 3 hours a day and 6 days a week, which is the routine I am sliding into slowly. I am planning to take this exam hopefully this summer. I will never post the exaxt time, nor tell anyone, not even my wife when the exact test date it. I believe all it does is add pressure to the exam. If I ever take the CCIE lab though, I am sure I will need to explain it to a lot of people, like my employer. There is no way I can cover up going to Sydney Australia, which is where I plan to take it since it is one of the closest places to me. I have been there before also and I am familiar with the area.

If you think social life is overrated, its because you never had a decent one in the first place. heh.

I don't think 2 months sounds like too short a time at all...

This was back a long time ago but I was averaging about 1.5m per test...

It looks like it took me 6.5 months from the first day I opened my first CCNP test book until I passed my 4th one to get that damn cert locked up. If I remember correctly I'd spend about 2 hours max per night reading and studying. Maybe like 5 days a week. I just think it depends on how you study and how well you retain the information.

2-3 years sounds like the person who was doing it just read 5-10 pages a day. I forget which one of those is the BCMSN though (Routing, Support, Switching, or Remote Access). Unless the tests have gotten 50x harder over the past 6 years I think 2 months is a good time frame.
