Passed 642-892 Composite

I passed the Composite on Sunday February 1st. I found that the test wasn't too bad. 66 questions on routing and switching. I got an 895, which wasn't too bad considering I only spent 5 days really studying. It helped that I do routing and switching every day at work.

Now onto ISCW and ONT. Hopefully by the middle of the month.

Very nice! The composite exam doesn't sound like something to be taken lightly. And to spend only 5 days of studying.. even more impressive.

Congratulations!

CCIE anywhere in your future?

What did you use for your study materials?

Cherper

I read the BCMSN and BSCI Self-Study books from Cisco along with the Quick Reference Sheets for the test. I also pounded away at the Transcender for the Composite.

As I said, I do pretty much do routing and switching all day. I also do a bunch of wireless implementations so it wasn't too bad.

ONT and ISCW should be a bit of new material as I don't do much with QoS or MPLS. I am reading the quick reference and the books.

Well done Cherper. Seems like ages since I saw your username. Was it icertify? Good luck with the rest of it.

It was iCertify. I read here occasionally, but real life limits participation.

Cisco Press. Here is a link.

They just hit the highlights, so they won't get you through the test, but they will help you focus your study.

Good work man. Glad to see I'm not the only freak who took/passed the composite. Knock out the ONT and ISCW quickly, then take the QoS exam and the BGP/MPLS composite. You can net two professional level certs with minimal effort if you keep it up. I did BSCI+BCMSN composite -> ISCW -> ONT -> QoS -> BGP+MPLS Composite. You have already taken 2/5 of the CCIP and the ONT and QoS share so much information it's sick. It's practically like being 3/5 of the way done with one test to go. Keep up the good work Cherper.

Did ISCW yesterday and passed with a 901. I am scheduled for the ONT on Wednesday.

I just ordered the QoS book today and it should be here by Friday, just in time for romantic reading to the wife

Minimal exams, maybe. But it's definitely not a minimal effort -- composite exams or not!

Seriously, I'm still laughing!
