Passed BSCI: 916/1000

Score: 916 / 1000

EIGRP: 100%
OSPF: 66%
ISIS: 100%
IOS Routing Features: 77%
BGP: 88%
Multicast: 100%
IPv6: 88%

I passed first go, studied for like 7 months with about 6 - 8 hours a week.
I mainly just used my lab, Cisco website and the Authorized Self-Study guide.
I managed to buy the Trancender exam for half price so that also helped a bit.

Now for the exam,
Expect lots of multicast, lots of very long questions with diagrams and configs, and be prepared for random questions about topics which you probably never seen or heard of before.

Now its time to relax until Cisco put out their official notice about the new CCNP track and look at my options. Sounds like it may be BCMSN followed by TSHOOT, but who knows.

Yeah its alright.. Obviously not as difficult as the real thing, but it did help me. I'd rather buy transcender than CBTnuggets.

Congrats on the pass. Any recommendations for someone that is starting to prepare for the BSCI now?

Start getting into debugs. Go beyond the textbooks because they don't cover everything. Don't neglect the Cisco website.
