Lab Manuals

Has anyone heard anything about new Lab manuals for the New CCNP test? I was considering just picking up the lab manuals for the old test because I haven't heard anything.

From what I have seen of the BSCI and Route certification guides, there appears to be so much overlap I would say yes, get the old lab manuals. Can't speak for Switch & BCMSN yet, I've not even opened the books.

Are you making a start on the CCNP yet?

I hear ya Dawg!!! You just keep right on truckin' without taking a break! My Hero definitely. I'm kinda stuck in a rut over here in the CCNA-Sec side. Sounds like you may be going down the NP track now, is that the case? I figured you would be going SP track???

Well it depends. I want to do the NP AND the SP. If I get the job that I interviewed for then I will almost need to pick up NA:V immediately then NA:W and NP. SP (At least to me) seems to be a less defined (in the since of books, lab manuals, and general material) than the NP, probably because the SP has changed quite a bit faster than the other test. I need to get back into the studying mood but is has been kind of tough (friend in the hospital among other things). I need to get back on track.

CCNA:S was fun man you can get it done.

I probably will just pick up the old ones. They seem good.
Making a start hmm....I won't say that just yet. I need to find what what is going to happen with this job first. I know they wanted NA:V badly (apparently the voice guy is like 1 month backed up with tickets) so after that I probably will do Route (and pick up NA:Wireless) and pick up S+ and L+ towards the end of the year (if at all). I changed my mind about a few things I have decided that I need to pick up the NP sooner than I originally thought so it will be on my to do list. I will probably make a real run towards the NP in June (the authorized books come out in June). So it could be that I pick up NA:V, S+ and L+ between now and then or it could be that I just pick up NA:V. Who knows...This week is important for me.

IF (big IF) possible, I might try to pick up Route and Switch this year. It really just depends on how much material I can cover with school classes as well.
