BSCI Scheduled

1st attempt will be on the 21st. I will not be quite ready, but I have three vouchers that have to be used by June 6. The other two I will use on the 28th and June 4th.

I was planning on taking it "for real" at the end of June at Cisco Live, but since I can't schedule the test more than once, I will have to risk that I can get a seat after my last "practice" attempt.

Good luck man

I'm super jealous of you going to Live. Every year I put that in our department budget and every year it gets denied

After about 15 or so certification exams, I finally failed one. 630 needed 790.

I am surprised I did as well as I did for as under prepared as I was. I got stuck on a SIM and fell so far behind I had to just random answer some of the longer questions, probably about 10 in all so I could see them all.

I will try again next week and should be much better prepared, but I am still not sure I will be there.

Ah -- that explains it

Good Luck pulling it together for your next shot

I spent some time this weekend labbing that SIM and working through the logic, and I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong. It was really simple, but they way Cisco put it together made it confusing, but it was a good learning experience none the less.

Good luck on your next attempt!

Ok today I got a 732 out of 790. Last week I had labed and reviewed about 20% of the topics, as of last night I have gotten up to around 50%. That's 100 points better then last week and I did not even do two of the sims. Of course they were on areas that I have not reviewed and I knew I would waist all my time working through them.

Except for Sat I will be studying all weekend

Here is what I need to review and lab, Routing Optimization, DHCP, BGP, Multicast and IPv6. Hopefully I will nail the exam next Friday.

I have finally tackled the Beast, Passed with a 821

All that is left is TSHOOT. I will try to get this one done at Live which gives me right at 4 weeks to study.

Awesome man! That was the same score I had.

On my 2nd attempt. First time was only failed by 7 points. Awesome job! Good luck on TSHOOT studies. I highly recommend getting a hold of the topology and labbing it from the ground up. The exam cert guide isn't going to do you much justice for this exam to be honest with you.

Congrats! There's a lot of information on this exam, so taking a couple tries is definitely common.

What's your layover time frame for your TSHOOT?

I have the kids this weekend, and I am so sick of studying. But since I only have four weeks till my Live scheduled exam, I'll start on Monday.

When do you plan to test? What's your goal?

Someone told me that exams are free at Live if you schedule them in advance. Confirm/deny?

I am scheduled to take TSHOOT on July 1st at Live. I hope it's enough study time for a pass.

Yes, you get a promo code when you register and you get to take a free Cisco exam in a Vegas casino

. Time slots are limited so its a first come first serve.
