Passed Written

Well, after 9+ months of study, I passed the CCIE R/S written exam today! So relieved, as it was a pretty tough test, and now I can look forward to the lab. Just to let you all know what I used, heres the list:

-Routing TCP/IP volumes I and II
-CCIE v4 Official Exam Certification Guide
-ALL of my CCNP books
-CCIE Routing and Switching Flash Cards (got these directly from Kevin Wallace's website for 25 bucks! He signed it and everything)
-Boson Test Engine
-Cisco.com
-Internetwork Experts CoD and lab books ( I bought the entire CCIE self-study package)

Do you have an estimate of how many hours you spent studying for written?

Oh man, not really. I was keeping track up to about ~150 hrs or so (i quit keeping track about 2 months ago)...but that time didnt include what I had spent on the CCIP either (which counts in my opinion). So i dont know really, I could estimate, but it probably wouldnt be real accurate. I had read everything twice, and had a little over 100+ pages in typed notes by the end of it, and I just had that..."Im ready feeling", so I decided to give it a go.

No idea...I want to take Narbiks camp in February in Texas, study some more, and then maybe take it again in June...so it will be later part of next year for sure. For now I have to catch up on my wifes "honey-do's" that she's let me out of for so long
