I would love to type up a whole hoopla, but don't have the time.Work, holidays, and cramming for the SY0-201 before it expires are taking priority.
So, just a quick note. I took the Network Academy classes at my local B&M, then went on to self study for a few months, and took the exam 2 weeks ago. I failed that first attempt after running out of time. I chalk up to first time Cisco exam jitters. The second exam I passed, finishing in 2/3rd the allotted time (like I had in the Boson exams). Between the B&M and my self study I managed to pick up a lot of study material. Way too much frankly.
My sentiments on study material follow closely with Instant000's post you can
see here (+ respect for that ).
ETA- it tells me I have to spread the respect love around first, but I owe you for the post!
