Finished CCNP

Finished TSHOOT on Sunday. Feels good. I procrastinated way too much. Don't be like me!

The Boson ExSim-Max served me well, especially for TSHOOT. Highly recommend for exam preparation.
Reading - CCNP ROUTE/SWITCH simplified. The ROUTE book is good. SWITCH not so much. CLN, TE, other blogs, etc.
Videos - Chris Bryant. Great videos. Overkill for TSHOOT and BGP, but helpful nonetheless.
Labs - Used the official lab manuals, as well as Boson Netsim. I would NOT recommend buying Netsim.

Worth noting, I have 3 years experience in enterprise so most information wasn't new to me. I've already started reading OCG for CCIE. So much for taking a break from studying.

Good luck to everyone studying!

    Congrats icon_cheers.gif The CCIE road is long and lonely, best of luck!
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    Congrats! I wish there were test centers near me that are open on weekends.
    If at first you do succeed, try something harder.

    Hah, me too. I usually have to drive an hour plus to the Austin area to test on weekends.

    I've even considered opening up a shop that catered to evening and weekend testing, thinking it'd be good for working professionals, and I could probably staff it with college students or something.
