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!

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.
