CCIE is not easy whether it is written or lab. Passing a written exam is a passport to sit for a lab. CCIE written covers all the concepts. Most of the questions are scenario based which requires thinking. Question related to AD distance, I got it wrong. The way questions are put forward in CCIE written is different from CCNP. CCNP I think is more memorization, where as CCIE written requires analytical thinking. If it that easy, then there might be more than 100,000 CCIE. Ooh yes, if you purchase practice test then I am sure it is easy ;) When I studied for CCIE, I started with the "Routing First Step". Good foundation book, similar to college freshman or junior level book. I think Jeff Doyles book is more than enough to study for Routing and multicast section. For Switching, I would read Cisco website or LAN Switching by Clark Kennedy

But i will say that its very detriment to the study progress of your paying students to say something is easy. My written was V3, and i can clearly say that there are technologies being tested in a different fashion than on CCNP exams. Look at it from our point of view. I purchased a service from IPexpert (the BLS), to use for the entire path from CCNP -> CCIE. I failed the written once, and am now being told that the exam was easy and that it should have been a breeze. Okay, so now i must say my motivation to keep at it is at an all time low.

To: Kim Pedersen <[email protected]> Cc: CCIE_RS OnlineStudyList <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 I still think that CCIE written is easier than any CCNP exam - due to breadth vs depth like I said earlier.... If someone said to me "I bet you $100 to sit a Cisco exam of your choice above CCNA level, pass you get $100, fail you give me $100" I would choose a CCIE written for that reason. Others may choose differently as they may be an expert in a particular field or for whatever other reason... But thats my opinion... Maybe because with my job I need to stand in front of people and talk about all sorts of things and know the answer to any question I get... Everyone's different.

Look at it from our point of view, not having made it to the top yet. Then it might be alot harder than you make it out to be.

To: Matt Hill <[email protected]> Cc: CCIE_RS OnlineStudyList <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes I'm also a Cisco instructor with those same requirements and have passed many Cisco exams, CCIE written included. However, I can see how some people who become CCIE forget where they came from and what it was like when they started. This forum isn't about bragging how easy it is for you, it's about bolstering those that are still chasing the prize. Maybe this forum could use a little less CCIE input, except for those that still know how to relate to the realities of those newer than you are going through.
