First of all, let me say that I feel your pain.
Secondly, let me suggest that now you know. As should everyone on this list.
Do not take this exam for granted. It is not that CID is hard. Or
necessarily tricky. It does require concentration on the LAN and WAN
sections ( half the test ) and how those protocols effect design
considerations. A quarter of the test is TCP. Again., one should review. The
rest of the test is broken up among several areas. It is no wise, in my
opinion, to concede any of them. SNA. Stratacom, Cisco design methodology.
Either the Padjen book or the Birkner book is a good place to start. Each
has weaknesses. Each has strengths. Neither alone is enough to pass, in my
estimation. Print out the exam objectives and use those to fill in the
holes.
Best wishes in your studies.
Chuck

Subject: CID Exam Fail
I don't know if anyone feels the same regarding this exam but this is quite
simply the hardest exam I have sat so far. That bad, that I am going on a
course, which will hopefully let me find what I am most obviously lacking.
I failed with 56% (pass mark 65%). Although only 9% I'm not too comfortable
about only knowing 56% of the material required.
A note to anyone who has sat this exam and the CCIE written, how do they
compare in hardness etc.
Chuck, I know how you feel now. You really have to give this exam the
utmost of respect.
Cheers
