Just to update this thread with my CCDP recert story. Today I surprisingly passed the exam. I scheduled the exam as a "recce" (to just see it) and guage where I was for further study.
I had gone once through the Boson CCDP practice but I felt I needed to see the real thing since I had problems with the CCNP recert. So what I'm saying is that without much specific CCDP study, I passed with 829, pass is 768. With more study a higher mark probably could have been had - but, it's over now! Most of the previous comments on the exam are accurate except Priscilla mentioned that there wasn't any BGP. I had at least 6 BGP questions - which wasn't a problem with my study from the CCNP recert. The material is OLD. Many design ideas would not be considered today. Anyway, I'm good for both CCNP/CCDP for another 3 years.

No BGP or IS-IS for example. SNA and StrataCom though! Oh > boy! :-) > > Priscilla > > > > > > Good luck..
