That reference might be to me. Three of the four tests can be taken in a
combination form, called Foundation of Routing and Switching. It costs $200
as opposed to a total of $300. Exam 640-509. I took the support 640-506
and the Foundation test on the same day and passed both. The nearest testing
center is over an hour away, so one trip and a $100 savings vs. four trips
seemed like a good way to go. There is some overlap in material between
the three core CCNP exams, so if you feel ready it can be a smart move as
many concepts are repeated among the three sections. It's a long stretch,
however. About 200 questions in 2 1/4 hours.
As far as "never picked up a book until that morning", that is NOT the case,
at least for me. I've been CCNA for over a year and put in quite a bit of
time studying and preparing. I also am the senior network administrator for
a group of regional ISPs (common ownership), so I have a lot of on-the-job
experience.
I'm also pursuing CCIE, passed the written when it was beta (squeaked by)
and have attempted the lab. I did the CCNP primarily for confidence
building in pursuit of CCIE, as it seems most pursue them in that order.
I will try the two tests I need for CCDP on the same day as well, 640-441
CCDA and 640-025 CID Design.
