test (my first
CCNP

> The Breakdown:
> 61 questions, 75 minutes, need 690 (on a scale of
300-100) to pass.

> Section Analysis:
> Routing Principles (not so many questions)
> Extending IP Addresses (not so many questions)
> Configuring OSPF in a Single Area (tons of
questions)
> Interconnecting Multiple OSPF Areas (alot of
questions)
> Configuring EIGRP (not so many questions)
> Configuring Basic Border Gateway Protocol (tons of
questions)
> Implementing BGP in Scalable Networks (not so many
questions)
> Optimizing Routing Update Operation (a few
questions)
> Implementing Scalability Features in Your
Internetwork (a few
questions)

does it do

(e.g., updates,
hellos,

route selection
criteria,

routing,

great. Or buy Cisco

that you don't
fully

Press book, ACRC
Cisco

Cisco Press book,
and

> Practice Tests (do after you think you're done
studying for the
test):
> 1. Boson (I bought test 3, which has some lu lu's on
there,
especially
quiz

test 3 had 204
total

over and over, but
that's

Test 1, 2, or 3 can
be

http://www.boson.com/)
> 2. Free CCO/Colt (strange wording that will deflate
your confidence
if you

they don't give you
the

answered wrong)

studying! The
questions

very few questions
are

are the easy ones).
Close

watch ER :-)
