I use this test usually a week before the exams that I take. I have used the
Colt exams for the Switching exam and for the remote access exam. It is good
for finding out your weak areas. What I do is that I print out every
question and when I get the results I read the question that I got wrong and
then read the chapter regarding this question again. And if I still do not
get it I try to find and read papers about it on the CCO. After that I take
the test again and do the same thing over.
I can separate my study into few stages and this procedure has worked for
me.
1. I collect and read as much study material as I can find. I try to get the
Cisco Press book regarding the exam I am taking so I can see what material
is on the exam. For example I am now reading for the BSCN exam and I one of
the books that I bought was Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Catherine
Paqet.(the first 100 pages are good by the way)
The books that I am reading now for the BSCN are:
-Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Catherine paqet
-BSCN Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Tom Thomas II
-CCIE Professional Development: Routing TCP/IP by Jeff Doyle
- Internet routing Architectures by Basam Halabi
- Advanced Routing Configuration student guide from the class (My former
colleague at work got it in the old ACRC class.
-BGP4 Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet by John W Stewart (I have already
read that one )
-Ospf Anatomy of the internet by Moy (I have already read that one so I will
just need it to brush up before the exam)
2. After I have read the books I take the case studies and do them here at
work. Sometimes I do that while I am on step 2 so stages 1 and 2 get
somewhat mixed up. I try to take at least two weeks for case studies and
labs for each exam. I work with cisco routers so that helps immensely at
this stage.
3. Last one or two weeks before the exam I start preparing for the exam
itself. I do that by reading books that collect the material together like
The Choriolis Exam Cram and exam prep series. On this stage I take one or
two books from the reading part and read them again (Usually I read over the
summaries and the case studies). On this part I usually print out related
material from the CCO and read some RFCs.
4) The last one week before each exam I take as many practice exams as I can
get my hands on. Boson,Colt and free practice exams on the net.
And of course I read emails from this list on all stages
I see the study procedure for each exam as a small step on my way to the
ultimate goal "To gain knowledge to be (hopefully) better in what I am
doing". That goal will reach far beyond the CCIE (s).
Hope this helps an good luck

Subject: Closest to the real one...
Folks,
I have being taken the BOSON test for the last two week and getting 100%
score for my BSCN test. Yesterday I made the decision of taken the CISCO
online test and what a disappoint I FAILED the test. My question is which
test is the closest one to the real test......What I am doing wrong here I
though that when you getting 100% in all 4 test from BOSON I was ready to
take the real one......
Juan
