Sorry guys, the Easy & Hard comments were totally subjective. I have NOC &
design experience, so the Support & Switching were pretty much a walk in the
park. The Hard tests where ones I actually had to learn a large portion of
the material. I've never been exposed to Dial all that much, so I naturally
had to think a lot about the BCRAN :o) As far as momentum, I was able to
rip through the first 3 exams fairly quickly... so you can bet that last
exam was in my sites the entire time (even though it was the BSCN). The
BSCN was hard for me, because my job is all EIGRP & the only OSPF I see it
redistributed from Nortel routers into EIGRP... or Internet BGP into EIGRP.
Good Luck with the Exams !!!
Phil
