Priscilla and Company,
I just passed my CID test 640-025. Being careful not to void my NDA :-) I
will tell you that I saw no case studies. I was kind of disappointed
because I love to design firewalls, networks and etc. and was actually
looking forward to the challenge. I will say though out of all of the Cisco
Career Certifications that I have, which includes CCNA, CCDA, CCNP and now
CCDP, the CCDP was the hardest test of the four without a doubt. A lot of
my colleagues warned me about this test and they were right. It was 100
questions given in about 2 hours I think. I finished in about an hour.
