All, Thanks so much for your guidence!
I completed CCNP/CCDP first.
Then I read the Sybex(Lammle) CCIE Study Guide. I used the Boson Tests #1
and #2, and quickly realized I was not ready for some of the ATM questions.
I picked up the McGrawHill(Giles) CCIE study guide, and used it and the
Cisco Web Site to fill in the blanks. For Token Ring I used the RIF study
aid that is free here at the GroupStudy "StudyNotes" as well as the Rossi
Paper at CCPREP.
I used some of the free study aids at Bosons site, they have some faster
ways to derive your IP access list wildcards and IP summary ranges.

I passed with an 83% I did pretty well in all areas except for "Performance
Management" section, if anyone knows what that section's focous was I would
appreciate a response. Perhaps the fact that I don't know is indicitive as
to why I did not do so well in that area, I had really wanted to hit a 90% :-)
If I had it to do over, I would have started with assessing myself with the
boson's Having a CCNP/DP gets you about 80% there, I could have saved about
2 weeks if I just found out in the begining that 20% that I needed to focus
on.
I am off to start studies for the LAB, since I don't know where else to
start, I will ask the groupstudy Lab forum moderator if I can join after I
schedule my Lab Exam.
Thanks again for all the advice. Good Luck to those persuing this crazy
certification. :-)
