A good day for me on Thursday: I passed the CIT, the last exam for my CCNP in the morning and passed the CCIE written exam in the afternoon. Thanks to groupstudy and contributors for all help.
As recommended by others I used the Boson exams to let me know what I wasn't ready for and also a good book by Michael Satterlee, All In One Cisco CCIE Practice Exam and Review 350-001. This book is possibly the best value starting point for anyone considering the exam. I think the Boson test was harder than the actual exam. I would say that the CIT exam was slightly harder than the CCIE written, although 350-001 did cover a lot of ground. You should know principals of areas such as Token Ring RIFs and bridging, DLSW+ appeared, ISDN, some BGP and OSPF, RIP2 etc, a tiny bit of IS-IS and NLSP. Above all, read the questions carefully. Many answers can be eliminated which in many cases left me to choose between two that /could/ be right. For those who like to know my CIT score was 816 and CCIE written score was 90% so I must have guessed correctly a few times! Sometimes even the Cisco question writers must want some light relief. To paraphrase one of the questions, it asked what device would be used for testing a cable for a certain fault. I don't think I'm giving too much away to say that the answer that called it a Cable Defectometer was not the one I went for. Best wishes to any others planning to take the exams. - James Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=32575&t=32575 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
