Agreed. When you actually "do" something, it tends to stay in memory. On most of my exams, I would read the text and then try to incorporate the topic into my lab. It really helped to understand the topic. However, as the original poster mentioned, there are some topics on this exam that you can't actually "do" and must memorize them. So, as with all exams, books, Cisco blueprint, CCO, and hands-on are a good bet for success!

Some people can learn from just reading, but as a good friend mentioned to me the other day, as I was trying to "Show" him something : "Doing is Learning".

I have the Cisco Press Book by Paquet, and it suppossed to cover all of the test material. I also downloaded the IS-IS supplement from Cisco. I know NOTHING about IS-IS, so I'm going to learn the basics and pray that there are only about 4-5 questions on it. I've worked in networking with Cisco products since 2000, so I feel comforatable with day-to-day operations, and I'm fairly comfident with my commands. What I have been concentrating on is more of the book stuff like metric stuff, bgp path attributes, and the specific routing commands that are applied to interfaces. I have a lab with 4 2500's, but to be honest, I feel like the books are more important for this specific exam. Anyone who has taken the test, I would like to hear your opinion on book specifics vs. router configs on the BSCI exam, please.
