You really should read all the BluePrint. I would recommend the books Practical Studies, by Solie, and All-in-One Cisco(r) CCIE(tm) Lab Study Guide, by Stephen Hutnik, Michael Satterlee. I specially appreciate the correction of Satterlee labs.
"Panella Todd" @groupstudy.com em 03/02/2003 20:02:43 Favor responder a "Panella Todd" Enviado Por: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Assunto: Blown Away By The New CCIE Written [7:62396] Has anyone taken the new format of the written test? I just got my head handed to me. Needed a 58 to pass and got a 47. I definitely studied the wrong material. I thought the test would emphasize OSPF, BGP, WAN and the basic Routing Protocol interaction. Boy was I wrong. 75% of the test was Multicast, IPX, Token Ring and QoS. I studied QoS pretty well, but slacked a bit on Multicast and totally wrote off Token Ring or IPX. Ooops....$300 down the drain. Anyone else have a similiar experience? As far as what I used, I thought the "official CCIE R&S Exam Cert. Guide" would be enough. Uhh, that's a big NO! Bruno and clan don't even cover half of what was on this test. Anyone else recommend something different for next time? Should I just say No to all books and print out all the links on the Exam blueprint page? I think that's what I'm going to do this time, oh, that and concentrate on useless protocols.
