routing exam [7:5453]

2001-05-22 Thread John Andrews

How good is the routing book isbn# 1-58720-20-001-5 by Clare Gough?  I have 
just purchased this book for preparation for the 503 test.


Do I need more than this or is this an adequate preparation for this test?


Comments?

John

Have a great day!

That's what I wanted to know.  Somehow or other, I enjoy the dryness of
cisco
press materials.  Much better than others I have looked at. I like the
detail.
 I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks again,
John

John, I used only this book for this exam.  It's a hard read to follow if
you
have no routing experience, but I did pass the exam...

b**** tests [7:5194]

2001-05-20 Thread John Andrews

First of all:

I worded the subject space that way because I was unsure if the word B
is
banned here or not, so that was to be on the safe side so this would go 
through to the group.

My question:

Are the above tests for switching close to the exam type questions that
appear
on the prometric. I have both switching exams and have been using them for 
practice examinations.

Comments appreciated..

John Andrews

Have a great day!
John Andrews

RE: Passed BCMSN [7:4546]

2001-05-19 Thread John Andrews

I guess I will be first.  I am also memorizing and studying in hopes of 
passing my switching exam with no experience.  I currently work for a very 
small company with ten 95 computers and 15 or so unix machines on a unix 
server.  My main job is to unsnag people who lock their computers up and to 
print reports.  But, I am studying for my tests.  Hopefully one day, when I 
finish I can gain some real networking experience.  In the meantime, I am 
learning the unix language and have learned great self restraint of the 
defined art of self control when wanting to strangle users.  You just keep 
plugging away, but, noone I don't think would ever say that practical 
networking experience is not a valuable asset to have..it's just that some
of
us don't have a choice.  But you don't quit trying.

And that's my two cents:
John Andrews

Kevin et all Brain dump people out there,

I have no comments on your ability to memorise a whole book. What we
are talking here about is real achievements. I hope people in this
group will agree with me in the difference between real experience and
knowledge and just brain dumps.

I know there are going to be fumes on this now. Let them come:-)

Wow, I can't believe you guys are really having this conversation

Knowledge is absolutely useless unless it is shared.  Creation, invention,

No questions are stupid.  They are just the keys to a puzzle.

This group is suppose to target for intermediate to expert level

I do not know why there is so many stupid question appear in the group

For example, does cisco 2523 perform frame relay switch?
I do not know why they can't find information in the cisco web site.

I do not mean to offend anyone.  But just want to raise an issue.

CCNP ?? [7:4789]

2001-05-16 Thread John Andrews

I have a question or two.  I am in the near future planning on taking the
CCNP
switching exam.  My question is this?

How through is the test compared to the sybex book?  Will that, plus the
boson
tests prepare me adequately enough to pass the test and in addition to the 
edge tests that are included with the book?  Also, what are the main areas 
covered?  I am NOT asking for specific questionsbut generalities only. 
Something like VLANS were a large portion of the CCNA exam.  I am suspecting 
that rp's, switch types, commands, pim sparse and dense modes are the main 
portions.  Or at least this is what I am getting out of the sybex book.  Am
I
seeing this wrong or am I on the right track?

Thanks,
J
(the one who will be glad when this test is done)

Have a great day!
John A

  Thanks Kevin
  Worked like a charm, the pdf thing.
  Did you know that you can update your boson tests to version 3.67.
  It adds a cool feature that lets you test by category plus it updates
your
  questions, example I just created a pdf with all bgp questions from
the
  bscn test I bought.
  Just email this guy  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  with your serial numbers
and
 he
  will send you back new unlock codes.
  You also have to go to their site and down load the new testing engine.
  Oh by the way, Chad is working on his last test for CCNP then he is
going
  for CCIE so he understands what we are about, not just a sales man with
no
  clue. He was also one of the most helpful people I ever dealt with. I
  e-mailed my serial numbers, 10 in all and he sent me back my new 3.67
  unlocks in fifteen minutes. One of the numbers I sent was wrong so I
 resent
  the correct number and a new unlock was sent in about five minutes.
GREAT
  SERVICE BOSON, thanks Chad!!!
  Lets review
  10 test @ 30 dollars = CCNA/CCDA/CCNP/CCDP + two CCIE tests locked in
the
  chamber for the written in a month for Don + great testing content +
good
  money for the test writers + great service from Chad. What a value.
  No I don't work for Boson but so what if I did, I ain't lying.

   Dear Group,
  
   Lost the original post but here's an answer of sorts.
  
   At the top in the File menu tree you can print each question.
  
   The print operation doesn't ask you where to print, it just uses the
  default
   printer.
  
   So, create a new printer that prints to file (local printer -
Generic)
  and
   make it the default while you're doing the questions.
  
   Not very elegant actually as each question will overwrite the last one
   saved.  So keep windows explorer open and rename the output each time.
  
   Unfortunately, graphics won't come across too well.
  
   So if you own the Adobe Editor - it installs the Adobe Distiller which
 is
   another print to file operation but you get to keep all the graphics
and
  its
   in .pdf format.
  
   So you can't dump an exam but you can get all the info you want one by
 one
   if you're patient.

Hello,

I am getting ready to test on this exam in a couple of weeks.  Would someone 
please tell me or give me some information please.

Right now to prepare, I am using the Boson switching tests and the Sybex
book.
 I have also read the CLSC book by Cisco Press.  I know it is outdated, but
it
still have alot of very very good info.

Will this be enough in anyones opinion?

Thanks,
