Congrats Mark.. I just finally got myself back on the study train myself, and took the BCMSN Switching test today. I've been out of the study game, and out of GroupStudy for about a year now (Sorry guys gals!!!) ;-) Well.. I finally found the motivation again, and passing todays test helped! I also found myself not studying as dilligently as I could have. In the end, I made it thru on 2 things. Personal experience and 2 days of cramming with the Cisco Press BCMSN Exam Certification Guide. I broke down bought it as a last minute desparation move, as the Cisco Press BCMSN "course book" was putting me to sleep every day by chapter 2.. (Theory is soo boring!!). With only 2 days with the cert guide, I crammed the sample test read the chapter QA quizzes over over.. and on the topics I didn't fully understand, I read over as much of the chapter as I could to fill in the mental blanks. I do think I got a bit lucky, as there were a few area's I still feel weak in, but either got no questions on those area's, or barely 1 or 2. So, the concensus is that BCRAN is the easiest? Interesting. I thought todays test was easier than I expected, but still enough to cause a bead or 2 of sweat.. Personally, I know I'm horrible at things like Async configs.. but ISDN I find rather easy. If anyone is still around from the last time I haunted the list (Chuck.. Tony.. Ozzie.. Paul.. anyone... Buehler.. Buehler.. ) they'll probably remember why.. but that was in another life ;-) Interesting that everyone thinks CIT is the worst. Personally, I'm setting aside 3 weeks hard study time for BSCN Routing as the hardest. I'm on a tight personal goal schedule. 1 test every 2 weeks, but again, 3 for BSCN. So, tomorrow I schedule the CIT and hit the books. I suspect I have an advantage, in that most of my experience is raw troubleshooting. It's also mostly in routing, over switching, but the BSCN goes into a depth I haven't learned from experience yet. So, I'm planning heavy studies for that one. CIT I'm more secure about. Hopefully, it's not overconfidence.. If all goes well.. we (my test partner) should see CCNP accomplished by mid-March. As she likes to say "Failure is not an option" ;-) Then again.. one does not always need immediate gratification to achieve success. But.. drive on we must! Steve-H@ .. oh wait.. nevermind.

Went in very unprepared (first time going in feeling unsure) but still passed. I barely studied for this one and my score reflected upon that but I still knew my stuff and passed. I have to agree with the masses when I say that this test was very, very easy. I wouldn't even say that this was a 10th as hard as the switching or routing 2.0's. Well, I got one more to go (dreaded CIT) and then I can change my signature (it's about time) from CCNA, CCDA...to CCNP, CCDA. God I can't wait. =o) On a side note: The only thing I used to prepare for this test was Lammle's Remote Access. I personally feel this book was great. I barely studied and got a 762. If I had put more time into it I'm sure his book could have scored me in the 900s. I recommend it to anybody pursuing the BCRAN.

LoL.. Dan.. your memory is amazing! I'll have to dig up a new one. Maybe create something more appropriate to the times.

Re: 3 down, 1 to go...(passed BCRAN)
congratlations!Just give it your all on CIT and you will pass... I am shooting for CCDA then CID for CCDP so I can tag CCNP and CCDP to myself. It has proven to be rewarding so why not. Good Luck in your adventures..
