CCIE Written Passed
I finally made a passing mark for the CCIE Written with a 79%. Four days ago I missed the passing score by only 3%. With the encouragement of several people here in GroupStudy, co-workers and friends, I was convinced to reschedule. >From my original exam, I scored very low in areas that I thought I would have been comfortable in. I believe my comfort level contributed to those poor scores. Many have said it before read the question, read it again. You should know the answer before you look at the possibilities. After you have made your selection - read it again and ensure it is justified. For studying for the exam, I really don't have much more to offer than what has already been posted elsewhere on the list other than these comments: I believe the "CCIE Study Guide" by Giles provides an excellent presentation on layer one and two topics for each of the technologies (Ethernet, Token-Ring, FDDI, etc.). CCO has many excellent documents. Ones I thought provided a great deal of help in understanding was "Loading System Images and Configuration Files", NLSP, and DSLw+. Once again, thanks to everyone for the help.

CCIE written passed
All, Well after too much study, I have passed the written. It really wasn't that hard at all. I can say the best prep site was Certification zone's tests. I had taken 4 of them previously, so had 400 study questions to help. It is important to not only know the answer to each of these questions, but also understand the nature of the topic it is referring to. This helped me more than anything and I found myself really digging to understand a few unknown concepts to me. Also, their specific topic study guides were very helpful (especially TOKEN ring, you gotta know it). Good luck to everyone in their testing.

CCIE Written Passed
Hi, guys and gals! Miss me while I was gone? :-> I am quite pleased and very proud to announce that I passed my CCIE written this morning. I won't bore you with my score, let alone the number of questions on the test and the passing score. This sort of thing information is available elsewhere. My own score is irrelevant, except to say that it wasn't even close. ;-> All in all, this was a very good test, in my opinion. There were a couple of questions that might be considered ambiguous. There was certainly a bit of whimsy to be found. I nearly broke out laughing at a couple of the totally discongrous things I saw. I have to wonder how many test takers even realize the humor that is to be found in a couple of places? :-> In terms of preparation, let me state that in my experience, there is NO substitute for Jeff Doyle's TCP/IP Routing, nor Bassam Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures. I also used the CCIE Exam Cram book, with good effect. Heresy as it is to suggest this, I believe that in terms of pure test preparation, that with regards to Radia Perlman's Interconnections, one might find better ways to spend one's time. ( this is NOT to say there is no value to be found, NOR is it to say that one should NOT read the book. It is only to say that in terms of pure preparation for the CCIE written as I saw it, there are better sources available ) I also took advantage of a number of study materials freely available from CCO, CCPrep, and our own groupstudy web site. The latter two sites have some token ring / RIF information that was invaluable. I also spent a LOT of time with the materials one can obtain by subscribing to Certification Zone ( disclosure - I have been compensated for services rendered to Certification Zone ) If I were to tabulate, I would say that the plurality of questions involved OSPF and bridging of various kinds. There was far less BGP than I would have expected, given what the Blueprint describes. In terms of a couple of areas, such as router operation, protocol behavior fundamentals, and so on, that Exam Cram proved to be quite useful. One might consider investing in this one even at the CCNA level, and growing into it. Also, when you read my signature, your will understand that I am embarrassed to report that my worst score by far fell under the category of security Lastly, I wanted to mention that I saw several questions on my test that I have also seen posed here on Groupstudy - almost word for word, and right down to some very accurate representations of the diagrams. Some of you bad boys and girls have been violating the NDA. Shame on you ;-> I am aware that Nigel, Bernard, and the other Chuck will be taking their written's over the next couple of days. It is definitely looking like the class of 2001 is shaping up quite well. Hey, guys, I look forward to seeing your announcements of your own success Monday and Tuesday. There is no doubt in my mind. If I can do it, you certainly can. Just don't outsmart yourselves. Always THINK! :-> I kinda look at it this way. I began the climb to Everest at the shoreline of India. CCNA/CCDA = Delhi. CCNP/CCDP = Katmandu. CCIE Written = Base Camp 18,000 feet. The rest of the climb looks real steep, real tough. But I can look back along my route and see that I have come a long way. And like the Little Engine of lore, I Think I Can! There are too many of you who are entitled to and deserving of my thanks for your advice, your wisdom, your good humor, your knowledge.

CCIE Written Passed!
The second time around was a cinch! (I failed it the first time with a 66%. ) I studied for a couple more weeks and took it again this morning and passed with an 84%. Both times I only had about 5 minutes left on the clock when I was finished. The first time, I had done really well in only 3 areas where I'd spent the majority of my time studying. This time around, I studied only in the areas I had done poorly in before. It really showed. I scored 100% in three areas and over 90% in three others. (And, the areas that I skipped reviewing this time around did not suffer much from lack of review, either.) I just needed a little more time for all the pieces to settle into place. Now, it's off to the Lab!!!

CCIE Written Passed!
I passed my CCIE written exam today. It was a very frustrating exam. After I failed it the first time, I purchased the Boson CCIE practice Test. Boson had helped me before to prepare and pass CID and complete my CCDP track. If not for these, I might be re-taking this exam until this time next year. It was the best investment I ever made. The good thing about it is that, it is more like a tutor than a practice test. It clarified lots of areas that I had problems with. My other advice: go to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/CCIE It is the blueprint of the things that you should know. Cisco is not kidding. You must know whatever is mentioned here. Sorry, I can't provide more info (NDA), but study hard because the test content is broad, test questions ambiguous.

CCIE Written Passed ---- JUST!
Hi, I have just received the beautiful news that I have passed the CCIE Written. At the moment I am still typing with my hands trembling from the experience. For those of you who have still to sit this exam good luck. I personally didn't enjoy the experience as from question 50 I thought I had failed. As for exam questions I can hardly remember any BUT what I will say is that you do not get told how many answers there are to the questions i.e. choose all that apply between 1 and 8 answers. On most of these questions (around 30) I found that I always had a maybe correct, so I was faced with do I check it or Not. The subject headings for my exam were :- Cisco Device Operation Networking Theory Bridging and LAN Switching TCP/IP IP routing protocols Desktop Protocols Performance management WAN LAN Security Multiservice For me the areas that I thought I was strong in i.e. TCPIP, Cisco device operation were the worst (except the security questions 33% in that field). I scored 50% in TCPIP (doh!) and 50 % in Cisco device operation. You really have to know your bridging if you don't, I reckon you wont pass. The total I got was 70% the pass mark was 70% -- what springs to mind is I am one lucky person. But hell, it still says PASS. I am now sitting the design written in two days (I must be MAD!), will let you know how that goes but after this experience I am not looking forward to it. Aste! P.S. I am heading to the pub right now! Cheers!! _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: CCIE Written Passed
Congrats Chuck, This is your time for a little rest before the "big one". I have been on this list for about four months and realized that the help I am getting is invaluable. The best advise from the list so far is surely the reference to Jeff Doyle's BIBLE I have been procrastinating on the OSPF (chapter 9) for at least a 1 1/2 week so far. OSPF is so well written, covered, explained, broken down, configured etc... that I cannot wait to take in the rest of the book (I started with chapter 9) My library consist of over 100 books (not only Cisco) and this is by far the most comprehensible book that I ran across for the subjects covered (wish BGP was covered). I know it has been said a thousand time but if you do not have that book the you don't have a complete routing library! Way to go again Chuck and I like your comments!

Another Wannabe (CCIE Written Passed)
I passed the CCIE Written this morning, so I guess I'm an official wannabe now. For those of you still studying, here's some insight: I prepared by going the CCDA, CCNA, CCNP, CCDP route (all 1.0 version). I highly recommend reading Doyle - Routing TCP/IP, Halabi - Internet Routing Architectures, and Perlman - Interconnections, until you fully understand the content. From other's I've spoken with, Caslow's Cisco Certification might also be a good addition. I did a last minute review by reading the whitepapers at Certificationzone.com (thanks to all who contribute). I wouldn't, however, recommend using these whitepapers as your only study methodology; they're more of a rapid overview of core content. I found the test to be slightly easier than the CID3.0, though with different content. Anything on the Cisco guidelines is fair game, though I suggest that you know your bridging (and all that goes along with it) cold. All in all, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Well, I'm off to start preparing for the lab now.

CCIE Written Passed - Base Camp..!
Hey Gang, Well that big day has come and gone and let me say that I'm glad this part of the process is over. Something weird about being able to read and understand the material without having to meet a test(goal) to feel that you've read and understood the material. On that note let me share with you that I've now joined the rest of "Class 2001". (Chuck L - Bernard, and Chuck Church waiting to hear the word) Let me say that Chuck L's review on the various materials required to prepare for this exam was right on. However, based on the exam I took today I cannot express the importance of knowing token ring/Bridging/RIF format/Hex and binary conversion /Non-canonical and Canonical conversion. I'm sure this is not new information to most of you but man was there quite a bit of that stuff on the exam. The standard few IGRP/EIGRP/OSPF and BGP stuff was present as well. I think one of the big things that made the difference was the subscription to CertificationZone(plug..!) I must admit the questions in my exam was more on par with the level of the questions on Cert Zone and the Study Questions CDROM. I too used the Exam Cram as mentioned by chuck, the questions in the book are reasonable but in retrospect the questions seemed a little too easy. The other point of interest was that I could go back as well as mark the questions you felt uncertain about. Also be prepared to choose multiple answers without being told how many choices.(I hope I didn't break the NDA). Anyway, it sure seems like it's been a long day so I leave on this note. Thanks to everyone in the group and I mean everyone. Sometimes it seemed like some question were dumb and yes some were but this kind of free thinking is what makes "Studygroup" the success it is today. Special thanks to all the folks that make reading the post worthwhile - Chuck, Phil, Priscilla, Howard to name a few and most of all Paul B. for providing a place for this process to flourish. Well Chuck it seems like I made it to "Base Camp" now my head looks up to the sky towards Mt. Everest as I look to the journey ahead. See you at the top.. Thanks again, All Nigel.
CCIE written passed! [7:2615]
Feels Good! I just passed the CCIE written. It was not actually all that hard if you have all of your CCNP stuff still in your head. Just studied for a couple of weeks after taking 3 months off from CCNP. I would suggest that all candidates buy the new Caslow book and buy the Boson tests. Use the Bosons not only for the memorization of questions, but also for the explanations/references given for each answer. I spent about 4 hours per day studying for these two weeks using just these two guides. Thanks to those who helped me by answering my questions...They directly helped if you know what I mean... On to the LAB...should take about 3-4 months to study intermixed with my actual job.

CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
I took the CCIE written yesterday afternoon and passed (80%) I was expecting more, but I flunked the performance/QoS section of the exam, which I neglected somewhat during preparation. I used both Boson #1 and Boson #3. Those 2 tests are complementary and are NOT substitute for each other. Boson #3 focuses on SNA issues where as Boson #1 focuses on the other networking topics. If you can, you should purchase both tests. For preparation I did a pre-test on Boson #3 and discovered how little SNA and ATM I knew. For 3 weeks, I studied SNA and ATM using CCO + hands-on until the whole thing felt natural. Then, on the 4th week of preparation I repeated the same strategy with Boson #1. I dicovered 3 areas of networking where I had some weaknesses. I only had time to work on 2 of them thoroughly before the test. Thank you to Bernard and Dennis for excellent test materials and to all those who gracefully took the time to answer my questions. I particularly want to thank Priscilla and Leigh Anne who both put me back on track several times during the last two years and Daniel Cotts for squeezing some time out of his busy schedule to spend some time discussing Cisco with me.

I just passed the CCIE Routing and Switching Qualification Exam and would appreciate recommendations on preparing for the lab. I do not have access to Cisco gear at work but have registered for Global Knowledge CCIE lab preparation courses. What equipment do I need? Rent vs buy.

RE: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
Well, if the moderators let this through, I'll probably get flamed to death because I'm always pushing CCxx Productions. Why? Because I wrote most of the materials. However, I can guarantee that they cover the exact same topics as Boson at a much better price. The difference is that you get the materials in Microsoft Word format instead of a test engine. But the advantage of that is that you can transport the materials anywhere you want. With Boson, you can only put the materials on one PC.

Re: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
The IOS documentation has a section on QoS. Check CC0 Regarless of your method of preparation you need to take some test to check your understanding. Boson was a great help in that matter. Good luck on your exam.

RE: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
Here's why it matters: I had a discussion with Paul Borghese (owner of Groupstudy) a while back regarding messages on this list that are from people trying to tout their websites or products. As long as the messages are helping someone with a problem on this list (which you were, and that's cool) and the person writing the message makes note of their involvement with the product or service, then the message is in good taste. Paul doesn't want this list to become a list of advertisements for anyone who has a Cisco product to sell, which I can understand. That's why whenever I mention CCxx Productions, Network Learning, Quizware, or Boson (whom I'm not too fond of right now) when trying to help someone with a certification question or trying to help them save money on their certification study materials, I make note of any involvement that I've had with them in the past, present, or future.

RE: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
I love how all these guys use boson as the point of comparison. That alone tells me something. When I passed the written I used several of the popular books, including reading Caslow and Doyle, which are more for the lab, but are great books. Then I tested myself with the #1 and #3 bosons; and they were great. One of them, and I don't remember which, had something like 400 questions and was right on the money. Lastly, the current version of the written is going away soon, and if anybody is getting ready to test out, they should have multiple sources of study. Definitely read the popular books, review the public domain cramsessions that are around, and download a couple of these practice test things. The test costs $300 (or at least it did when I took it, I think it's more now), and buying ALL the popular books, the bosons AND shawn's home grown ms word document thingy is less then the price of failing just once and having to take it again.

RE: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
That was a fair enough flame. HOWEVER, :-) the reason Boson is used as the comparison is because people are cultified (is that a word?) with them even though they could get CCIE Written materials for $50.00 less than Boson that cover the EXACT SAME TOPICS! WHY IS THAT? ARE PEOPLE AFRAID OF CHANGE, OR WHAT? Doesn't that tell you something? It would sure tell me something! Like, what could I do with an extra $50.00 in my pocket!

RE: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
Nic said that he used both Boson 1 and 3. That's about $80.00 for questions/topics that are covered in other materials for $29.95. I could safely say that all the topics in all three Boson exams (about $120.00) are covered in other materials for only $29.95. If someone's got all three Bosons and wants to match topic for topic with CCxx materials, contact me offline. Shawn K. > -Original Message- > From: Michael L.

Boson is good and expensive, CCxx is good and cheap. Boson has a test engine, CCxx doesn't. Boson has a name, CCxx is making it. Summed up, Boson wins in many people's book. Why don't you use Zyxel routers in everyday life? Boy, they are cheaper than Cisco and they route, too! Marko. P.S. I'm just a satisfied Boson customer.

CCIE written passed, - Jin Jung [7:21874]
Hey folks, I have passed CCIE written, One down one to go I like to thank all the group members who helped me out. Now on to the LAB, Any tips or recommendation is appreciated. Also , I am looking for some more router and switched - Cisco of course- IF anyone out there have some cheep router and switches that you like to sell, Please let me know.

CCIE written passed - Must be a Chuck thing!
All, I guess it was a good weekend to be taking the CCIE Written if your name was Chuck! This morning I passed with a 75%. Had but 5 minutes to spare, but never really felt rushed. It was a fair but mentally draining test. None of the questions were ambiguous. I could have spent more time studying BGP, IS-IS, and DECnet, but everything else was fairly familiar. My score sheet doesn't list the number of questions in each section, but I'll list my percentages for the possible benefit of the group. Things that I used to prepare were: 1. On the job experience - I worked with Cat 5000 and 72xx extensively at my last job which was a bank. Currently working for a reseller where I'm doing everything from PIX to Aironet wireless. I can't imagine passing the test without lots of hands-on experience. 2. Cisco Press books - Used the Halabi BGP book, and most of the actual courseware from the CCNP track. Also used some of the titles from the CCIE development series. 3. Giles CCIE prep book. Has some amazing (and amazingly boring) details on token ring and FDDI. I think the Cisco Press books are much better, though. 4. Certification Zone - Practice written tests and the white papers are great. Well worth the money. The practice written tests are tougher than the real one. I had scores of 600, 750, 700, and 710 these last 4 months. Great preparation. Now I just got that little lab thingy to pass :) What's the lead time for scheduling? I'm thinking I might be ready by January? If there's anyone in the NYC area looking for a CCIE lab study partner, let me know. SCORES: Cisco device operation - 71% Networking Theory - 83% Bridging and LAN switching - 70% Ughh, token ring TCP/IP - 75% IP Routing Protocols- 80% Desktop Protocols- 87% Knowledge of NetWare helped here Performance Management - 33% I have no idea what happened here WAN - 83% LAN - 60% I always thought I was better with LAN than WAN... Security- 100% This is more of a mystery than the 33% above Multiservice- 0% I assume there was only a couple questions here.

RE: CCIE Written Passed & Lab Advise [7:30838]
If you are in the DC are maybe you should consider the Net Master Class by Bruce and Val instead of the Global Knowledge. I attended ECP1 and know a couple of individuals who attended the new RSNMC1, it sounds like the new class is even better. www.netmasterclass.net You should be able to schedule your lab date soon. It usually takes a couple of days for it to be reported to Cisco. There is an online registration tool on the Cisco web site in the certification section. The dates are about six months out. Don't worry about the backlog, most candidates need the time to prepare. Just schedule a date and get cracking. -Original Message- From: Olympia Ric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 2:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CCIE Written Passed & Lab Advise [7:30838] I just passed the CCIE Routing and Switching Qualification Exam and would appreciate recommendations on preparing for the lab.

CCIE Written Passed - Lab on the Horizon... [7:25979]
