I missed the beta by 7% and I'd like to take the old test before it's retired. Daniel, Those of us who are preparing for the R/S exams are in a precarious position, but I think it's going to stabilize in a few months. To me, the big issue is: What are we most likely to be tested on? Officially, for legal purposes, there have been claims that we're responsbible for the entire IOS. However, I've seen statements at cisco.com that certain technologies like IPX and TR are no longer part of the R/S lab exam, and I expect there are some topics that have been excluded from the qualifying exam (for example, we only need to know the ATM UNI on the customer side, not the network side of the UNI or NNI). And then there's the question of what has been added. Later this month I hope to post a summary of my findings (mainly questions and confusions!) and the sources of my information. If anyone wants to send me what they've found, I'll include it in my summary. We're trying to hit a moving target. Everything's in flux. But things will settle down in a few months when all (most?) of the relevant URLs at cisco.com have been updated to reflect cisco's vision of the new CCIE. These are exciting times, sometimes maybe just a little too exciting. -- TT email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=48824t=48585 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Michael, If the new beta exam (351-001) will have its number changed to 350-001 how would you know for sure if you're going to take the new/old one? I mean. I called Prometric and they said you're able to register for the 350-001 even after August 1st (Maybe the registration date?). I missed the beta by 7% and I'd like to take the old test before it's retired. :) cya Daniel Michael L. Williams wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

There is a new version of the R/S written exam and it will taking over the old exam soon.

CCIE preparation and exams [7:48585]
A couple questions about CCIE preparation and exams: * There's a new book from ciscopress, to be published (I hope) this month: CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide. It appears to be a preparation not only for the R/S qualifying exam but also for the C/S. Is anyone familiar with the contents? Does the book clearly distinguish which chapters / sections are for R/S vs. C/S? * Is there a new exam that will replace the R/S qualifying exam 350-001? I heard it might be renumbered 351-001 but there are no references to 351-001 on cisco.com. Does anyone have information about this? Specifically, if there is, or will be, a new qualifier, how will it differ from the current 350-001? * A ciscopress preparation book for the R/S lab exam, CCIE Practical Studies, Volume 1: http://www.gocertify.com/article/solie.shtml Anyone have experience with this book? Is it reasonable to focus on these two books (Certification Guide and Practical Studies Vol. I) to prepare for the R/S qualifier and lab exams? -- TIA, TT Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=48585t=48585 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
