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 - Must be a Chuck thing!
Congrats...! "Chuck - the other chuck." I agree it does seem like more than a "Chuck" thing. How about a "Chuck - Chuck - Nigel " thing. Yes, it does seem like class 2001 is coming along nicely.

Re: CCIE written passed - Must be a Chuck thing!
I'm going to take all of my CCNP tests in the near future. I wonder, if I change my
name to "Chuck", maybe I'll pass them all tests on the first try...
Hmmm... I hope it doesn't only apply to the ccie written..

Hey, maybe if I have all my students change their names to Chuck they will
start doing better on their exams. At the very least it will make memorizing
names each semester a lot easier! :)

As long as they don't mind passing each and every one of their lower level
cert exams by 20 points or less ;->
