Re: Finished CCNP - Let me know if you'd like advi [7:24370]
I've heard several people complain about the BCMSN being difficult, but I didnt' really find it to be that bad. I read the Cisco BCMSN book (which I don't highly recommend) and the exam cram (which did help a lot). I also used the Boson practice tests for that one. If you're saving CIT for last, I think you'll find it pretty easy. I took the class for it and was kinda bored because everything had been covered in other tests / classes. Most of what I've read on these posts has held true, especially about the command-line stuff, where they basically GIVE you the answer in the list and even make it pretty obvious. Anyway, best of luck. Brian Brad Nixon wrote: Congratulations. If what you say is true, I'm in pretty good shape. I have already passed the BCRAN and BCSN. I am taking BCMSN on Thursday.

There were a few questions that asked for a single answer, but more than one of the choices would have been absolutely correct with the information presented. There were also some questions that required more than one answer, but only one was actually correct. I had difficulty with the routing one, simply because of so much BGP, which I don't work with all that much.

Re: Just Finished CCNP CCDP [7:17850]
CCDA by Bruno and Kim, is a good book overall especially for the case studies. I read CCDA by Syngress for its Internetworking technologies content. I find it easier to read. If I were to choose only one book, considering the contents of the exam, I would choose CCDA by Bruno and Kim. Congrats man. If you don't mind me asking I am studying for the CCDA right now as we speak which of the CCDA books did you find the most helpful? Or was it a combination of both?

Re: Finished CCNP!
Hi I just took the Support Exam today. Very tough!!! The questions and answers are very badly written and i need to take alot of time re-reading them!
