RE: Boson Tests didnt help for BCRAN [7:33879]
Yes, first of all the Boson Tests are not ment for preparation of the material (in my opinion), but should be used when you know the material to prepare you for the Cisco Way of asking questions, and to give you an idea what you can expect. I always wait until I have read the book(s) and think I am ready, and if I cannot score about 80% on the first time I take the Boson test(s), I know that I need to go back to my book(s). If you keep taking the Boson test(s), you will eventually score a 100%, but that doesn't mean that you know your material - only that you have a good memory. As one of the only exams I have ever taken, I only used one book for the BCRAN exam, and you can read more about that if you follow my Router Chief link below.

I just read the CCNP exam certification guide for Remote Access. It was pretty straight-forward and that book covered it all.

RE: Boson Tests didnt help for BCRAN [7:33879]
I am in the same boat as you were, but with the BCSN test. My suggestion is that where it is fine to use testing software, but make sure you understand why the answer is right, and not just what the answer is. Since I missed the BCSN test by 1 or 2 questions, I may being doing overkill with my studying. But studying too much is not a bad thing, because it will help in the long run. Really knowing the subject will help you if the person writing the test tries to "bait" you to selecting an answer because you recognized it from some commonly used software. I think they are being more creative with the questions since the price increase of the exams. It is not the cookie cutter questions anymore. I have my CCNA now, and no one has every stopped me from working on a router or firewall asking me for my CCNP papers. I think the program is a great guideline, but having experience is more important. I am making slow progress with the CCNP, because I am studying for other cisco exams as well that don't fit in that category. My suggestion to you for the BCRAN exam is to read a few different books, maybe 3. That's what im doing right now to make sure I know all the material. I might read the concept in 1 book, and think I understand it, then read it in another book, and they emphasize on something else. This is really helping me understand concepts from more then 1 point of view. Even if the book has errors, you will notice that your other books said something different. The networks I work on are not worldwide, so I don't have everyday exposure to BGP, and hooking up to several ISPs etc, so I have to make sure what I am reading is correct. In my humble opinion, some of the questions on boson test are a bit obscure. Just concentrate on what is on the Cisco outline, and try not to deviate too far from that. Being that you almost passed, I think with a bit more reading, or maybe reading a book from another point of view, that you will definitely pass next time. I am sure there were some things you saw on the exam, or the format of the exam, that you can use to study certain areas. -Original Message- From: rtc9 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Boson Tests didnt help for BCRAN [7:33879] I recently took the BCRAN Test and used Boson Tests 1 and 2 to help me prepare along with the Cisco Book.

RE: Boson Tests didnt help for BCRAN [7:33879]
I'd head back to the Cisco Press book and lay less blame on the software. The Bosons only got me in the mind set to answer the obscure, but the real momentum to pass the exam came from the BCRAN. All the best !!!

Re: Boson Tests didnt help for BCRAN [7:33879]
I think, you should read not only one book. I've studied 3 different books (cisco press, sybax and mc graw-hill). I've tested me with the boson tests. After doing this intensive learning, the BCRAN example was no problem (i think, about 950 points). I think, you should understand the stuff, not only trying to pass the exam. The exam should be the smallest of all of your problems !
