Re: Advice : CCIE written (R/S) [7:15005]
Chuck is right on the money. I used nearly the same strategy for studying but did not spend enough time on the Token Ring papers. Passed anyway but could have been a little sharper on those papers. For practice tests I used Boson #1 and #2 from www.boson.com If you have taken the CID test, that is also a good way to guage if you are ready for the CCIE written.

RE: Advice : CCIE written (R/S) [7:15005]
In my particular case, this is what worked for me: Books: Jeff Doyle vol 1, Caslow, the Exam Cram CCIE prep book. I read Perlman, but other than the first couple of chapters, I am of the opinion there are better ways to spend one's time. Papers: there are two token ring RIF papers available for free, one in on the groupstudy web site. the other is at ccprep. both are excellent and should be covered in depth. Certification Zone - I bought a 6 month subscription and read as many of the white papers as I could download. I took the monthly tests and reviewed them thoroughly ( disclaimer - I occasionally am compensated for work at cert zone ) I took a weeks vacation prior to my written, and spent my final days: half with retaking the cert zone tests ( I bought the CD ) and reviewing. and the other half cramming with the exam cram book. note that the OSPF chapter sucks, the token ring chapter contains a few errors which you will recognize if you studied the other papers, but there is a chapter on the config register settings that is worth reviewing. IMHO, the CCIE written exam I saw bears quite a resemblance to the CID exam. best wishes Chuck -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Thompson, Robert D Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 4:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Advice : CCIE written (R/S) [7:15005] HI All, Could any of you please advise me on anything I should concentrate my efforts on for the exam, not breaking your non disclosure with Cisco.

For the written, Radia Perlman's "Interconnections" is a must read. So is the CCIEprep.com Token ring paper. Good stuff to know, test or no test.
