Re: Difficulty - CCIE written or CCNP [7:16504]

Thanks. I've started the CCNP route now so will finish that
before trying to move on. I took the BCMSN exam first. This was
hard to study for (esp. multicast) but easier to pass than
expected.

 do not underestimate the CCIE written. the one I saw had a lot
of things
 that can fool the unwary, unsuspecting, and unprepared.

 It was tougher than any of the CCNP tests I took. It was
similar in many
 respects to about half the things I saw on the CID test.

 on the other hand, the CCIE written was not nearly so
difficult as I had
 imagined it would be. Perhaps because of the incremental
approach via the
 CCNP / CCDP route?

 best wishes to you.

 Would anyone who has taken the CCNP and the CCIE written exam
 care to advise which is the hardest? I hear the CCIE written
 exam is very basic. It certainly covers some simple topics but
 would a candidate need to know networking to CCNP level or
 higher to achieve thes pass mark? Put another way, how would
you
 compare two people, one with CCNP and not CCIE written, the
 other with the CCIE written and not CCNP?

Many folks use the exhaustive study for ccnp as a reason to go try the
written very shortly thereafter..

  Sorry I cannot answer.  However I do have additional question.  Can one
 take
  CCIE written exam, then CCIE lab exam and become CCIE without going
 through
  CCNA and CCNP???
