RE: Doing things backwards - Question for the CCDPs in the list.

If you understand 'Cisco' tests taking the DCN cold should not be too bad. The test is unlike any other, and it will benefit you if you study books like Priscilla's. However, CID is much harder in my opinion regarding actual knowledge of systems, and neither will qualify you to actually design

I have done a groupstudy archive search. It is well documented that Top-Down Network Design is an excellent design guide and prep tool for CCDA. In addition to this book, and work experience, what is recommended in preparation for the CID exam? Two recommendations from the archive were:

I know that this is not the list for CCDA questions but I hope that you will humor me. I have recently completed CCNP and studied with another engineer who was already CCDA certified. We studied for the CID (640-025) exam together and I passed this exam today. My question is this: Is the DCN

The CCDA exam has a lot of case study questions and at least 30 of the questions are case study so make sure that you do all the case studies at the end of Cisco's DCN book. the CID exam does not have any case studies. Reza CCNP,CCDP ""Miller, Nathan - BSC"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message

When I took the test for the CCDA last year I found it to be the most "fun" of any of the tests. Just read the Cisco Press book and take the test; no cramming or learning commands. It's about the easiest test I've ever taken, and I've been doing certs forever (currently MCSE+I, CCNP/CCDP, CCIE

IMHO as the CCDA exam stands, if you have a basic understanding of networking the "Cisco way" (ie CCNA) and more importantly have good proficiency with English, it'll be a breeze. After the exam I was actually disappointed I got a couple questions wrong! heh I also realized why the pass:fail

CID and DCN are quite different, but that doesn't mean you'll have a hard time with DCN necessarily. DCN tests design skills and knowledge about design methodologies, whereas CID tests technology knowledge. DCN has case studies and expects you to glean requirements, info about the existing
