Young William, I just took BCRAN 24 hours ago. It is still fresh in my
mind. I will attempt to give you my impressions on the exam and how I
prepared.
I read Building Cisco Remote Access Networks by Catherine Paquet (A fine
Cisco Press publication). I also used all three Boson test series covering
the same. It took me about a week to read the book. My peers said the book
was dry and a bit boring, but I found it to be rather enjoyable. Anyway,
the book provided me with a strong foundation of the concepts. The Boson
tests were slightly better than average and a good way to get yourself into
the frame of mind to take a test. Once I had mastered the Boson exmas, I
took the test. I passed with an 887.
On the test, I saw a bunch of ISDN questions, from concepts and theory to
actual usage. There were about 5-6 questions on DDR. There were many
(about 12-15) questions where they ask you which Cisco command does this or
that. They give you an exhibit to choose from 50 or so commands. The way
they ask the question and the way the commands are listed in the exhibit,
they practically give the answer away. There were the requisite Frame Relay
questions too. Basic stuff there. The few questions I saw on X25 were of
the most basic sort. There were also about 5 questions on what particular
router would you put in a specific location (i.e. Central Office, Remote
Location or SOHO) There were about 2 very general questions on the Cisco
700, and not very in depth questions at that.
There were also a few questions related to Dialer Groups, Dialer Lists and
Dialer Pools. Enough to be annoying.
Finally, there were those few questions that Cisco likes to drop in there
that are totally ambiguous and serve only to shake your confidence.
I saw no blind "fill in the blank" type questions.
Hope all of this helps. Good luck on your test!
Joseph
