Nadeem -
Please do not presume to speak for all CCIE candidates. Mr. Holmes's post was rough,
but your original post earned you the responses you've gotten. The CCIE certification
is a big moutain to climb, and if you feel it is "too much," then Mr. Holmes is right
in his advice to you.
As far as the differences in opinion are concerned, you're right in that they can be
confusing. However, this is a part of life, and each of us must make choices for
ourselves on which study method to choose, which car to buy, which girl to marry.
When looking for a new book to use in preparation for a certification exam, I read
reviews on Amazon.com or some other online bookstore, and if that isn't enough for me
to make a decision, then I go to my local bookstore (Softpro) and start flipping pages.
We will not spoon-feed you here. You must decide for yourself. Let this thread and
conversation end here.
Sincerely,
Bradley J. Wilson

Your answer is a humiliating slang on all who wants to pursue there career
certification. This slap is not only on me but to all of you who are CCIE or
going towards it. Indeed I have been going through the archives and found
some ideas but there are so many peoples with different ideas that they
confused me on what to read and what to study. So I decided to read all the
books one by one. After I went through couple of books I figured out my self
where am I standing but could not. Since the blue print is too much to cover
and is very vague. The Cisco Blue prints covers almost everything and that
is too much to go for.
Thanks for your advise and the slang to every CCIE or newcomer

If you had been continuously READING the messages on groupstudy mailing
lists, including the archives, you would long ago have found what you
needed.
At this point in your endeavor, I can only suggest that you consider NOT
taking the exam, and instead look into other career paths where the entry
steps are more clearly laid out, such as:
taxi driver
used automobile salesman
newspaper carrier
elevator operator
There are many others that may appeal to you. If you find that you simply
cannot let go of the notion that you should become a Cisco Certified
Internetwork Expert, then you might check out the Exam Blueprint at
www.cisco.com.
Good Luck!
