Kyle,
I started preparing for the CCNP routing exam last Spring. I read two ACRC
books published by Cisco. Then in the Summer I missed the deadline for
taking the version 1 exam. I was again ready to prepare for the version 2
exam in October and I looked at several books. I purchased the Exam Cram
Routing book while I was waiting for the Cisco Press publication to hit the
streets. Looking back I thought the Exam Cram book was a good exam prep
type book until I read the one by Paquet and Teare. The BSCN Cisco
publication by Catherine Paquet and Diane Teare came out in early November
and it totally eclipsed the ACRC books and the Exam Cram Routing book.
Paquet and Teare have done an excellent job in writing a clear, concise
Routing course book. The labs are excellent and do-able. This book will be
in my reference library as a permanent resident.
I am at the end stage in preparing for the Routing exam, I am scheduled to
take it this Thursday. I bought the Boson CCNP practice exams and have been
taking them for the past two weeks. The exams are a good drill for going
back over the material I have read in the text (looking up the details in
items I missed). They are also a good way to learn the commands when you
must type them in as the answer to the test questions. The exam questions
are rather simple and I hear that the real thing has questions that require
reasoning. Overall the Boson exams are accurate, I have found a couple BGP
questions on topics not covered in the Cisco Press book and a couple actual
errors and some that are not scored properly. I will be a better judge of
their effectiveness after Thursday morning.
HTH,
Tom
