Subject: CCNP done
Group,
Though I rarely contribute, just wanted to say that after a long and more
round about approach than most, I finished the CCNP. I have to pretty much
internalize the satisfaction that I got from passing, because outside of
this list and and the networking industry, who the hell knows or cares what
a CCNP is... I was disappointed when I got home and told my wife that she
didn't start doing cartwheels, but just gave me the courtesy,
"Congratulations honey"... Anyhow here's what it took:
March '00 ACRC 1.0
April '00 CLSC 1.0
Nov '00 BCRAN 2.0
Dec '00 Support 2.0 (failed the CIT 1.0 before it expired)
The best materials I found are the Cisco Course materials handed out at the
classes. I was unable to attend any of them, but through some buddies, I
was able to get 3 out of the 4 course handouts...
Some advise: If you have a highly intense workload during the day, or get
sucked into design meetings often, don't schedule exams for after work, the
best times are the morning or weekends (at least for me). I made the
mistake of taking a few exams after work going into it with scrambled eggs
for brains.
Try to learn the material, not just expect to find an easy way to pass the
exam or expect people on the list to spoon feed you answers. Besides, if
you pass all four exams just from memorizing practice questions, fine, but
if you can't back it up in a production scenario, people will think you're a
joke. Hopefully the CCNP won't be degraded from those types. Well I guess
I'll take a little break away from "those stupid tests" (as my wife would
say), and, oh I don't know, maybe watch all 25 bowl games. Go Buckeyes!
Chris
