Has anyone got an opinion on the ccbootcamp notes for the written? How comprehensive are they?? How many pages? etc. ANy feedback would be appreciated. Actually I have a friend (now a CCIE) who said he used on these notes (and nothing else) and passed on the first try. I wonder if this actually might be true -- especially for those who have just completed the CCNP -- a lot of the suggested books and resources I used on my journey through the CCNP -- thus - perhaps such reading is simply a review?? Of course those who are going straight to the CCIE (without the CCNP) or who have been away from their studies for awhile -- probably would do good to review Halabi, Doyle and their compatriots! Anyway -- still awaiting -- with bated breath -- comments, criticisms etc. on ccbootcamp written notes. Thanks in advance.

The new exam is just that, a new exam full of unknowns. I'm sure it too will become well researched, but for the first six months everyone is going to be in uncharted waters with no map to get to shore. As someone who took the CCNP exams when they were first offered, I know what it's like to sail without a map, trust me. In its statement Cisco says that those who pass the existing exam will not be required to redo the written. If I were even planning to jump on the written in the next year, my recommendation would be to take advantage of this time window to cram my brain full and take the current exam while you can. There should be plenty of time to take a hack at this before the beta exam period finished on the new test. If you need help finding the right materials to study; just look in the archives. Grab a couple of the study guides, buy the notes from ccbootcamp, download the bosons, and absolutely analyze the archives of this group like it's the Rosetta stone.

The following sentence suggests that the CCIE written exam will change as well, that much is clear but what I don't understand is how and when the written will change. Will the exam still be 100 multiple choice questions with a two-hour time limit or will you now have to cable some gear and produce an addressing plan/diagram? Also, does the new qualification exam begin on October 1 as well? " The new CCIE format will move these basic tasks into an extended qualification exam and Cisco's other certifications, thus freeing the candidate's time for the more advanced CCIE skills." Maybe I'm missing something but I could use a little clarity on this one. Thanks, Ray -- Ray Lovett Network Engineer The Richards Group Dallas .
