There are a few books that will be very helpful toward passing this exam and they've been recommended numerous times.
Routing TCP/IP Vol I Internet Routing Architectures, 2nd Edition I would add Advanced IP Routing in Cisco Networks by Slattery/Burton Those three books will remain in your library for quite some time, believe me. You might also want to take a look at the study guide for this test from Cisco Press. Regards, John >>> "Brian" 11/19/01 8:54:09 AM >>> I took the routing 503 exam, I guess I was not prepared enough because i failed. I did study, but obviously not enough. Also, just as a precaution, i used some study guides. Not only did I just use the guides, I looked up the meaning behind them in my books, so i would understand it. The only advice I have is not to use study guides because they do not work. I read exam cram, and syngress, but obviously not enough. I looked some friends guides Crambible, Keen, Troytech 503, Coolcram, and AF Bigstep. I was really using these guides to find out what kind of questions were on the exam, then to look them up. I needed a 690, and i got a 650. Well I guess this will only help me learn the subject better. More advice on taking an exam, give youself plent of time before you schedule it. I gave myself 2 days, and one of those days something happened where i could not study. Also i got in a traffic jam, and a bad day at work. By the time I was ready to take the exam, my mind was somewhere else and i was kinda shaken from the bad day. My testing center is open weekends, i dont know why I didnt take it on a Sunday or something. Oh well, I took 125$ lesson. I guess I will just know the subject really well next time I take the test, because I am going to be 100% sure of myself next time I spend the money. Please be gentle in your return post :) I feel bad enought :( Brian Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=26718&t=26708 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
