I would like to add a book to the list that you may not have considered and that I used as 70% of my reading study:
CCNP Cisco Networking Academy Program: Semester Five Companion Guide, Advanced Routing Mark McGregor ISBN: 1587130114 Also, the Lab Companion ( ISBN: 1578702348) provides a number of excellent practice labs to help you better understand the operation of the various routing protocols. HTH, Prof. Tom Lisa, CCAI Community College of Southern Nevada Cisco Regional Networking Academy John Neiberger wrote: 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=26773&t=26708 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
