I guess you never read the Cisco NDA which you agreed to before you started
the exam? Tch tch!

Subject: RE: ccnp routing [7:54579]


I sat this yesterday!

It is a bit differnet, and in my opinion, better.

Better because there is actual router simulation involved. I had to
configure OSPF on one!

I was caught out on IS-IS as I only started to study that at 6am the morning
on the exam. My diligence was rewarded with %20 on IS-IS content. I fared
better overall and go an excellent overall score (considering my performance
on IS-IS).

It focussed mainly on IS-IS (approx 10 questions), OSPF and BGP. Very little
on EIGRP. I have only really ever configured EIGRP and BGP and I still did
ok. Never seen OSPF before or since!

I studied for one week beforehand. I used the old Ciscopress 503 exam guide.
This was ok and went into more depth than the exam did. I borrowed the
course notes for the IS-IS content, but did not retain anything much in the
hour between 6am and 7am!

IMHO, you will be fine with having done the course and a bit of revision.
Some have said in cramsession it was way hard - only hard if you have not
prepared well! I relied on my practical experience and just browsed the
book. In the final 10 minutes, I was sure I had failed, as all the IS-IS
questions were at the end. I was running through my head when I should
resit, only to be surprised (really surprised...) that I had passed!

Hope this info is helpful
