| so do you think it would be wise to order any book for the CCNP right now, or wait till the new material is out.
Particularly lookin to go for Sybex CCNP study kit by Odom et all.
Cheers. | |

| I think you have to wait for the new books to come. But if you need to try the beta exams, most of the current beta exams will not be conducted after May 30. Today is May 19. Is the time gap enough for you to buy a book and study? | |
