| I passed the ARCH test today, so am now a CCDP.
Studying the CCNP exam guides and practical study guides along with some home lab work really helped before tackling the CCDA/CCDP track.
I read the CCDA self study guide and the exam cert guide for the DESGN test.
I followed up with the ARCH course book for this test. The ARCH course book has everything you need to know to pass the test.
I am now going to start studying for the CCIE R&S written. I have all of the Cisco recommended reading books and a very nice home lab setup. I plan on taking the written test before the year is out. I will do my own home labs with 3rd party and cisco lab guides while preparing for the lab. The week before I plan on taking the lab test, I will take a CCIE boot camp to get some feel for the actual lab and also some instructor insight on how to translate the Cisco lab requirements. |
