| Hi all, i am about to start my certification path for citrix.
First up is the cca exam in metafram xp next weds.
I am using the osbourne book for the cca, along with the ccea exam cram book & the user guides for the rest. I have around two years experience with Citrix so with any luck i should be able to pass the exams.
I will post here with my progress & findings.
Does anyone have a preffered order for the exams? | |

| Did Exam Cram finally come out with a CCEA book for the Metaframe XP track? The one I saw last year pertained to the 1.8 CCEA.
Please let me know, thanks. | |

| hi,
i think there is just a exam cram for mf 1.8 i would advise you to read the manuals from citrix.com maybe read them twice 
ciao | |
|
| Good Luck | |

| hi all, i passed my cca today with a 95% score.
the exam was far easier than i thought, maybe it was due to the excellent book from syngress, i dont know.

|
| Congrats on the pass! Great job  | |

Carl,
How many questions and how much time allowed?
Thank you. | |

| hi all,
The 220 test was 60 questions & 60 minutes. I think it states this on the Citrix website as a reference for this & the other exams, if you wish to check that out.
I am trying to think of things to say about the 220 exam but no questions in particular stuck out as being outside of the books scope. I read the book cover to cover twice to achieve a good pass.
I am happy to say i passed my 911 exam this morning with a pass mark of 85%.
The exam cram is pretty much on the mark to help you with this test, although i have had quiet a large amout of hands on experience with Resource Manager in general. It isnt a very large or complex application, i would advise just to work with it for a while & try out all the options in a lab.
I am studying hard for my next exam on Saturday which is Installation Manager. I will update you with my findings. | |

| awesome job | |

| Of the CCEA exams, I did 911, 921, 941 and 951. All of them can be passed easily with a good knowledge of the admin guide. So if your book doesn't cover those topics you'll only need the admin guides.
Plus your two years experience of course!
Good luck! | |
|
| thanks for the input | |

| Whats the passing score for 220? | |
| Carl_Docklands 2003-01-11, 7:23 am |
| Hi again,
I passed my 221 exam this morning with a 90% mark. Just read the manual for installation services & work with it a little, this exam was the easiest so far.
I think my two final exams on secureica & nfuse on monday & wednesday will be considerably more difficult.
So its back to the books for me, hopefully ill have some good news to report next week. | |

| 4 down 1 to go !
I passed my citrix secure gateway exam this morning. It was a tough exam, i barely passed there were lots and lots of questions :>
The timelimit was tight for me also, security over ip isnt my strong point & something i need to work on definatley before i start my ccnp path.
On to wednesday & my final exam in load management. | |
|
| dude, you're kicking some serious butt over here! | |
| Carl_Docklands 2003-01-13, 7:24 am |
| thanks for the support freak, i passed by 1%. Make a mental note to study harder for that one if you ever take the ccea  | |
|
| true, but a pass is a pass, nobody will ever ask you if you passed a test by only 1% -- if they did that would be a pretty bad sign, huh?  | |
| thebonzodog 2003-01-13, 8:08 am |
| Well done!
Don't forget: 941 isn't just about Load Management, its also about the Program Neighbourhood. I was surprised at how little I was asked on the various rules etc. Program Neighbourhood is a big part of this exam.
But, you're doing the graft and you've got the experience so it shouldn't be too bad.
It is harder than 911 and 921 though. | |

| i passed my final exam this morning, thanks for the support.
CCEA has been tougher than i expected, the cca exam was a piece of cake, the others were more of a challenge :>
If any publishers are reading a CCEA book would sell like hotcakes.
I do not know what is next for me, i am considering doing a netapp cert if i can find a book | |
|
| why don't you write the book while it is all fresh in your mind? I will publish it for you from www.MCSEFreakPress.com | |
| Carl_Docklands 2003-01-22, 5:14 am |
| Hi Freak, very cool site. I wish i had the time to write something, i really do. But i am under pressure to level the cisco certification path from a number of sides.
Theres nothing like helping other people reach their goals, good luck with the site. | |
| thebonzodog 2003-01-22, 5:58 am |
| Funnily enough I too am embarking on the Cisco thread... | |

I understand... needless to say, you would have been compensated for your work.
Best of luck with the Cisco studies. Let me know if I can be of help | |
| Carl_Docklands 2003-01-22, 8:42 am |
| Thanks mate, same here, if i can help you with anything drop me a line. Ive got maybe 3 months max to clear the CCNP so its going to be tight. Although i do have the luxury of a few bucks to spend on some routers.
I do not know if i am good enough to pass the CCIE but im gonna go down trying
Ill be knocking around the CCNP and CCIE threads too, lets hope its a smooth ride :> | |
|
| 3 months for the CCNP? You're going to be busy! Have you looked into a bootcamp-type solution? It could help out... | |
| Carl_Docklands 2003-01-28, 11:11 am |
| Hi freak,
The problem i really can only afford the bootcamps for the CCIE and not for both. I will try my best, even if i cant pass the 4 i am pretty confident i can knock down 2 or even 3 of them | |
|
| I hear you. THey are quite expensive. I thought maybe your job could pick up the tab | |
| Carl_Docklands 2003-01-29, 12:08 pm |
| Good Call
Its going to be pricey though, £2500 for the CCIE written 2-week bootcamp and £3000 plus expenses for the the lab bootcamp.
I think doing the CCNP on my own will convince them i am serious | |
|
| it does convince me! |
