OK
I have been working in IT for some time and am well over 50 years of age.
It took me aroung 9 months to complete with somewhat of a leisurely pace. I
am not one to cram just to pass the exam, or devote my life to it, but I
like to play with the labs and understand the material. I used the cisco
press books - the ones that are used with the cisco courses - Not the ones
that have the CDs in the back. I also used the Exam cram books for the 5xx
series. The Exam Crams may be getting somewhat out dated though.
I would read the Exam Cram book to learn the fundamentals then the cisco
book - do the labs and take notes - Then follow up with intensive Q&A for
about a week. Then take the Exam. This seemed to work for me.
I have a full lab and am becoming an expert on e-bay. I started with
several basic 2501s and a 2520 for my routing lab. Picked up and sold a
2901 for cat ios and 1924--en for my switching stuff. Picked up and sold 2
2524s for BCRAN along with a vconsole ISDN simulator. By the way be careful
when buying the simulator. When I sold the ISDN simulator the guy who made
it - Vconsole - under bid me with my own bidders at auction time. - very
naughty - . Once you get through the end of the course, if you have bought
carefully, you can resell most of your stuff back on e-bay and won't get
beat up too badly.
Right now, I have the 2500 s left along with the 2520 - have sold
everything else. I am thinking of trying for my CCIE in the fall. If this
is the case, it will be with a lot more time and effort than the CCNP and a
lot more expensive - I will need to add a 2610, 2620 and 3550. I am still
undecided - not sure if it is worth the effort and more importantly the
time away from family.
One last item - Learn the material - practice the labs so that you
understand what is going on. To me that is what makes this whole process
worthwhile. The brain dumps are, for the most part, a waste of time. The
Boson exams are OK but somewhat of an overkill.The transcenders are OK.
Test Kings are getting better with some decent explanations in the answers.
Keepin mind :: ->> Every Q&A that I have looked at has had wrong answers.
Also: What worked for me - may not work for you.

| Thanks everyone -
I think that one of the best tech books that I have come across is the
Cisco Press book on switching that goes along with the course - By Karen
Webb I believe. Great book - Makes the exam easy - Wonderfully written
