Hi Guys,

I'm trying to judge if I'm ready or not...

I usually spend about three months all in, reading the Ciscopress book twice, make revision notes the second time, then do a Boson and whatever other practice questions I can find around the net.

I run a small WAN and I've had the occassional problem to sort out but it's EIGRP only so my hands-on experience is limited.

So what sort of experience did you have before you took the CIT? How long did you spend studying? Do you think I may be ready for it?

I'll probably have to pay for this one myself and I'd hate to waste 105 pounds (Sterling)!

I'd also hate to put it off for several weeks and find I can't keep the subject matter 'fresh' in my mind...

Regards
Peter

hi Haseeb_eng,

done that, skimming through the book and reading odd bits that catch my eye now.

I usually feel a bit nervous before an exam but this one seems worse. Probably because it's the last one, there's a bit of extra pressure on me...

peterd,

Study time is different for everbody. For me I took CIT about 5 weeks after Routing(Routing took 3 months of study).

I studied the Support exam cert guide from cisco press for 4 of those weeks. The test draws on the other 3 exams. I didn't find anything unusual(as with all exams, read the questions carefully !). I do know that the exam cert guide was right on with the knowledge needed for the exam(the questions on the cd was decent). If you have access to the Support exam cert guide, peruse it and see where you stand.

The cert guide along with it's cd and some supplemental stuff from cisco's web site(very minor - mainly for my own curiosity) is all I used to prepare.

Hi ea,

I've got the Prep books rather than the Cert books so I don't have the 'guide'. Is it available on-line I wonder?

thanks
Peter

peter,

I don't have the prep book. So I can't comment on its content vs the exam. Although I'm sure it covers it quite well.

I'm sure that you can buy the exam cert guide online( amazon,bn etc) But, why not go to a bookstore and look through it. It's cheaper this way and you'll get a good feel for the need-to-knows on the exam.

Hi k3bab

90 + VAT? I've always bought the exam vouchers at around 105 or so.

i take my cit this afternoon. i've taken less time on this one and have relied more on practice exams than usual so i'll post a note later on whether this was a good tactic.
