I'm sitting my CCDA exam in a months time and was after some advice on how people tackle those *&$#ing case studies!!

Is it best to take the time and write notes on each case study scenario as you come across them (3 or 4 per exam)? Or is it better to just read through the case study for each question?

I would be happy to hear any suggestions.

Cheers,

Bugz.

I took lots of notes, the first 15 questions took longer to complete than the rest of the exam.

I used both the cisco books, practicing all of the case studies and my note taking skills - concentrating on the key points.

When I came across a case study question, I would skim the text again to confirm the relevant part - it worked well for me and I had plenty of time left.

Good luck.

I read question first then went check case study. you don't even need check case study in some of the case study question. you got two hours which is more than enough consider there are about 50% non case study question.

Take the papers and divide into Have / Do
/ Want

Have
- Current Situation /

Do
- What you plan to do . based on what the customer wants

Want
- What the customer want

Use another paper to make a section with RESTRICTIONS and subdivide them into Business and Technical . I would def recommend this , as you WILL get minimum of 4 or so questions where they ask you business / tech restrictions . If correctly done , you could answer the question in less than 5 seconds , so that you could move on quickly to other questions
