Hi John, apart from the blueprint no one knows really what will come up or
how hard it will really be. You might have strong areas where you are asked
easy questions and vice versa. All you can do is prepare in the best
possible way. For me the core part of my preparation was the Internetwork
Expert Workbook. Without this product I would have lacked comprehensive
practical materials to prepare from. Keep a cool head on the day and know
where to find stuff on the CD.
