I would first like to thank God for the perseverance to keep going when I wanted to bail many times over and giving me the strength to stay on course. Next, I would like to thank my wife for her support. As many on here realize, the path of becoming a CCIE can take away a lot of family time, so support at home is critical! > > For written study materials, I used Internetwork Expert's workbook and highly recommend them.

Folks, these two guys are grade A and I cannot recommend their products any higher.

My only advice is to make a plan, practice every scenario you can think of, and get enough rack time to make your fingers bleed. Learn debugs and how to answer a question different ways. When you know 98% of the commands in your sleep, you know you are there! Any of the major vendor (IPExpert, Internetwork Expert, Net-Workbooks) are excellent and will give you the information you need to pass with enough practice. Just remember that no workbook, bootcamp, tutor, $$$$ of equipment, whatever will get you a passing score without enough practice on your part! There is no substitute! > > Best of luck to the candidates out there, and please feel free to shoot me a note if you have questions! > > Bobby > CCIE #19310! > > _______________________________________________________________________ > Subscription information may be found at: > http://www.groupstudy.com/list/CCIELab.html
