Re: CCIE Study Materials

Hello Tom,
I found Krzysztof ZaEDski's CCIE RS mind map to be extremely helpful when
covering all topics in the blue print. Here is a link to his PDF
http://inetcon.org/blog/?p=137

Outside of that make sure you document your learning using wiki, blog, word
doc.. whatever.. this helps you process the information better by writing
it down. You'll find yourself asking a lot more question and getting a
better understanding of the technology.

I also started writing a lot more review questions for myself on google
spreasheets and using apps like gFlashPro to review them. Any minute I have
like on a train or during lunch I can get them on my cellphone and run
through questions like what commands configure x, or what does feature y
do...etc. This helps me solidifying thins that don't want to stick in my
brain.

Hope that helps.

Tom
