Today I passed my CCIE written exam, to take the exam I used SamHallabi BGP Book, Jeff Doyle - CCIE Tcp/ip Routing vol1 and vol2, CiscoPress R&S Cert Exam Guide vol 2 (2006) and the popular Cisco Documentation CD. My impressions from the CCIE written exam are: This is an absolutely pointless test, when you prepare for it you have to forget for all that you know about how things are working, there were some crazy questions in which you see more than two correct answers but you cannot choose between any of them and the question doesn't say 'choose most right or the most correct' or something specific which can direct you to the most correct answers.

Prepare yourself for "game day" of the CCIE exams in this second part of a two-part primer on Cisco's highest-level cert by the columnist of TCP Q&A. by Scott Morris July 2005 — Editor's note: To read part one of this two-part series, go here . There’s never any point in time when you will truly know everything. Similarly, there’s never any point in time when the exam will be as bad as you may think it is until you try it! So you can spend years and years “studying” for the CCIE written exam and never think you know enough to take it. But you won’t know until you try. And you may also surprise yourself along the way: You probably know more than you give yourself credit for. (Either that or you’re really lucky!) --------------------------------------------------------- http://tcpmag.com/features/article.asp?EditorialsID=91 ---------------------------------------------------------

Get on the right path to Cisco's highest-level cert in this two-part primer by the columnist of TCP Q&A. by Scott Morris June 2005 — Editor's note: To read part two of this two-part series, go here . Whereas desire alone can sometimes get you a certification, wanting to be a CCIE requires ambition and determination to endure a long and arduous trek across difficult technical terrain. After all, it’s one of the most sought-after certifications in the industry. As a matter of fact, more people want to be a CCIE than want to be the president of the United States, according to some surveys (obscure as they are). In my own poll, four out of five said they would rather be a CCIE than president! --------------------------------------------------------- http://tcpmag.com/features/article.asp?EditorialsID=89 ---------------------------------------------------------

I've read EANTC (europe advanced network testing center) performance report about Cisco vs Force10 (it's public and it can be found on internet) so we decide to ask force10 what they think about this report and they gave this answer, there it is: http://nabromov.googlepages.com/Force10-EANTCPublicResponse.ppt
