BCMSN 642-812 Exam Advice Needed

[Ludoggg]

About a month ago I just passed the CCNA and will continue with the CCNP track. I am taking the BCMSN exam first and wanted some advice what I should expect when I take it. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I just passed my BCMSN with an 824. I used the following:

1. Official BCMSN course from Cisco via Thomson NetG
2. Hands-on Labs
3. Official BCMSN Cisco Press Study Guide
4. Official BCMSN Cisco Press Cert Guide
5. Test King Practice Exams

If you want an exact feel for the exam, I check the Cisco Cert community. The practice BCMSN test questions were identical to the actual exam. Overall, I would say the hands on labs were easy. Once you average above 85% on the practice exams and can run through the labs without assistance, you should be ready. I know I missed a few Spanning Tree questions, but did well on all other sections. BTW, make sure you manage your time. You can't mark an answer to return later on.

Good luck.

Rgds,

John

I passed with an 868 a couple months ago. I used the cisco press official cert guide, bryant advatange study guide + lab time, as well as cisco.com, ccnp prep center. the test questions were pretty well distributed among all the topics listed on cisco's web site.
good luck
