try I wouldn't call what they have as brain dumps. More like cliff notes. Makes for a good introduction into the books.

Uh oh---I cannot speak for anyone here, but I myself do not condone braindumps. Any reason you feel the need to pass this so quickly? It's easy to memorize screenshots of the actual questions, and there is a lot of controversy around this.

I wouldn't really advise skipping out on the books for any of the tests. What I've gotten from instructors is that anything in the books is fair game on the test.
The study guides on cramsession have never been enough for me to pass a test, but I like using them for 2 things:
1. A guide to get a good overall feeling of what will be on the test before I start to study
2. final review before taking the test. Even if it only keeps the broad topics fresh in my head, it's enough.

You specifically said:
lerdalt..thanks for the resource. Books are good, but there so much information that I just want to filter out stuff that's most likely will not be on the BCMSN.
I got news for you, it is all on the test in some way shape or form. The book should be the #1 resource you use. You must understand it backward and foreward to pass that test.

Nicole,
I agree with Belushi, lerdalt and Burt - read and study the book or several books FIRST - as well as as much hands-on that you can get!
Then once you know the subject matter like the back of your hand get a good - legit study guide like lerdalt said!
Braindumps and testkings just lead to paper certs and at this level it would come back and haunt you :-(
Hope this helps!

May sound obvious, but try
I found the best way to utilise Cisco's website was to study from the book, but when I came upon a specific topic that didn't make sense or I needed more information on, I would go to Cisco.com and start researching that one topic.
