Study Tips

1. Print out a copy of the exam blueprint from the Cisco website. Use this as the basis of your notes, and don"t consider yourself ready for the exam until you are completely comfortable with ALL the topics on the list. The blueprint changes occasionally, but the current version can be found at: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/rs/wr_exam_blueprint_v3.html
2. Buy a few books. This seems simple enough, but I"ve found there are two types of books lists for the CCIE - those for the lab and those for the written. They"re not the same. For our purposes here, there are two things we want to accomplish with our reading: to quickly get the written out of the way to start the long road to the lab; and to try as much as possible to conserve money and time by finding and reading materials that are applicable to both.
   Cisco.com has provide a book list, they can be found at: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/rs/book_list.html
3. Download sample exams. There are several available, including www.certay.com and www.exam4sure.com, but regardless of which vendor"s questions you choose, take advantage of a significant pool of questions, and select products by different authors. The subject matter for this exam is broad, and you want a good selection of material to study from.
