Score is 822. Passing score was 790. It came after four days of reviewing IPv6, Route maps, BGP,… In the beginning of the test I was taking enough time to read and answer the questions. However I lost much time in my first lab simulation. The scenarion wasn’t clear to me. And each time I had to click on the console button to reach a router. And I was not seeing changes in the routing table so it confused me a lot. I began to worry about my score. And I got my second lab simulation. And immediately after, the third. I told to myself: “man, what did I do to Cisco to treat me this way?” So I had almost 38 minutes to do the third lab sim and 32 questions ! Besides, the test supervisor was tearing papers on her desk. And the other guy in the room was complaining about the bug in his exam. I was going to scream. At the end, I was almost flipping through the questions. I finished the test. The test supervisor told me “congratulations!”.

study material:

  • Cisco Press Exam Guide
  • Cisco Student Guide
  • Cisco Press Lab Portfolio
  • Cisco Press BSCI Command Reference
  • Chris Bryant BSCI study guide
  • Lots and lots and lots of GNS3 labs
  • CBT Nuggets and some TrainSignal

and even after all this preparation, I feel I still don’t master all the topics. That’s where come hands-on experience and individual reading.
