If anybody asks me for advice on how to pass the CCNA or any of the CCNP modules I would always say to book the exam and work towards that date. Otherwise you just end up casually reading the books meandering around the topics and the next thing you know its 6 months later and your playing computer games all the time and have forgotten about it.

So I took a bit of my own advice and booked the exam, I admittedly was also swayed by Brandon posting a coupon (which worked when I used it!) for 20% off all Cisco written exams. I have booked the exam for the 26th of September, as it fits well into my timetable and I should be able to totally finish of the CCIE Routing & Switching Exam Certification Guide 3rd Edition by Cisco Press at least a month before the date, this provides me with enough time for me to look at some secondary material and do lots of those Boson test questions that came with the book to find my weak spots.

Even with 20% off its still blooming expensive!
