[plug] CCNP BCMSN exam

[Evan Lau]

Hi everybody,

Just wondered if anybody here did the CCNP BCMSN (multilayer switching) 
exam 640-504 lately....and if so, what did they think of it?

What kind of questions were involved....general useful conceptual stuff 
or useless specific stuff (eg. what SAINT does)?....a lot of command 
line questions?

Also, if you go to http://www.mcmcse.com/testing/index.php and select 
the 640-504 exam and look at the questions, does this accurately depict 
what kind of questions and what sort of topics are in the exam? Or is 
it outdated or irrelevent?

Lastly, any recommendations on good preparation books (for all parts of 
CCNP)? What is your opinion of the Preparation Library and 
Certification Library by Cisco itself?

Thanks in advanced for any help. I hope the answers I'm seeking don't 
violate any of the explicit (or implicit) agreements you had to sign 
when taking the test.

Cheers,
Evan

PS     How much is each of the CCNP exams? Anybody take the huge 
combined one?
