CCIE Service Provider Written exam : 350-029 Exam

Hi guys,

I passed the written examination of 350-029 last month.
The examination questions cover broad knowledge points, so this exam has a certain degree of difficulty.
I spent about 3 months on this exam from preparing until passing it, 2/3 of the time is spent on studying the knowledge points, most of which are difficult to understand, it is necessary to spend a lot of time to learn.

I think all the IE exams are expansions based on a profound understanding of the routing principles, only understanding the routing technology, you can study further.
I suggest that you should not be anxious to take the exam, you can make a plan to study the knowledge points step by step and learn more specifically to prepare for the exam more efficiently.
You can examine the RFC documents other than some study guides, in which a lot of learning materials will be helpful for you study
Of course, it is necessary to study with practicing, which will make you know the test mode in advance and understand the knowledge points deeply at the same time. I spent the last 1/3 time of preparing phase on subjects of P4S, I feel the subjects of P4S are very helpful.

I hope the above information will help you.
Wish you passing the exam successfully.

Hi

I went for the beta exam but didn’t have much time to study. I will say that a big part focuses on BGP and IS-IS. QoS on the beta exam was really simple and if you review the same thing as the QoS exam, i think it s enough. I found a lot of question on RFC.
So I think the blueprint from Cisco is explaining well what need to be studied

I didn’t have any question on High End product. May be they will come in some times but I think they will be quite easy( CRS and IOS-XR are not quite yet widely used)

Good luck for your studies
