Passed the Cisco BGP test!
Okay, so I'm two weeks late on posting this but it's still exciting! I'm actively working towards the CCIP so I wanted to take this test before June so I can stick to my "study and pass a test within a reasonable timeframe" schedule. It's pretty difficult and I actually failed it on the first try (with a 750 out of a 755 passing score. Argh!). This time around I passed with a more respectable 912.
Without divulging too much, you should definitely know all of the testing objectives cold. They can be found here. Pay particular attention to the differences between IBGP and EBGP and all of the features each offers. I used the "Internet Routing Architectures" book by Sam Halabi and it was excellent. Even if you're not taking the BGP test, it would be a good idea to have that book on hand as a reference. Read it twice and the test should be a piece of cake.
