MikeS, I think you just found a rock.;-) I couldnt agree with you more.
To answer the initial question:
Routing - 690
Switching - 699
Remote Access - 706
CIT - 692
All CCNP exams are 62 Q's (I think one had 64). So you have to get about 70% in each exam. However, the exam is marked using a sliding scale where some Q's are worth more points than others. In one exam I thought I kicked some ass and ended up just passing. In another I thought I blew it and still ended up scraping through. The final mark at the end of the day may not be a true reflection of how many Q's you answered correctly so do not be discouraged/egotistic either way.
Heres my overview of them.
- In each exam, 50% of Q's are "give-me's". If read a good text reference (ie. Cisco Press + study guides, braindumps) a copy of times you should easily get these correct.
- The remaining 50% rely on you understanding the concepts well so you can use logic deduce the answer, have some pratical experience so you can say "I've seen that before", some luck, some ass etc..
Good luck to those who seek these certifications. Well done to those who have achieved it. But as MikeS has diplomatically pointed out, there always people out there with more knowledge than you, and knowing that it should inspire you to the next level.
