I am looking at starting CVOICE sometime in the next month or so, and am looking for the best video series to supplement study. I used Mark Snow from INE for CCNA Voice, which was very thorough but pretty dry, and am considering maybe going with Jeremy Ciora from CBT Nuggets for the CCNP series. I have access to the INE video series for Mark Snow already, but wondering what peoples thoughts are on Jeremy's course, and if it might be worth the subscription fee to get his energy injected into the courses. I work with Voice daily so the content itself doesn't bore me to tears, but Mark Snow gets hard to listen to after the 30 or so minutes of video, though again he is incredibly thorough. Any suggestions?

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at CVOICE but I have always been a fan of Jeremy’s style. The CBT Nuggets might not be as thorough as some of the other vendors, but they are solid on the core concepts, and actually enjoyable to watch. Watch the samples and see what you think – If you’re going to read the book too (which you should) then no harm in either choice.
Coke or Pepsi? Why not both? I think Jeremy's teaching style is fun and practical, and Mark's is very thorough. Try'em both dude, it's not like they cancel each other out
My advice to anyone looking to advance their career would be to learn DevOps tools and methodologies. Learn how to write code in languages like Python and JavaScript. Not to be a programmer, but a network automation specialist who can do the job of 10 engineers in 1/3 of the time. Create a GitHub account, download PyCharm, play with Ansible, Chef, or Puppet. Automation isn't the future, it's here today and the landscape is changing dramatically.
Mark snow is very wordy, but I just pay for the download and watch them at 1.5 speed. Jeremy is good at the basic levels to intermediate levels, but I don't think he can touch mark snow or Vic, and I don't even think thats CBT nuggets goal.

So are you saying that Jeremy doesn't get as technical as Snow in the different topics? I really dig his teaching style, but I'd hate to skip over some extra depth for an easier but more personable video series. To address why I don't watch them both, I have the Cisco FLG already to read for CVOICE, and to be honest unless I absolutely need it I'm keeping resources to a minimum. I get plenty of experience at my job for understanding the technology through and through, I just need one good video source for lectures, as it makes digesting Cisco literature worlds easier.

no he doesn't. I haven't watched all his new series, but for example in the old series when they were talking gatekeeper you can tell that M Snow just had way more experience in that area than Jeremy and the old gateway gatekeepers test was known as one the hardest test in the voice series. In the multi site dialing he really doesn't go over globalization at a level needed to really understand it. I think he can get you pass the test, but thats about it. But thats the common thing with INE. They go well above and beyond what you need to pass the test, they make sure you can prove it in production.

Thanks so much man, that is exactly the information I was looking for, INE it is.

In this article, I will try to summarize all the Frequently Asked Questions in the ROUTE 300-101 Exam. Hope it will save you some time searching through the Internet and asking your friends & teachers.
1. Please tell me how many questions in the real ROUTE exam, and how much time to answer them?
There are 50 questions, including 4 lab-sims. You have 120 minutes to answer them but if your native language is not English, Cisco allows you a 30-minute exam time extension (150 minutes in total).
2. How much does the ROUTE 300-101 cost? And how many points I need to pass the exam?
This exam costs $300. You need at least 790/1000 points to pass this exam.
3. I passed the ROUTE exam, will I get a certificate for it?
No, Cisco does not ship ROUTE Exam certificate, it only ships you a certificate after completing the full CCNP track of 3 exams (ROUTE, SWITCH & TSHOOT) within three years. Once again we have to notice that you need to finish these three exams within three years (not nine years). Many candidates misunderstand this and think they have nine years to complete three exams.
4. Which sims will I see in the ROUTE exam?
The popular sims now are Policy Based routing sim, EIGRP OSPF Redistribution sim, OSPF Evaluation Sim and EIGRP Evaluation Sim and please notice that the IP addresses, router names may be different (it is also true for Drag and Drop questions)
5. How many points will I get for one sim?
Maybe you will get about 80 to 100 points for each sim, just like the CCNA exam.
6. In the real exam, I clicked “Next” after choosing the answer, can I go back for reviewing?
No, you can’t go back so you can’t re-check your answers after clicking the “Next” button.
7. What is the difference between the old BSCI & the new ROUTE exam?
In the new ROUTE exam, there are no IS-IS, DHCP, Multicast questions so you can ignore them if you are reading old BSCI books. In fact, DHCP & Multicast are good topics and maybe you will have a chance to learn about them in other Cisco exams.
8. Can I use short commands, for example “conf t” instead of “configure terminal”? Will I get full mark for short commands?
From the comments on this site, maybe you will get full mark for short commands. But sometimes short commands don’t work so please be careful with them. We highly recommend you should learn the full commands.
9. What are your recommended materials for ROUTE?
There are many materials for learning ROUTE but below are popular materials that many candidates recommend.
Books
CCNP ROUTE Official Certification Guide
ROUTE Student Guide
CCNP ROUTE Portable Command Guide
CCNP Route Quick Reference Sheet
Video training
CBT Nuggets
Simulator (all are free)
GNS3 – the best simulator for learning ROUTE
Packet Tracer
10. How much time should I spend on each sim?
You should not spend more than 15 minutes for each sim. Recall that you only have 90 minutes so if you spend 15 minutes for each sim x 4 sims = 60 minutes. The 30 minutes left is for solving 46 multiple choice & drag-and-drop questions. If you are not a native English speaker and have 30-minute expansion (ask the mentor to confirm) than you can spend 20 minutes for each sim.
11. Can I pass without doing sims?
As mentioned above, each sim will cost you from 80 to 100 points. In the real exam you will have to solve 4 sims that give from 320 to 400 points. Suppose you answer all other questions perfectly then you will get 600 to 680 points but the passing score is 790. It means that you surely fail if ignore them.
From the calculation above, if you miss only one sim the chance to pass is average but if you miss two, the chance to pass is very, very low.
12. Are the exam questions the same in all the geographical locations?
Yes, the exam questions are the same in all geographical locations. But notice that Cisco has a pool of questions and each time you take the exam, a number of random questions will show up so you will not see all the same questions as the previous exam.
13. I don’t want to lose points so should I use the “copy running-config startup-config” after finishing each lab-sim?
In the ROUTE exam, we can’t use that command so surely you will not lose any points if not using that command.
14. I passed the ROUTE exam. Do you have any site similar for CCNP exams? We have certprepare.com for SWITCH, networktut.com for TSHOOT, voicetut.com for CCNA Voice, securitytut.com for CCNA Security, rstut.com for CCIE Written & Lab, dstut.com for CCDA. Hope you enjoy these sites too!
15. Why don’t I see any questions and answers on digitaltut.com? I only see the explanation…
