350-001 CCIE Routing - Study Tips

CCIE Routing and Switching Written Exam 350-001 is a two-hour, multiple choice test with 100 questions covering Routing and Switching networking theory related to topics such as IP, IP routing, non-IP desktop protocols, bridging and switch-related technologies, and includes some equipment commands. The exam is closed book and no outside reference materials are allowed.

People commonly complete the CCNP exams before beginning to study for the CCIE Written. This is not a requirement, but rather the common path to follow, and it does help to prepare you for many of the topics covered. However, if you think the written is just an extension of the CCNP process, you?re wrong. The Written exam encompasses the totality of routing and switching with Cisco equipment. You?ll have two hours of being hammered with questions that can cover almost anything that can be done on Cisco networking equipment.
