    All,

    I am making this post just so the info is easy to get to for all and to put my advice for passing the test out there. I will list the objectives for the test at the end of this post, they came directly from the 3Com university site. I have taken and passed the test twice now both on 7.0 and 7.1 so I can share that experience with you all and give you insight on how to prepare should you wish to aquire the certification.

    First I recommend you take the 2 week class if you have not. The test is a live exam and the lab you get in the class realy helps. Second studying the books alone is not going to do it! Practice on your lab equipment until you are confident in your ability to do configurations. Know troubleshooting "tricks" I recommend getting the latest copy of Steve Doan's VCX_TA tool it is awsome. Lastly make your self some good notes on the items you are a little weak on the test is open book and notes so they can save you a lot of heartache durring the exam.

    Here is a quick run down of what you have to do configure a system, set up cdr,run call traces, do back ups and restores, and trouble shoot services.You only have 8 hours to complete these tasks and it can be very stressful the first time you take it so be ready. Last if you have any questions post them here and I will answer as best I can without giving away direct test information.
