I've been studying for 5 months with majority of materials mentioned. I find using dumps to be beneficial as well. They help a ton because there are too many trick questions and stuff the courses don't cover.
I just passed ENCOR this morning. I can confirm with what you are saying. The exam is relatively easy. Some topics are a little challenging. It all depends on how much you prepare yourself. I agree with the training. I did videos, exam prep questions, book and then labs. I will be focusing on ENARSI next, then DEVNET professional. And then onto the CCIE.
Thanks for sharing sir! I'm working towards the ENCOR, taking it July. I'm kind of nervous but this helped my convinced that my approach should work haha congratulations sir! Next step, CCIE!
I failed 300-101 ROUTE a few times, so I totally understand the feeling of "unfinished business" for ENCORE and ENARSI. Thanks for the motivation! I'm taking ENCORE soon.
I hear you, I failed NP Switch 3 times before passing which is supposed to be the easiest. So for the overall gist I'm getting is Encore is blend of the previous NAs -R/S, Sec, Da ect.. All the practice questions don't seem very high level.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Greg. After watching this I'm almost certainly going to be taking out a sub for CBT nuggets. I've never thought about watching videos first, taking notes then circling round to the book later. Maybe I'll need to try it this way for ENCOR.
About to take mine on July 17th. Currently using CBTNuggets, official certification guide, etc. Thanks man and just for fun "your beard seem to have grown!!" Was surprised during Devnet demo jam. Your nuggets for CBTNUGGETS encore are great
Hi Knox, Congratulations on passing your ENCOR 350-401 exam. Great achievement!! Thank you for sharing your exam experience with us. Keep going toward your CCIE. Stay safe!
Thank you for this video. I just started preparing for the exam, though I am a CCNP Enterprise (grandfathered from CCNP RS) and CCIE-Collab. I am just fascinated by the new exams and want to go CCNP Enterprise track and CCIE Enterprise.
Thanks Knox for sharing your journey and experiences. Congratulations. I'd like to know your honest view about Boson exsim vs. CBT nugget Practice exam.
I know I'm a bit late to the party here but congrats Knox! I've got my ENCOR exam booked for 22/04/2022 and let's just say the BOSON exams have given me a bit of a shock... There seems to be quite a lot in there which I don't recall being mentioned in CBT. My method is also CBT with notes, then book (also with notes to fill in any gaps), then repeat CBT labs and study every question / answer explanation in the BOSON exams. Really hope I have time to get it together! I'm skipping the OCG and going with "31 Days" instead. Still got 2 3rds of the book to get through then onto the labs. Fingers crossed.
@@jeliud17 I passed! I checked my score by starting the process to book a CCIE lab exam (they don't list your score on the report anymore) - I got 825, bang on the wire, but a pass is a pass.
Glad you passed! I read a blog by Kevin Wallace (the author of the last CCNP Troubleshoot OCG) and he took the TSHOOT and failed - what does that say about the previous exams :) Being a content creator doesn't guarantee you can think like a cisco test writer. I've also had issues with the new OCG's first edition having errors and having to dual read it + errata + RFCs and "war stories" to make sure I'm getting the right info. You've at least sold me on a month of CBT nuggets.
I can’t speak for other creators - just for myself. My main “purpose” in content creation has always been centered on learning the core functionality so you can do it in the real world. I’ve never liked trivia questions personally. I think that’s why I enjoyed the DevNet exams so much. They were the most real world oriented exams I’ve seen
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am planning to take the encore in September. Im on the infrastructure section now. What were you using for labbing. Do you think Packet Tracer is sufficient for this exam
I already have my CCNP: Enterprise, but need to renew. I did the old ROUTE/SWITCH/TSHOOT for the R&S which became Enterprise. Automation, LISP, VXLAN, and DNA Center are entirely new as is some of the Wireless material. QoS and Multicast I have some exposure to from the CCIEv5 OCG (I had intended to pursue CCIE after CCNP but my career took me another direction). Does the exam go very in depth with this new material (Automation, LISP, VXLAN, DNA Center, QoS, and Multicast)?
I'm at this point where I passed a college course that went through NA & NP and Barley passed the lab finals for them I got a 100% but its pass fail & wasn't exactly sure on some aspects now graduated looking to go for the certifications now but idk where to start with self studying
Hi all, I have CCNP R&S certification and it expires soon. My understanding is if you I want to take only one exam to recertificate Encore is the one. But apparently if it expires, you only need Encore plus one concentration exam. Is this ok? If I cannot make it for the deadline, it doesn’t look this dramatic because you need to pass only two exams, instead of passing CCNA first and then the old 3 Routing, Swithching and Torubleshooting. Is it right? Thank you.
I took the exam today and boy was I disappointed. I feel that no one is really honest about how the exam is. My score was 810 and I failed and I kinda wasted 400 Euros on an exam that I would never pass no matter what imo. The OCG, CBT Nuggets and Linkd +4 months of studying almost 6 hours a day, were not enough for the amount of off topic questions that I had no idea what they are talking about (Like 4 XML questions and here I was trying to learn python and Jason). Did I learn something the last 4 months, YES! Will I ever take the exam again, never, because it doesn't make sense financially and I am very disappointed from that. I will keep on learning new stuff from Cisco related tecnologies but I guess I kinda gave up on certification and it would be a waste of time trying to relearn the same stuff again, while I can improve myself in different fields that would directly correlate to my work and real jobs and not memorizing the sevirity codes, which I did btw, but I find it a useless and a waste of time. Rant over :D
No this is an old video but I thought I’d ask it anyways I took my cc in a back in 2013 and a few other Cisco things mostly been working in telecommunications so I use routing but not all the time play with it here in there and I’m taking the devnet associate and was just curious if I’m gonna need to take the CNA or can I just go right for the MPD or is it way too hard for me to probably grasp I guess I’m just trying to cut down on the expensive of all the Certs that’s it. Appreciate the video.
Hi 👋, one question when you say your study method is Nugget, book, lab and practice exam, do you follow this chapter by chapter? or do you finish first nuggets and when you see all videos jump to books and so on? Thanks man you're doing great 👍 🙌 👌
Good question! I do ALL the Nuggets first, then read ALL the book. Then labs and practice exams kind of happen at the same time. SOMETIMES - not often - I will do a lab immediately after watching or reading something. Like MPLS L3 VPNs - so many technologies and commands happening at once that I needed to lab it before moving on to the next thing
Hi, Thanks for making and showing the video. Question for you, reference services section of the OCG. How do you retain in your memory all the key facts? Normally I watch the vids and do labs, like most people do.
I find that a lot platforms are good for configurations but not theoretical questions like the one about the logging synchronous all. Does CBT nuggets focus on what you need to know other than configurations?
It's probably a shot in the dark considering how late I've arrived, but what were the VRF/IPsec configuration questions like? What were you asked to do?
Hi Knox, have a question regarding the exam pattern. I am planning to take the Encor exam and would like to know if the new exam allows us to mark and review questions at the end or allow us to go back to previous question? I know they have not done it in the past, but curious if they are doing it now.
just a question. did you finish the whole CBT nuggets first > then finish OCG > then exam? or a topic from CBT > a topic from OCG > then practice exam?
Hi! I'm a Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core after I passed the Route 300-101 and Switch 300-115 exams. To get the new Professional level which exam do I need to pass, 350-401 ENCOR or a concentration one? Thanks a lot!
Did you pass old 642 series exams? I got old CCNP/CCDP and you inspired me to go for updated CCIE now. But it seems that valid CCNP/CCDP don't do any favor to me: I still have to take ENCOR exam and CCIE lab? Except that I don't need to take secondary CCNP exam, but that's a good thing to have.
My CCNP just expired what Exams do I need and how many do i need to take to get the equivalent I think ENARSI and ENCOR . correct ?or just one exam to get the CCNP? Was ther any subnetting questions and Simulations involved? Thanks
Seeing this makes me feel like a bit of an imposter. I finished my CCNA in August last year, then as soon as the Certpocalypse was announced, got back in the books and managed to complete the CCNP ROUTE, SWITCH AND TSHOOT by February to gain the CCNP R&S Cert and obtain the new ENCOR & ENARSI as a plus. Now i'm starting to work with some of the technologies that I never learned, but i'm apparently certified for, like Wireless, SD-WAN, Automation, even just IPSec tunnels. From watching this, I've decided to close the gap by going back to the ENCOR and ENARSI to get up to speed.
Hi knox, just wondering what lab equipment would you recommend in general for CCNP ENCOR and the specialist exams that would accommodate the need for practice ? I currently have two 3750X switches with lan base IOS not sure if it would suffice for the new syllabus ? Please help, thanks !!
Great video Knox. Without violating the NDA, how similar are the boson questions to the exam questions? I've done the encor course work, currently doing the boson exams.
You may have already answered this..Im curious to see what you do once you pass all of the specialty exams. WIll you then just start labbing all the technologies over more in depth to prepare for the CCIE LAB?

Congratulations 🎉🎉. I noticed you reference actual equipment from eBay. How do you feel about using either GNS3 or packet tracer?
Hello Knox, did you have to type in commands to configure switches and router for this exam or it was just multiple choice questions?

I find that a lot platforms are good for configurations but not theoretical questions like the one about the logging synchronous all. Does CBT nuggets focus on what you need to know other than configurations?

Good lord that is a lovely beard, my man
Hi Knox, have a question regarding the exam pattern.

Do you recommend taking the CCNA first or would I be ok jumping straight to the CCNP? I have Net+ and Sec+ with about 3 yrs of networking experience.
CCNA first, probably
@@DataKnox Thanks for the fast response
Did you pass old 642 series exams? I got old CCNP/CCDP and you inspired me to go for updated CCIE now. But it seems that valid CCNP/CCDP don't do any favor to me: I still have to take ENCOR exam and CCIE lab? Except that I don't need to take secondary CCNP exam, but that's a good thing to have.
I attempted ROUTE but failed 3 years ago
I've been debating whether I should take the CCNA or skip right to CCNP Enterprise. I almost passed my CCNA back in February.
My CCNP just expired what Exams do I need and how many do i need to take to get the equivalent I think ENARSI and ENCOR . correct ?or just one exam to get the CCNP? Was ther any subnetting questions and Simulations involved?
Thanks
You need ENCOR + 1 elective such as ENARSI. Not sure I can answer the others without violating the NDA but check the exam blueprint
Seeing this makes me feel like a bit of an imposter. I finished my CCNA in August last year, then as soon as the Certpocalypse was announced, got back in the books and managed to complete the CCNP ROUTE, SWITCH AND TSHOOT by February to gain the CCNP R&S Cert and obtain the new ENCOR & ENARSI as a plus. Now i'm starting to work with some of the technologies that I never learned, but i'm apparently certified for, like Wireless, SD-WAN, Automation, even just IPSec tunnels.
From watching this, I've decided to close the gap by going back to the ENCOR and ENARSI to get up to speed.
You could honestly consider going straight for the CCIE if you feel even somewhat comfortable with the L2/L3 sections
Hi knox, just wondering what lab equipment would you recommend in general for CCNP ENCOR and the specialist exams that would accommodate the need for practice ? I currently have two 3750X switches with lan base IOS not sure if it would suffice for the new syllabus ? Please help, thanks !!
I love EVE-NG for simulations!
Congrats. So, are you saying that the Boson practice test are better then the Kaplan practice test that are on CBT Nuggets?
It depends on the specific exam. You can never have too many tool in your toolbox
One more questions, did CBT nugget team provides test exam for this preparation including in course? This I couldn’t find in course.
There should be a practice exam with the course, I think. I would recommend reaching out to Learner Support to confirm!
@Data knox I want to join institute as I m not from this back ground .can I go for these certifications I need your suggestions
Congrats. Do you guys have plans to record service provider content ?
I would love to once I’m done with our Enterprise content!!
how long would the course last if you studied yourself in your opinion? I have ccnp
Great video Knox.
Without violating the NDA, how similar are the boson questions to the exam questions? I've done the encor course work, currently doing the boson exams.
The boson exams were a crucial part to helping me pass
Hey Knox, what resources did you use to troubleshoot wireless, or did you use any at all?
Thanks!!
Boson exams were super helpful there
You may have already answered this..Im curious to see what you do once you pass all of the specialty exams. WIll you then just start labbing all the technologies over more in depth to prepare for the CCIE LAB?
I am going straight for CCIE EI lab
Hello there! My question is how long would you estimate it should take to finish the CCNP ENCOR Exam? I'm a full time NE and father.
