Cisco EnCore Study Schedule recommendations

---

My goal is to be CCNP EnCore certified. Is there a schedule that you could recommend? I bought the Cisco Press official study guide and paid for a year of membership.

@Raymond-Houghton,

I would set a goal for the exam date (currently: this will be dependent on if testing centers are opened or not) so let's say...90 days from now. Go download a copy of the exam blueprint with all the exam topics. Set up a schedule by dividing the topics to cover over the next 80 days.

Mark up the blueprint. List out your hardest topics, then medium difficulty topics, andthen topics for review. Cover a difficult topic, and a review topic or 2 each study session. Use ITProTV's ENCOR session to help you focus on the topics.

Post questions here about topics you don't understand or need help on. Anthony and I monitor this particular session.

Also I've move this to the Cisco section of the forums.

Thank you for your guidance

@Raymond-Houghton,

also I created this youtube video to help with exam study fatigue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saUDTJwllTQ. has some of the same advice.

Yes - what Ronnie said! :-)

And I am creating an expanded study blueprint for ENCOR tonight at my blog. The blog is at AJSnetworking.com. This expanded study blueprint further enumerates what you need to know.

You can use this new and improved blueprint to craft your schedule.

So the best way to read the book is to start from chapter one until the end or where I find what is most difficult like the recommendation above?

@Raymond-Houghton,
You of course can start that way but it's hard not to become fatigued reading through that tome. It's Yuge!

I recommend the pattern that I mentioned that will be a more focused study. Do a 90 minute study session. For example, find a topic that you're good with for review (15-20 minute); find your weakest topic, spend 60 minutes hard study, notes...etc. then 15-20 minutes end with a another review topic.

Thank you sir
