[c-nsp] Question about the CCNA and CCNP certification

[Raymond Macharia]

A hint on doing the Cisco certification exams and passing!!,

 Do not skip any exam, yes its boring doing binary and hex while you should
be building some complex network solution with BGP etc but something I have
learnt is that with each exam passed the next one is usually easier just by
the fact that you get to understand Cisco's way on answering the questions.
Also items covered in the more advanced exam usually has the groundwork set
in the earlier exam and this goes all the way to CCIE.
Moral of the story, there are no short cuts.
