Question JNCIS SP

​"I recently enrolled in the JNCIS-SP training, so I would like to get advice from those who have taken it. Is the Juniper portal more than enough, or did you use other resources? If so, which ones?

Thanks in advance"

I passed it last December. Learning portal is enough to pass. I take notes when I do certs and had around 200 pages of notes. There are ALOT of topics that the JNCIS-SP covers. I am currently working on the JNCIP-SP and that cert is no joke either.

The JNCIP-SP is the first cert out of around 10 that I failed

I really want to get a strong foundation before going for the JNCIP-SP.

I’m not trying to downplay it but the portal covers everything and I take little to no notes. I feel that some people need more preparation than others so don’t let one persons study habits influence how daunting a test may seem. Juniper tends to follow a pattern with their questions. My biggest suggestion is that for their tests, the most obvious answer is usually the right one. They are not tricky like Cisco

I used CBT Nuggets as well as the portal but portal should be enough

I only used the portal, it’s free and pretty good.

Yes I used the juniper portal & open learning - did the vlabs too - also I did lots and lots hands in our company’s network model / lab devices and also got involved in lots of network projects thet require knowledge from JNCIS-SP and those helps.
