Congs CCNP 2011 please share ur experience about D&D

Friends sort out the quetions from AT5.8_1Septembe which belongs to the following areas

1. Design security Services

2. Enterprise Data Center

Q14. A or C
As per the self study it seems A (first numberin cont block) ?

Q.243 A&C or C&D
Seems A&C ?

Q9. A&D or C&D

A – doesn’t mention “If there is no filtering” (pg 113 self study)
C – “The injected BGP or static route is not advertised to external peers and has no routing
impact outside of the local site” (pg 341)

A seems less specific than C?

C&D?

HP…earlier in the blog they confirmed Q14: c

guys we have been trying our leevl bet to raize the score but it keep on dropping , dont doo more R&D and go for exam more time you spend more u get confused , see CCNP marks are very close , So i sincerialy suggest you go go for it ..
on the basis of info what we evaluated by page no 7

as far as I see in many messages, there is here paticular “second edition” cisco self preparation book referenced….
I have downloaded this book by some of links provided, but this book seems to be valid for the previous version of the ARCH Exam.
Does somebody have the Book in pdf-format, that would be valid for the actual ARCH exam?
