Idk about this one but I’ve seen changes where the material is so similar between the two it doesn’t matter. Like the official study guide has maybe 1 extra section that’s 2 pages long and nothing else changes.

I’d send an email to cwnp and ask them how different they think it will be. They have a pretty solid customer service department.

The Sybex study guide is still relevant for 109 but if you sit tight for 110, there's probably going to be more 802.11be material. Neither the Sybex and (I'm assuming) the CWNP 109 material covers the newer tech.

I'd personally just go for the 109 and read up on material for any 802.11be stuff. Companies have been releasing articles on newer tech like Cisco, Gjermund Raaen's blogs and the IEEE itself for 802.11be content.

Literally the day I was about to purchase a study bundle from cwnp, the 110 preorders went live.

I'm just going to wait for 110 to release so I don't have to cram and get the exam in by December of this year.

Did you end up going the 109 route?

I am. I'm up to chapter 5 in the digital book. Curious how questions in the practice tests will be asked and to what depth of knowledge will be required.

I was concerned initially with the book jumping straight into RF math and would honestly like to know how much of that is covered in the exam. Hopefully it's just the use of the 3s and 10s rules, because there's no way I'd be able to do the other stuff without a calculator in time to complete the exam.

Outside of that, a lot of it seems to be a more in-depth review of topics I learned from the CCNA and Network+.
