Passed ICND2
Took the plunge and passed this morning with an 835. Thought I was going to fail the whole time, but I guessed luckily. I think I did well with the simulations, although they seemed unfamiliar on the output of the commands, but I was able to use deductive reasoning and eliminate wrong answers. Used Boson to study almost…

Second, from what I have…
