Failed 640-722
This is the first test I've ever failed from Cisco or any other vendor. Passed NP tests with 900+, scored a low 600 on this. I can't believe how awful this test was. So much content not covered in the material in anyway, then topped of with super obvious questions that I 100% know the answer to....except all the multiple…

How long does it take to finish the CCNA without experience?

Your choice of Voice router
Hi, If you had an extra 2620xm, 3725, and 2811 . What would you pick for your dedicated CME router and why?
