in CCNA & CCENT
Squeaked by with 907/1000. The exam was more or less what I expected. Not being able to mark and or return to questions really sucks. I've had exposure to Cisco equipment while working and the OSI model/IP addressing while studying for my 4 year degree.
Although I had the study materials and lab setup since the beginning of the year I didn't start hitting things hard till about March.
Test Objectives - Percent Correct
Operation of IP Data Networks - 100%
LAN Switching Technologies - 100%
IP Addressing IPv4/IPv6 - 100%
IP Routing Technologies - 79%
IP Services - 100%
Network Device Security - 50%
Study Materials Used
Todd Lammle's CCNA Routing and Switching Study Guide
CCNA/CCENT IOS Commands Survival Guide
My Home Lab
3 x WS-3750 Switches
3 x 2801 Routers
My Advice;
If your studying to memorize each and every subject in the Exam Objectives not only will you go nuts but you probably won't be able to retain it all. The idea is to study and learn it.
As a aside, there was another person testing when I was. They were taking the composite CCNA exam and went in very unsure. When I came out the lady who was working the desk told me she's been doing this for some time and she's seen a clear higher percentage of passing rates for the two exam route vs the single exam.
I asked for her thoughts on that and she said there is just so much to "know" that very few people can just take it all in at once.
Especially if all they have is a Boot Camp under their belt.
Well back to the books. Want to sit for ICND2 in 30 days.

Thanks guys. I went to look at what dates were available next month in my area for ICND2 and there were only two. The 12th and the 26th. I ponied up the cash and booked the 26th. Man I hope I am ready.
Running on a tight schedule as I want to get ITIL Foundations V3 and CCNA Sec done as well before the end of the summer.Goals for 2014: Cisco ICND1[X], Cisco ICND2/CCNA R&S[X], Junos, Associate (JNCIA-Junos)[ ]
