Pre test jitters

10Linefigure10Linefigure Member Posts: 368 ■■■□□□□□□□
Take CCNA ICND2 tomorrow at 2pm and am worried! Went over everything on the test objectives and feel good. Few small things that trip me up like reasons to use Netflow and sometimes the LSA types. Just feel there is so much to remember that some of the small fact memorization will fall through the cracks! Well anyways guys, update tomorrow!

    Good luck! Don't stress about it. As long as you have studied the objectives you will be good to go. No one remembers every tiny detail.

    Just review what you can in your last day, but make sure you get adequate sleep as well. Even if you fail, you can retake it and it isn't a big deal.

    I'm never really affected by nervousness or jitters once I actually start the test. At that point, there is nothing I can do other than try my best on the test.

    Good Luck on the test!
    It's normal to feel nervous just don't let it stress you out.

    You're nervous right up to the first question, then it's go time and you just forget about it and go to it. Good luck!!

    Good luck. Don't stress it. You will do fine. Nobody remembers everything.

    And maybe Einstein... lol.

    Just to note: I did score a 1000 on the ICND 2 and only 10 minutes left to spare. That counts for something right? icon_study.gif

    Wahoo! Yay! Passed! icon_cheers.gif Thanks for all the support guys. Looking through the forums for questions people have asked, posting some of my own; and the practice tests were all a help.

    -Much appreciated!

    Thanks man, I appreciate it! You got a perfect score on it, thats impressive. I got 97% and 96% in Switching and IP technologies, respectively. The other 3 categories, mid 80%'s. Going to re-read IP services chapter, need work on that.

    sort of related, since this is my pre-test jitters. Are you allowed a calculator?

    if not what are numbers to remember? - I'm thinking the 2 to the second power is helpful.

    So those would be : 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 - will I need to know more than 2 to the 10th power?

    Or would I need a different set of numbers?

    IE [N + S = 1st /P] | [32 - H = last /P]

    anything else anyone could point out; maybe ports?

    No man, all I got was a few pens that write on a small sheet of laminated erasable paper. During the tutorial and when you read the agreements you may find some time to write the block sizes and do the 128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1 then some randoms like /27 so thats 3 past /24. Count down with your list, 128,16,32 so its a block of 32 :) and wildcards are one less then the block! Maby write some ports down too or other random stuff you read in the car and is in your RAM lol.

    For your powers of 2, know 4096, 8192, 16384 if you know the big ones the smaller ones are way easier to get on the fly.

    I'm somewhat antsy for my ICND1 exam that I am going to take in a few hours. The wait is KILLING me!! I've been studying and labbing, plus I got my 8 hours rest. Breathing helps...
