Really, the best thing to do is learn the objectives. Having taken and passed the test, that is the best study advice I can offer. The OSI model and knowing ALL the commands are important as well.

Boatman, good luck on the exam. I'm scheduled to take the Intro test on the 9th. Besides reading the study guides, what are you using for practice exams?

Boatman

He's nailed it.

'bout all I can add is. . . if you have the Cisco Press INTRO book, test like crazy on the included CD.

Boatman, I haven't seen a reply from you yet so I was wondering how your exam went. I hope you did ok. I just took my Intro exam a few hours ago and passed with a 914.

Maybe the info in the Cisco web page is out of date but the minimum passing score on this test was 825, not 876. Maybe Cisco "lightened up" a little.

Boatman

CONGRATS MAN lol i didnt pass got a 821 and needed 825 im gonna retake it friday tho lol

sorry to hear that Boatman. Don't let it get you down. It's not an easy test. They hit me over the head with a router sim on my first question and I just about died. LOL! You'll nail it next time for sure and you already know what the test is going to be like. GOOD LUCK!!
