mgmguy1

I just got back from taking the ICND 1 test and I failed the Exam. I can say it was not by much.
I felling really good and I plan to retake here soon. It a nice day outside and I think I am going to go for a run and reflect on my test and then jump back into study mode tomorrow. This is the second time I have taken the new ICND 100-101 test.
The first time I bombed it. I did much better this time and I will pass next time.

Unlucky mate, what was your overall score? Looks like you just need to brush up on your v4 addressing/subnetting and probably compressing v6 addresses, types etc. Don't know if you do, but try and setup a physical home lab or GNS3/Packet Tracer to get your T.Shoot skills up.

You've got this next time

Thank you bharvy92. My total score was 722 , 804 needed to pass. I'm going to get this. My wife was sorry that I did not pass today but called me to say I've got this. She was very happy with my overall score as I am. It means stuff is sticking.

You were so close! Just take you worst categories and put a little more study in them. You will get it next time for sure!

Sorry to hear about failing. It's nice to read that your wife is totally in your corner and supports you. I truly know that feeling, because my wife is the same.

How come you aren't using Packet tracer? When you get more lab time in, that will raise your troubleshooting score. As already mentioned, getting a physical lab will help, but I only support the idea of buying equipment if a person plan to go beyond CCNA.

I have packet tracer and I have a small real lab. I just need more practice that's all. I have never been good test taker all my life.

You have 100% the right attitude and thats half the battle. Good luck man, if you need help or want more resources for a particular domain do not be shy to asking! -Cheers!

No shame in failing at all. Actually I have found failing has made me push myself further and study harder.. it's all worth it in the end!

It wasn't listed under your tools used "Resouces used Thus far", and that is the reason I mentioned it

Although for the CCENT there isn't much labbing to be done compared to whats needed for the ICND2 and beyond.

I look forward to seeing your posting saying you passed!!!

Great attitude! Keep at it your almost there.

Good luck for the next one dude, you've got this!!!! None of us truly knows success until we have failed at something, dust yourself off and smash it next time bro!
