Passed 875

triplebenc

Just got back from testing center, passed w/ an 875! I know it's not that high, but to me a pass is a pass I ended up getting 2 simulations, ospf and rip. Time to lay back and drink a couple beers then get ready for the next cert. Since I only have a ccna I think i'm going to start up the A+ Certification, that way i'll have some computer hardware experience rather than just networking, what do you think?

I'd also like to thank you all for your help. Couldnt of done it without ya!

Also, for those out there debating on what to study with I used the Cisco Press Intro and Cisco press ICND as my 2 reading resources and used Boson Netsim as my simulator. The test is pretty much ICND but really in depth and if you know that book really well you should do well on the test in my opinion. I also took various free practice tests online and feel those helped me out quite a bit also.

I definitely recommend pursuing your A+!!!

Alot of jobs list it as a minimum requirement and it's fun too.

Sputter... sputter, gasp! Only? Only have a ccna? Sputter... sputter, gasp! Just Networking??? Okay, just kidding.

Someone has to perform hardware upgrades on the routers, and with an A+, that could be you. But you have to be careful, next thing you know you'll be doing desktop computers, and then you'll move on to servers, and if you're not careful, you might wake up some morning with a hangover and an MCSE.

Hey, nearly forgot, Congratulations!

You're in a good place with a respected certification. Other certifications will just make you more valuable.
