Hey everyone, after 2 month of actual studying and about 3 years of telling myself I should get this cert, I am finally sitting ICND1 tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty confident about it. I've been using my materials from WGU, CBTNuggets, Odem book, trancender and boson practice exams along with packet tracer, Gns3 and a physical lab I built. I was using the Pearson Network simulator but I stopped because it felt too much like hand holding through each process.Got my exam scheduled for 8am tomorrow so I'm hoping for a good friday! Back to studying a few more items!
*************UPDATE*****************
Well, I passed. Got a 960!!
Break down was:
Operation of IP Data Networks: 67%
LAN Switching Technologies: 82%
IP addressing IPv4 and IPv6: 100%
IP routing technologies: 100%
IP services: 100%
Network Device Security: 100%
Troubleshooting: 100%
I felt like I managed my time pretty well, ended with 20 min remaining. Like any other exam be sure to read the questions carefully! Didn't feel like my exam was heavy on any certain topic. My biggest advice would just know subnetting!
Also, if you're looking to take this exam, Boson practice exams are a great addition to your studies!
