CCNA Passed!

I have put a lot of hours in studying between my last attempt of ICND2 and now. I had originally planned to put a whole month before my retake but I ended up having an unexpected day off and decided to go for my exam again. All the studying between the attempts really paid off. There is nothing like that feeling of seeing the pass and sitting back in the chair knowing that all the hours you have put in have paid off. I intend to roll right into the CCNP now that I feel like I have a better understanding of the CCNA material. I only had about 15-20 minutes to spare last time but this time I finished the exam in around 45 minutes. I felt much more confident in my answers this time. A big thanks to everyone here for the encouragement after my fail on my last attempt. You guys are awesome! For anyone else gearing up for the exam I implore you use as many different resources as you can. I really feel that adding the books to my study material for the 2nd exam really benefited me.

Study material:
CBT Nuggets
Chris Bryant CCNA Bootcamp
Live lab
Packet tracer
GNS3
Odoms book (added after 1st attempt)
Todd Lammles book (added after 1st attempt)

Score results:
Score: 947
LAN Switching Technologies: 100%

    Awesome man, congrats! Was looking forward for you to make a "passed" topic. Looks like we'll both be hitting the CCNP studies!
