Proper study time/material for ccent

Hello! I've recently completed my network+(today actually) and am moving onto ccent to study next! I currently have Wendall odoms ccna/ccent 100-101 book with lab/practice exam and plan on getting boson about mid way through to cement knowledge I've learned. Are those 2 things enough to go off of and pass the ccent or should I invest elsewhere (for the boson I mean, the book is actually our book for a networking class in the upcoming semester, go figure haha) also, would this be something I could do withing say, 2 months considering I just went through network+? Thanks for any and all answers in advance!

Yes that's enough material and yes it can be done in 2 months. Which Boson are you talking about though? The NetSIM or the Practice Exams?

Trite & True

I was leaning towards the ex Sim (practice tests) over the netsim, but I'm up to any suggestions on either way to go

I'd go with the practice exams if you already have the labs from the Odom book.

Is the ccent lite software (that comes with odoms book) enough lab experience or do I need another source?

The lite only includes some of the labs. I would get the full version. It's expensive but well worth it.

Trite & True

If I bought the full version, would the labs be sufficient for the ccna test as well or would I need something else (Lab wise) for the 200-101 test?

Sorry about all the questions, just trying to be sure of things before I make purchases haha

No. The full version of the labs go far and beyond what the test tests you on. So you should be all set.

Alright then! My full study materials will be as follows: Wendell odoms ccent/ccna icdn1 101-100, boson ex-Sim max (practice tests) and the full version of odoms lab software!

Hopefully I'll be down pact for this test! Which, I hope, will be in about 2 months. Then onto ccna!
