Obligatory I passed thread.

Don't post here too often, but I do lurk quite often. Just wanted to say thanks to every one on this board as the posts here have been very helpful. So I studied for a little less than two months, using the OCG, CBTNuggets, my personal lab and of course here. Passed the ICND1 today with an 867, wish the score was higher but a pass is a pass. Probably should have taken it a bit slower as I finished the test with 42 minutes remaining. Overall I'd say the test was about as hard as I expected, nothing too crazy. For any up coming test takers, as mentioned countless times before, make sure you know subnetting like the back of your hand. Other than that know the main show-commands and how the switching and routing process works.


Here's my breakdown:

Operation of IP Data Networks: 100%
LAN Switching Technologies: 82%
IP addressing IPv4 & IPv6: 83%
IP routing technologies: 57%
IP services: 100%
Network device security: 100%
Troubleshooting: 86%

    Good job! I'm happy for you.
    Working on CCENT and nearly almost there. Retake in December and pass, then after that, study for ICND2 and work on CCNA Security and look into Microsoft certifications. No previous IT certs.

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.
