New here - Just introducing myself

Hi all,

I'm currently studying for the ICND1 exam in a classroom setting, I might be doing the ICND2 exam by myself though and after running across a brilliant Subnetting Made Easy thread made on these forums that helped me a lot I've decided to stick my head in the door here.

I've been studying for the first exam for five months and am fairly confident of passing in a month or so. ACL's still giving me some trouble but I'll get there. Compared to ICND1, how much of an increase in difficulty is INCD2? Should I expect the same time frame of study for the ICND2 exam? Thanks.

I see that you already have your Network+ ?

If so, then you may be OVER-doing it.
I passed the first part in 3 months.

I think the second part can be accomplished in about the same.

But hey..
it probably depends on Life (family, kids, job, etc).

I found ICND2 more interesting and a little easier than ICND1 but to each his own. One key difference will be the amount of subnetting questions you can expect to get. If it takes you 6 months to do ICND1 you should expect to spend another 6 months on ICND2. It's hard to tell without knowing your study schedule though.
