Epic Failed CCNA R+S

Well, it's been about a week. I scored a 600. It was a terrible test. I realized that I did not have enough practice. Of all things, ACLs messed me up. I mean right off the bat the very first question messed me up for the rest of the test. I've been playing around with packet tracer and building networks from scratch and I started some tutorials that I downloaded from this site. There is a lot going on right now so I probably won't retake it until July or August.

What books/study materials are you using?

Did you take the combined exam? That one seemed daunting to me, so I elected to go the two test route. Maybe consider that? It's the same price + $5.

Tough getting kicked in the gut right out of the gate! But you know where you need to improve and will knock it out next time. Best of luck

i prefer to bomb out then nearly pass. failing by a couple point frustrates the hell out of me. epic fails make me study.

I realize it contextual and nothing happens until you deep dive and get into the thick of things but can you fake an epic fail and self-administer fire in buttock to avoid OPs consternation of failing.
