Just failed 837

twiggy87

I just failed my ccna exam today with 837. So close to getting it, I dont think i've ever been so nervous.

The exam itself wasn't that bad, but it was mostly switching i.e vlans, stp.
I thought the exhibits in the exam weren't specific enough. Do they expect you to guess which ports are which? I beleive they could be more specific without giving away too much.

I will be taking my exam again in three weeks. I will pass it!
But for all you potential ccna's out there be sure you know all aspects of switching and routing.

3 Weeks?? You've seen the exam and have a better idea of what to expect now -- plus look how close you were. The waiting period between retests is only 5 days!

Okay -- but in 3 weeks we expect to see a score of 950+

Remember that there is a pool of questions -- so don't slack off in studying the topics on the exam blueprint. And, of course, be prepared for everything that you've already seen on the exam.

Good luck!

Why wait 3 weeks if you were so close. I say eat it while it's fresh.

You guys are right, im doing my exam next week now.

I think I realise what I did wrong last time so im gonna rectify that. Also I've been doing alot of work on ospf and switching/vlans.

I studied for 8 weeks before and im feeling pretty confident about it now, also since now I know what to expect.

I used:

CBT nuggets
CCNA study guide - richard deal
A home lab

Until then...
