Just failed 837

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!

You're almost there

How long have you been studying for? and what did you use to study?

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

Very unfortunate

Pick yourself back up and get in there again.

Good luck.

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...
