in CCNA & CCENT
I passed 640-801 yesterday with a score of 962! 
It's such a huge relief - I've been studying non-stop for this for such a long time now.
I used a crazy amount of resources to learn from, these including:
- Wendell Odom's INTRO and ICND books
- Sybex 5th Edition
- ****.com - I *thoroughly* recommend this website to all of you. You get what you pay for, and it certainly paid off for me.
- ElementK vLabs - all well and good, but they only provide 1900 switches, no 2950's.
- Boson NetSim - excellent piece of kit. I had previously tried RouterSim but found so many bugs it was unreal.
- Cisco CCNA Prep Center - there's plenty of useful info on there (www.cisco.com/go/prepcenter)
- www.freetests.com - quite a handy site for doing free practice tests if you don't want to pay out for ****
Good luck to everyone still studying. It's such an amazing feeling once it's done that it's worth every bit of effort. I now don't feel guilty having my feet up watching TV (instead of studying!). That's right up until I begin on my CCNP of course, but I'll give myself some time off before that!
Thanks to everyone on here too - you guys helped keep me motivated.

Congrats!!!
How did you find the ICND tests that were included in Wendell Odoms books, were the type of questions similiar in difficulty? Was the ****.com just more practice? Now working full time! -

Thanks guys
ModemHumper - The Odom book ICND Q & A's are pretty good as they stretch the mind due to being open ended and not providing the multiple choice answers. I panicked myself big time on the night before the exam as I gave a few of them a shot and struggled... that began some hard last minute cramming! In hindsight I think was just having a mental block that evening.
Sa'ad - too right I do I plan to have a month off and start on BSCI next month / beginning of June.
At the moment I'm in the process of updating my CV - it's time to move on now I've got the CCNA!
