in CCNA & CCENT
Hi all,
I just failed the CCENT. I got 813/1000, needed 832. Actually I thought I did quite well, and had confidence in my answers on even the larger problems, AND I finished quite fast, maybe 15 minutes left.
However, there were maybe 6 questions which I had no clue about. Before the text, the instructions warned that some questions were 'not graded' and were 'trial questions for future tests.' I could only assume these were the case while working- but obviously not.
Questions about port channels, 6to4 tunneling, HSRP, IBGP...
I primarily used the official Cisco book, simulator, and testing software. I am frustrated that these topics were not covered in the OFFICIAL materials, and I paid about $200 USD to take the test and I didn't even know I had to study for this stuff.
Any recommendations on where to pick up info on these "extras" which were conveniently left out of the book?

Hi Severance,
We can't discuss the actual contents of the exam, but you are not alone in your frustration. Everything you mentioned is good stuff to know. You were so close! I always keep the latest exam topics from the Cisco website handy. -

Thanks for replying.
I'm not looking for the actual contents of the exam, but as far as I can tell those items are not in the exam topics. I was hoping for some advice about other study materials which contain other things I'd need to know. I could dive straight into CCNA stuff but I'm not sure that would help me any for CCENT.
