I felt very confident. Been studying since May every single day. Labbing non-stop. The exam didn't seem hard, but I know I need to really dig deep into PPP/CHAP Auth.
The labs seemed pretty easy, I thought. But then again, I must have been wrong because my score reflects it. I'm wondering if it is worth taking the composite instead of the ICND2 - at least half of the questions will be ICND1 related and other half ICND2? (thinking via text)
Study Material:
ICND2 Book Todd Lammle
Packet Tracer Labs
Packet Tracer UDEMY Lab course.
SkillPort 200-105.
Practice Exams on Skillport
Complaints/Rants:
Todd Lammle's book doesn't put much emphasis on much of anything. He just goes over everything and it's up to you to figure out what you need to concentrate on. You would think the Exam Essentials would be a good place to start, but this is not the case. Obviously I am not stating there should be answers in your face.
Labs have emphasis on configuring and implementation. This is pointless. CCNA is troubleshooting inconsistencies with the not so obvious. I can spin up an OSPF, EIGRP, eBGP topology in a few minutes (CCNA Level) but it doesn't do any good when troubleshooting GRE tunnels, PPP etc.
There are a couple of really really dumb questions. Almost warranting a comment. Nuff said.
I'm salty because I failed. Don't beat me up too much.
I am going to get back to the drawing board.
