How do I correct bad habits?

THA_DOC

Hello Roguetadhg,
I would like to ask your opinion of how to pass the ICND-1. I took the exam back in May 14th 2017 and scored 813 out of 832(Passing score). I guees I may have missed 1 or 2 question. My breakdown of objectives section is as follows:

Network Fundamentals..................................................75%
LAN Switching Fundamentals...........................................81%
Routing Fundamentals....................................................80%
Infrastructure Services...................................................67%
Infrastructure Maintenance.............................................50%

I took two break to clear my head and then back study. I study the objectives that in wihich I was weak in Infrastructure Services and Infrastructure Maintenance.

I retook the Exam and again on July 23 and also failed it again, but with a lower score 766. My breakdown of objectives section is as follows:

Network Fundamentals..................................................83%
LAN Switching Fundamentals..........................................63%
Routing Fundamentals...................................................87%
Infrastructure Services..................................................56%
Infrastructure Maintenance............................................25%
.
Now I studying the complete ICND-1 syllable , but wonder what I am doing wrong?

if you take practice tests with boson. if you use study mode and click show answer after each questions they tell you why you missed a question and they show what the answer should have been. also they show you what category the question was.

Thanks,
I have Boson NetSims 8.0 ,the newer version are costly, I have used them and. I get hooked their answers even after researching the differences in the correct the answer. but use them again. That may be the option I chose.

Moderator can get your input.
