Passed the CCNA.

Glad that I did not wait until I "felt" ready. I covered the blueprint and took the exam.
Can't say how long it took because I started 4 years ago and got sidetracked by life, medical issues and other certs.
I used Pluralsight vids and the OCG to fill in gaps, and labbing of course.
I saw a lot of what I didn't think would get emphazied, and very little of what I thought I would need to be hyper focused on....I guess you never know until you are sitting for the exam.
Next is CCDA and CCNA Security
