Ccent Passed ! Glory To God - I got an Early Christmas Present

I was a nervous reck for the last 3 days. I did a review study plan for the last 3 days where I would just watch CBT nugget videos with Jeremy on topics that I did poorly on during the Boson practice test. Then I also Studied the explanations for the wrong questions then followed that up by labbing certain show commands I wasn't sure about.

For the Exam I Got an 896/832 was super surprised because some of those questions came out of left field. Study methods were Cbt nuggets, packet tracer, Odom's icnd1 book and I also have work experience as the back up to the network engineer from my previous job.

I am off from work after today until January so I will use the time to play some Nba Live 19 and start watching Jeremy Cioara for icnd2 over the break. Also is packet tracer sufficient for ICND2 or should I consider lab equipment for this portion of the exam?

Congratulations!! ... Good work

I think most will say Packet Tracer is sufficient for ICND2 (?), but I feel like I will probably need more hands on for it, myself.

Congrats on your pass. I am currently studying for ICND1, and I'm using Odum's ICND1 book, CBT Nuggets, Netsim, and I have a physical lab. I like the Netsim for the ease of switching between devices, but I like my physical lab for the real-world configurations. Packet Tracer should be fine, but I like having the physical lab as well.

Good luck on your ICND2 studying

I don't have a test date yet, I'm still early into it. I'm hoping within 2 months, but I'm also taking college courses and work is really busy, so we'll see.
