How Hard is the CCNA One Exam Approach?

in CCNA & CCENT
200-125 CCNA vs 200-105 ICND1 and (ICND1) 200-10 ICND2
Has Anyone Taken the One Exam CCNA approach?
If so how hard is the exam? Would you recommedn it for someone that is new to networking?
My networking cert background:
I passed the network+ around 2009-2010, so my understanding of the OSI model and subnetting is a little rusty.
I have some CISCO training that by might be coming. An organization that I'm working with might pay for the training. The training includes labs, videos, practice exams, and vouchers. The vendor providing the training suggested doing the one exam path instead of the two. The only reason the vendor suggested doing the one exam path, because the CCANX is a live class(boot camp style) that is being filmed. I will have access to the class for 6 months. On the other hand, The CCNA two course option is a self paced and there are several modules that you can go through. Both options allow me to access the material for 6 months. The only question is what is the right training for me?

Do not use a ****! Identify your weak areas and then rectify the issue. After you create a Boson account, all of the ex-sims are $99. The best method is to read foundation I formation (OCG or any source with excellent REAL feedback), followed by configuration labbing and then finally test your knowledge with Boson or similar test engine. Do expect the test engines to look exactly like the exam questions.
Example. If you know how to configure a nat pool then troubleshooting will be easy. All you have to do is ensure that the inside/outside interfaces are configured correctly, the acl is correct, and the command that associates the acl with nat is correct. This info is from freely available study material.
Most people who use **** usually forget the information after taking an exam. With properly study the information will stick in your bhu (brain housing unit) and be available when needed.
Think it "Field of Dreams" level of studying. Build a solid foundation and the knowledge will come.
