Passed 640-801

I went down to the wire my friends!! This forum is great and has helped me to get my mind right. I had 7 minutes left and came across my 3rd sim! They say, do not take more then 10 minutes per sim and I said "I aint got 10 minutes!!"

I saw it was one on RIP that some local yocal tried to set up but did not finish so I easily completed it in 2 minutes! I had 2 minutes left when i hit "END" and got a score of 885, although I am not very proud of it, pass is pass! Now I can move on to CCNP!

Good job! now take a short break as it's well deserved.

what did you use to prepare? Home lab? simulator?

Congrats man!

I consider 885 quite respectable. It certainly is for MS tests, and Cisco tests are harder AND have a higher pass cutoff.

I think even 800 is a respectable score, even if it isn't a pass. OK, I am biased here, since that was my score on my first attempt. :P

I read the Todd Lamle book once, and watched the Train Signal Lab by Chris Bryant twice. I have the boson Netsim for CCNP which I played with, but I have been working with routers for a while and actually had the CCNA when it first came out, but I let it expire. I am striving for CCIE now.

I am going for Routing and Switching, will also go for security after that. It feels great, but I know there is a long road ahead and started studying for CCNP right away

At least take a nap before you start on the CCNP
