MY GOD I PASSED.............

zero-g-smith

I feel kinda goofy tho for failing twice. first test was 809, then 847 and finally I got a 910.

Not great but hey I passed. For the love of God I passed.

Now Im going to do the A+ before the end of the year. I hope it is not as hard or stress inducing.



Actually I passed yesterday but was just to busy partying to post.

Congrats on the pass. A+ shouldn't be as pressing, but it is two tests, so don't underestimate it.

yea the people on the forums here seem to say its fairly easy but also say that the current crop of books dont seem to cover whats entirely on the test.

I bought that big ass brown book. Gonna take a week break then start plugging away 2.5 a day

That's pretty great, even the first two aren't bad, just weren't enough for a pass. With the high score required to pass the CCNA any pass is great

Congrats!

great job..a pass is a pass..

My story:

I was in he Air Force way back when. I met a cool guy named Culley.
He Aced every exam and every lab, people thought he had a photographic memory and was a rocket scientist...I was not far behind him. I was
getting like 95.8 overall in the course. he was getting 98.9 (okay so he didnt ace every test but you get the message) on the last exam people knew it was he or I to get the Ace in the hole on the last exam ( I was taking Aerospace Mechanics). The intructor walk over to me and then to Culley and then back to me and said Van Dyke in a stern voice, stand up! I said yes sir.
He grabbed my hand and raised it high with the 105 % percent (i did the extra problems) and blew the exam away! Culley with a sad grin got 98.0 percent! yeah baby! yeah!

then 2 years later, He and I got stationed at the same base.
Come to find out he was working in Supply handing out supplies and parts to us guys who coudl do the work of troubleshooting issuesa nd fixing things. He wasnt able to fix anything his instructor said. In fact his last base I heard that he was still working on his 3 level. when i was finsihing my 5 level on the handson!

Some are test takers some are both and some are hands on!
I like to be middle of the road for both. both are necessary!


But I said all that to say Freaking Great job man!
