FAILED CCNA TODAY

mp3spy

Score 707
Planning and Design : 88%
Implementation and Operations : 60%
Troubleshooting: 50%
Technology : 50%

The exam was pretty much as I expected...

There were 3 sims.... I did complete the entire test within the time limit....There was one sim which was weird tho...


I dunno I'll have to think about it some more.. The other sims I know I nailed because I was able to ping all devices at the end of configuring them and i saved the config Hmmmmmm I wonder.


Need to study OSPF a little more and maybe WAN stuff.. My goal is to pass before the years out...gettin close

Suggestions much appreciated...I still think I did ok being I am doing self study and this is the first try..but hey no excuses right!?!?!

Ah.... so we write this one off as a successful recon.

It might have be less stressful to just use the exam blueprint to find out the topics on the exam.

Use your score report and the blueprint to focus in on the areas you need to study some more. If you don't let this exam bother you and study (and get some more hands-on work) you could still have a CCNA for Christmas, or at least before the end of this year.

AND troubleshooting! (and from what I have been reading from recent passes/fails... a lot of STP)

Best of luck for the very nice Christmas prezzie. (get that and you won't mind getting socks and a tie from the family)

(Hoping to be ready to schedule mine in early 2007)

I took the exam today and got a 707 as well..
Score 707
Planning and Design : 50%
Implementation and Operations : 66%
Troubleshooting: 66%
Technology : 42%

Yeah......those percentages suck...I know....

I ran out of time and didn't complete all of the questions.....

Crappy thing is.....I had taken it before about 9 months ago and got an 800 lol.

I had started studying back at the beginning of the year while I was fresh out of school and sending resumes out like crazy. I actually got a bite, and next thing I know, I'm the network administrator for a company's branch location (no experience and only A+ and Network+ certs.) Unfortunately they do not have cisco routers, and only web managed switches, so I wasn't able to get any experience I could use towards the CCNA.

This time, the test seemed a lot tougher.....of course I only gave myself a little over a week to study this time lol. Anyway, the exam simulators I was using in addition to studying didn't seem like they were very accurate compared to the real exam. Can anyone offer any suggestions to an exam simulator (with labs) that is the most accurate representation of the actual exam? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
