in CCNA & CCENT
After browsing through so many post where brothers have been talking about what score they achieved in their CCNA examination.
I thought, that I might just as well share my experience of how I manged to pass this examination.
In my first attempt I scored 834/1000. Since this was my first Certification exam and since I failed by a narrow margin, i never felt hard about it.
And I knew for sure that i would definetly pass during my second attempt, maybe this placed me in an overconfidence mood.
Unfortunately, I failed my second CCNA exam with a 847/1000 score.
That really pissed me absolutely hard. But I was really determined. So strong was my determination, that i was reading over my CCNA book sooner I came back home after coming back from the exam.
I was now, in a total revenge mood. I wanted to score the highest possible I could now for my third attempt. For a while i thought that i would never be able to pass the examination after my second failure.
But it was determination and support from family.
After 3 weeks i made my 3rd attempt, and this time I passed with a 961/1000 score by the grace of Allah.
After that, i appeared for the BSCI (642-801) examination and passed that too in my first attempt with a 978 score !!!
My second CCNA failure (847) will always remain deep and as a scar. But it was this failure which gave me the motivation to be perfect.
My narrow failure by 2 marks was what made me appreciate, that i should always aim for a perfect score rather than a passing marks score. No doubt this has paid off.

Congrats! You never gave up, and that's important. Most people get discourage not passing any exams the second time around. Enjoy the sweet accomplishment I still have 2 more classes to go through before I can take my CCNA exam.

Dude, you said it. I have pushed back my CCNA so many times after doing some more practice labs and questions, and being brutally honest with myself, that I was not at the level I should be to take the exam. Hopefully, I am nearing that level now, but it is funny that the more you figure out, the more questions and the more holes in your knowledge you discover.
