Just got back from the test center. My score was 868. I completely skipped a simulation question - after about 12 minutes of trying to figure out what it was I was meant to do, I kinda gave up on it, noting that I had 20 minutes left for 24 questions.
I feel kinda bad, I should have known what it was I was meant to do, love to go into details.... but NDA prevents that...

Used CISCO Press ICND as my main study guide, supplemented with Sybex and LearnKey CBT. Practice question were Transcender (Priceless, apart from the simulation question, the exam felt just like a practice set from Transcender) and also questions from the ICND CISCO Press book's CD.
Took about 3 and a half months of studying for this one.
Next up is MCSA, after a few days of relaxing, can't express how good it feels to have succeeded in getting my CCNA!
Good luck to all studying!
James.
