The question on how long one should study has been asked many times and the same answer applies all the time--However long it takes you as an individual to feel comfortable enough to pass. Everyone is different. I guess the rule of thumb would be to study until you're comfortable and then test youself with practise tests. If you score 90% or better without having to take the same test over and over again, you're probably ready to give it a go.

There's no right amount of time to take a test. Just go at your own pace and when you feel you're doing well enough on practice tests, jump in and kick its butt

So true.

Fail it once, and you'll probably come out like a Samurai for the next one.

Do your best to study the info until you know it cold.

From your profile, you are no stranger to cert exams.
Perhaps you are comfortable with the CompTIA way.
Well, you can also become comfortable with Cisco's
way (among others).


All I can say is keep tackling your objectives

yea guys i think cisco is a lil bit harder than comptia tests, the first time i took the intro i fail for 25 points i made 800, cuz for the comptia i usually study for like a month so i figure nha i probably same stuff but hell no i got scar with the first sim from there i lost my step and i didnt get to do all the questions, i when over some stuff then i went back and took and made 925 after 2 weeks but i dont know if the icnd is way harder than that i really dont know wut to expect
it cover alot of stuff, but oh well go to focus, if ya have any other advices ill really apreciated

thanks to all

sorry if my wording isnt the right one (me ingles not that bueno)

The ICND is significantly harder than the INTRO from my and others' experience. Take your time and make sure you're learning the material

What's your background man? I mean, if you work with Cisco equipment everyday, you are going to need to study a lot more than say, me. Who has never worked with this stuff before.

I my original plan was 6 months, but now I've bumped it to 7 months, as I have found some of the STP and routing projects to be more time consuming than I thought. I knocked Intro out inside of oh, I want to say 4 months? But I was lazy, and way over studied.

But then again, I am doing every last project and command. (fun stuff actually!)
