in CCNA & CCENT
Phew that got me all worked up, I thought the time was plenty until I got to a nasty question in the middle. After that one I looked at the time, and only had around half an hour left to complete the rest of the questions. Did not know where the time went. Started to panic and thought I better not spend too much time on questions second guessing myself. This of course made it worse for myself.
Then rushed questions thinking I was gonna run out of time and fail.
At the end I was convinced I had failed miserably. But to my total astonishment got 966!
My advice to anyone taking the intro exam is this, don't worry if you look at the question number your on and the time left seems short. Because overall they balance out and the time given is fair. You may find at the beginning some tough questions requiring alot of time but later on shorter quicker ones.
Hope that helps.
Roger.

Cheers everyone!
Is ICND harder to learn? Or is it not so diverse as Intro?
Does it take longer? Did intro in 3 weeks with Sybex book. -

Some is familiar to me as I'm in IT, it helped.
I also have a few 1600 Routers to mess with. Don't mess with sims, no real feel of IOS IMHO.
I did buy the Transender Test and did that over and over.
I also started out with Learnkeys Cisco CBT but dumped it as it was not current. (My version).
Found Todd's Sybex book to be the best as the detail is great and so are the written exams and multiple choice question at the end of each chapter. -

Google - animated avatar - first hit I think. You could always copy it from here. But this BB limits to 11k so you have to host it elsewhere! -

Sounds good...I'm in IT as well, have worked with and currently work with Cisco devices, but I'm aiming for the one exam.
Hmmmm...I have the Learnkey CBT's as well, haven't gone through them all, but I'll definitely consider what you said about them being outdated...
I also have Todd's book and the Ciscopress books...I plan to give it 3 months and then take a try at the exam....currently trying to get my lab setup...

Def. a bonus!Hmmmm...I have the Learnkey CBT's as well, haven't gone through them all, but I'll definitely consider what you said about them being outdated...
For me with a book its easier to take in, you can stop and re-read far easier! With the CBT the goatee geezer in the videos is rushing through the info and its hard to take in. IMO.I also have Todd's book and the Ciscopress books...I plan to give it 3 months and then take a try at the exam....currently trying to get my lab setup...
Good luck!Thanks for the input...
