So...I'm back.

Haven't been around for about 2 months now. Some really bad things happened in my life and I had to drop everything. I'm upset about it too because I had just finished putting my lab together and was on the final preparation stages in regards to studying for my NA. Things have gotten back in order over the past week and I think I'm ready to get back on track in regards to studying.

In any case the reason for my post is to find out wether or not the NA changed. I remember is was going through an overhaul in June I think? Is my core study guide (Lammle 5th) now outdated from the change? Or can I just pick back up where I left off a couple months ago?

Thanks for the help. It's good to be back. Being on these boards really motivated me before and I hope they can get my spirits up again.

Glad things are getting back on track for you, studying your book should be ok as long as you plan to tackle the test before November, as that is when the current test will expire.

They pushed it back AGAIN?

Well that's the first bit of good news I've heard in a long time.

I just checked my PC to see if I still had my 57 pages of notes that I typed out to shorten the 5th edition book. Some of you might remember this thing from the study tips thread. All the copies I had on my PC only had 7 of the 11 chapters saved. I was pissed but luckily found hard copy I printed out to read in bed. Gotta be extra careful with this thing now cause it's the only full copy. My holy grail. Must keep away from the dog.

I hope things are going better for you than they were. You've still got plenty of time to do the 640-801 CCNA exam, since that's set to expire on the November deadline. I think the confusion came from the 640-861 CCDA exam, which expired Friday the 13th, and got replaced with 640-863. I'm sure you can get the CCNA knocked out sooner than later, and we'll be seeing your posts move from the CCNA forum to the CCNP in no time. Good to have you back, buddy.
