The "I've booked my exam thread"

Whoohoo, Thursday 20th September. Figured that'd give me a day to sulk and a weekend to revise for a second attempt the next week.

Have to say, after doing some practice questions yesterday I'm now more than a little worried about the exam.

    Good luck! Don't worry if you prepared well you will do fine. Try not to be nervous!

    Good luck!
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    thanks - quite looking forward to it. no doubt i'll be asking loads of questions over the next four weeks.

    That's why I'm worried - poor preparation! Still, 1 month to rectify that.

    Good luck to both you guys!
    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    Good Luck to both of you! icon_thumright.gif

    Not to put anymore pressure on you guys, but I'm expecting a couple of new "Passed!!!" threads to help inspire some of the new guys! :D

    i just rebooked mine for this coming monday, i failed my first attempt a week and a half ago. I've read the cisco press books and the CCNA Exam Cram since then, and I've gotten my home lab up and working, although I need some 2950s. I have boson netsim so that helps.

    Good luck everyone!!

    If it's this busy a month out from the 640-801 exam deadline, I've got to wonder how crazy it will get the closer we get to November 6th. icon_lol.gif

    Good Luck Everyone! icon_thumright.gif

    haha, not feeling too strung out now. just relaxed all weekend and watched the rugby instead of revising like a loon. resigned to my fate now. still, if i don't pass then i'll have another crack at in 2-3 weeks. bit annoyed really, in fact very annoyed - wanted to go in and completely destroy the exam. but not had enough time to study. so the best i can hope for is scraping a pass. at least i can fill in the gaps with CCNP study. i think i've got a much better idea of how to go about learning and studying cisco stuff now. it's been quite a learning experience in that respect.

    I signed up for the 19th. I am sure it will get pretty hectic as the deadline gets closer

    good luck. yes i think it'll get busier. but test centres must be ready for a rush i'm sure. the test centre isn't doing Cisco tests anymore. so if i have to retake it i'll need to travel further afield. bit of a pain really. especially if i'm trying to do it without taking a day off.

    good think is they offer CCNA 9-5 5 days a week.

    Well, it wasn't pretty and the questions showed there is some gaping holes in my knowledge, but i passed! icon_lol.gif certainly not the convincing nailing of the exam i wanted when i initially started studying in January.

    Unbelievable - don't want Johan to get too excited with the censor button - but i thought i'd ruined my chances right from the start. By the end i had my head in my hands just taping through the last few questions absolutely convinced i'd failed. Then was reading through the small print at the end thinking the "next" button would take me to my score but as i read upwards (dyslexic see, i start at the bottom of the page!) i saw "congratulations" and in small letters underneath "you've passed".

    huzzar!

    will fill in those knowledge gaps with a bit more study .... sometime!

    thanks for the help from the site. nice to have a bit of CCNA companionship.

    good luck to all those trying to beat the nov 6th deadline.
