I will be taking one at the end of Sept.
If I fail then I will be taking it again late OCT.

Bill Kaster

I'll be taking it sometime about a month from now. I've been studying for a month straight.

*raises hand*

I actually only have ICND left, which I failed back in January and never got around to trying again. I am going to schedule it for around late October, so that in case I fail again I still can have a "third time's a charm" try.

mobri09

I have to take the ICND part. After getting some valuable advice from a few techexam friends ...I plan to take the ICND first, if i fail I will then take the 640-801. And if I fail that I plan on taking whatever one I did better on. Remember you must wait I think 6 days before retaking...but if you take a different exam you can schedule the next day. Good luck fellas!

I took it last week and got a score of 643. Im not bummed out, just a little more determined. Im going to give it another shot on 9/20. Good luck guys.

Me, hope to take in time the 801. :P

Looks like we have a crew going after this exam! This should be fun!

Sulblk27

*raises hand* I'm trying for 9/6 (depending on how well I feel/do on the practice exams) or 9/12 -- if I miss, going for the second of October...

NeonNoodle

I feel ready, so maybe I should take it soon.

Anyway, good luck to everyone.

elvant

wow! Looks like many people riding the last train. Hope than the test center not full on these days.

My first try on 6 OCT, and schedule again 3rd Nov if needed. If ... again, then get a new material and hit again before christmas. Wish me luck.

Passed INTRO last week...I'm hoping to be CCNA before the end of the month (September)

Cheers~

m0rpheus

I passed Intro a month ago. Depending on school/work I'll try to get certified before the deadline.

5 DAYS UNTIL YOU CAN TAKE IT AGAIN!!!!!!

r_durant

I'm aiming for the first or second week of October, so that I'll have plenty of time to retake if necessary....I'm doing the -801.

boyles23

I am throwing my hat into the ring, as I plan on taking it in October and it will be my first attempt!

totts

Passed the Intro 4 weeks ago and only really just settling back into the work again after a couple of setbacks. Hopefully will take the ICND in about 5 weeks time. Its taking me a bit of time so trying to remain calm.

Good post by the way, gives you an idea of where people are at and where to pitch yourself.

Knives Out

Me! I took Intro in June and after some time off from work and studying, I am now getting ready for 640-811.

I figure if I fail I will take 640-801 but not entirely sure yet. I plan to shoot for early October.

petedude

I've bombed both ICND and 801 a few times.

Passed the current INTRO though-- Will probably go "retake" the new INTRO soon so I can get a CCENT out of it, but I doubt I will get back on the 801 before time's up.

We'll see what happens.

gabrielbtoledo

Count me in guys. I finish all 4 semesters of Cisco CCNA on May 2006. It's about time to take that beast outta the way. Probably end of September or beginning of October.

baldychoko

Count me in aswell i am booking my ICND exam for late september, the cramming begins!

Darthn3ss

hoping do it as well.. i have a lot of stuff i need to go back and touch on, speciall subnetting, and i have to go through and finish the last half of ICND.. but thats only like 6 chapters in a book so i imaigne its not that bad.

ignign0kt

Is there any reason to wait for the new exam and learn the added material :P
I mean.. If I take the 801 I might feel like I should have waited and because I'm missing out on some important material that I should have learned.
Oh well.. I scheduled my 801 for Oct 3 :P

WingedTek

I'm waiting to start studying the new material when it comes out an probably take it in December or January. Whats new on the test and should I worrie more about it than now? :

Oh and one more thing, when will the new study material be out?

Yes, it was 640-801.

datchcha

Shooting for Oct. for CCNA, Then onto CCNP.

borumas

I hope to pass it before the deadline, failed ICND twice now and I'm gearing up to just attempt the 801 exam as it seems from the descriptions to be a bit easier. I had been studying allot of Intro material in prep for ICND as well since they do pull some questions from that stuff for the test so I may as well attempt the full exam. After CCNA I may attempt the Cisco IOS Security Specialists and then I'd like to take the LPIC Junior Admin 101/102.

Yossarian

I will be trying before the deadline as well. I just passed the 70-291 on Friday to complete the MCSA. I will probably just put the 801 off until the last minute. I have never failed a certification exam, but I also have never taken a Cisco exam.

I have been following these forums for a while now and have picked up a lot from just reading the questions and replies. I also work with a lot of Cisco gear.

Good luck to everyone!
