in CCNA & CCENT
Passing score: 849

My score: 847

I'd get rip-roaring drunk tonight...but I don't drink.

Hoping the third time will be the charm whenever I decide to take it again.

    Ouch that really hurts! Try not to let it get you down. Just keep reviewing including the stuff you are strong at and give it another go.

    You will get it next time. icon_wink.gif
    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.

    icon_eek.gif Ouch! That really hurts man, you were so close...

    Like ITdude said, try not to let it get you down too much and use this as fuel to blow it away the next time around. You can do it! :)

    Think of it this way - you know you're going to pass someday soon. It'll just cost you a little extra.

    Or think of it another way - is there any point to getting too down on yourself? Exactly. :)

    Damn, that's rough.

    I guess it's not like college where they'd round up a few points if you needed it.

    Not sure any respectable college would "round up a few points" so that one could pass an exam or receive a diploma.

    As for the failed attempt, I'm concerned about getting a similar score. I always feel that Murphy's Law is being applied when I take a practice exam. Well, just review heavily on the areas where you had the most trouble. And good luck next time!

    I feel for you, man. That's a popular score to get, (see my signature). Don't worry, though, with a little more reading and practice, you'll knock it out of the park.

    December will be too late for 801. Don't forget about November 6th, last day.
