in CCNA & CCENT
Absolutely gutted!
Thought the exam went quite well for my first attempt. Not quite good enough yet though. Don't have the hands on experience at work yet but went through the Academy and have used the Packet Tracer software a fair bit.
Anyway, I came home yesterday and scheduled it again for next week. Took a break last night, but back to all out studying tonight.
Still feel gutted today, but next time...it's mine!

From the Cisco blue print tourble shooting consists of
Troubleshooting Utilize the OSI model as a guide for systematic network troubleshooting Perform LAN and VLAN troubleshooting Troubleshoot routing protocols Troubleshoot IP addressing and host configuration Troubleshoot a device as part of a working network Troubleshoot an access list Perform simple WAN troubleshooting
Its a pretty large area and could include many topics. I'd suggest you work on the show comands and understanding their output.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

The best advice I can give is the following
Figure out which is right and which is wrong.. but here is the catch
The reasons why they are wrong.. WHY is it wrong,
The reasons why they are right.. WHY is it right
That will help you in the troubleshooting section.. as for the technology.. know your WAN stuff in an out from HDLC to Frame-Relay and even ISDN
It doesn't hurt to know a little bit about some CCNP level stuff on the WAN stuff either such as a bit on BGP.. etc (though its not really required)CCIE - COMPLETED! -

Definitely work on your "hands-on" skills.

And here's a thread about "show commands" and a couple of suggestions for books.
