in CCNA & CCENT
Well I sat for the 801 today at 12:30, and failed with an 847...

Here is the breakdown:

planning and designing 83
implementation and operation 91
troubleshooting 67
technology 72

about the test i didn't really get very many questions on WAN and ACL's, mostly was all switching so I know where I need to put my focus now.

I might of passed if I would of managed my time at the beginning better.. I got few sims and simlets right of the bat and when I got to the last 10 questions I only 5 minutes left so I was pressed for time and I know I missed 2 of them because i didn't think them through.

I am going to reschedule for Monday and work on my switching.

    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!

    Don't feel bad, 847's a popular number to hit on the exam. . . icon_sad.gif
    Study up, review the areas you were weak on, then go back and knock it out of the park.

    If you don't let this attempt freak you out, you should do fine next time.

    Now that you've seen the exam, compare your score breakdown to the topics in the exam blueprint and make sure to get up to speed on any weak areas.

    Check out these links for troubleshooting suggestions....

    You situation was similar to mine except that I got a way lower score than yours during my first attempt. You can check out the link below for what I did in preparing my second attempt and hope that helps!
