Hi guys, taken the test today and passed with a 857!
I studied just me, not in a school, very hard for some day and very low for all others. About 2 months and no previous experience on domain administration.
Used MS press book, Sybex and Singress books with their CDs.
A curios anecdote, clicked the Next button of the last question when they lacked about 2 minutes, because I reviewd many questions more and more (also because english is not my motherlanguage and some question I needed to re-read more than two times, at all over the 30th question). :P
Despite its reputation, let me tell that found exam NOT easy.
Subjects are pretty abstract and You have to remember a
very big lot of details (also graphical), not the maximum for me that I think to be a humanist borrowed to the IT.
I think that is the really difficulty of this exam, not complexity of the concepts, except for a few(found more harder in CCNA).
However I am so happy, like I got the CCNA!
I must thanks this fantastic community for its push to pass this exam, without You I think I'll be died on the books (not joking). Thank You!
