kenny831

Hey guys,

After failing 640-801 twice and 640-802 twice, I finally passed 640-802! Make sure you know nat. Nat is where its at! I had a score of 828.

This is the break down:

Describe ho a network works 57%
Configure, verify and troubleshoot a switch+VLANS 66%
Implement an IP addressing scheme+ ip services... 75%
Configure, verify and toubleshoot basice router operation and Cisco devices 78%
Expain and select the appropriat administrative tasks for WLAN 67%
Identify security threats... 100%
Implement, verify and troubeshoot NAT and ACL 100%
Implement and verify WAN links 66%

Thanks to all on this site. I've been lurking here for about a year now and learning a lot from all the posts.



Next up Sec+, then MSCE.

WOW. Congrats. I am surprised to see such a weird breakdown. It sure seems like you fail...it is the lowest breakfdown i have seen that passed the exam Did you get a lot of NAT questions?

I have heard from more than one person that you can actually do very bad in the question but if you ace the sims you ca get a nice score, while if you do great on te questions and fail the sims you fail the exam.

NEL,

I hit the books for about 6 months. I used Chris Bryant's material, Exam Cram, Lamele's 801, the pocket guide to CCNA commands, a home lab(22501's, 1 2610, 1 1924 ). 3 CCNA courses at local college.

Advice:
Study with real equipment, Practice the 3 NAT types on your equipment 3 or so times a day on your equipment or in packet tracker.


Alex,

I did very well on the sims. I don't know if Im allowed to say what I had on the sims or how many NAT questions I had. To be safe I will say Im glad I made NAT a top priority.

Strange thing is, the areas that I have low scores on this test, last week I had 85, 75, and 100, but the sims killed me.

I hope this helps.

Congrats on the pass... persistence is a value you possess! Again Congrats!!

How was the Chris Bryant material? I'm leaning towards ordering it and I would like to hear from someone who's used the product recently. Also, how about the Exam Cram? I've heard some negative things about the book from co-workers and after reading the reviews on Amazon (albeit only two reviews of the book).

Thanks Peanut Head,

Chris Bryant's material is really good. Order it, you wont regret it. I thought Exam cram was good for a quick review right before taking your exam, after going over Chris Bryant and Lamele's book two times each.

I hope I didn't sound like the only thing you should study is NAT. NAT is important, but you should be very familiar with all of the objectives.

Congrats ciprian!
