Passed CCNA.

Finally after my third try I passed the CCNA.

The first time I took the CCNA was in January and scored a 683, took it a second time at the end of April and scored an 801, and finally took it again Monday and passed with an 894.

On my first two tries, I really messed up the simulators I got, however on this third try I completed the ones I got, and they looked fine to me, I'm pretty sure I got them right this time.

What I used to pass the CCNA was, a CCNA bootcamp that I attended through Boson, my Boson Exsim questions, Boson Netsim simulators, and Cisco Press CCNA books.

I attended the bootcamp for a few reasons, one was to obviously help me obtain my CCNA. However the main reason I attended the bootcamp was because I felt that the associates degree in computer networking that I had earned in college came too easily. The college told me that they would teach me so many things, but failed to deliver on most everything, so I feel that I didn't have to work hard enough to earn my degree. The bootcamp was to help try and fill in gaps in my education.

After taking my first test for CCNA, I've realized I probably should have started with another certification first because of how grueling an entry level certification this was, but I was determined that it was best to continue until I got it since I had already started it.

I've decided that my next certification that I go for will be the Security+, followed by the MCSA/MSCE. It will be a while before I go for my CCNP, but I do plan to do it, and I will be getting some equipment to practice my CCNA knowledge on in the meantime and also have in preparation for CCNP studies.
