ok so it took me two attempts....
i sat the 802 exam last week and failed miserably...

BUT i kinda new I would.... I havent sat any kind of exam in 10years!! and given I'm dire at exams I knew it was gonna be tough on me.....
I spent 45 mins on two sims!!! so basically ran out of time.... and still didnt get one of them right!!! I scored in low 700's.....
failed miseraby on NAT\ACL's
anyways rebooked thanks to the resit offer a week later and scored just short of 900...
PLEASED im chuffed to bits...... wooooohoooooooooooooo
now I know I've not posted on here much but the resources and advice given by those that do has always been spot on.... cheers guys n gals a BIG thank you to you all
my resources.... ok i work in the field so that helps.....
ive got the offical network accadamy books.... go a little too much in depth at times but ensure you know your stuff inside out.....
ive got the 802 todd lammel book to cover the bits 802 introduced... and a change of scene from the cisco stuf...
ccna for dummies... a good read for journey's and to jog the memory.....
and then attended a 6 day course to drive the subjects home on the main areas... (damn good course as a network engineer anways if you want details pm me...)
what next.... hmmm a month break then looking at CVVP v CCSP v CEH (certified ethical hacking) the choice comes down to whos paying me or the boss lol
