in CCNA & CCENT
Hello Folks, its been 2 months since i have been working towards it, until TODAY, i finally achieved it. It feels really good, not to mention the $250 towards the exam, doesn't hurt a lot now.
CodeName : 640-802 : 960/1000.
First, i would like to give my HUGE thanks to Mr. Jeremy Cioara from the CBT Nuggets fraternity for the invaluable Videos, even Nuts like us, with Zero Cisco experience, could crack the material. Combined with Todd Lammle & Richard Deal's Study Guide, there was nothing more to have been needed to prepare for the Test.
My First experience with VUE, and not so bad, considering the painful registration Procedure Prometric has in my country. The Test center was neat.
THE TEST : Sims, Sims and More Sims. They Just kept coming. However, nothing out of the blue, but pretty lengthy i would say. My weakest area during the preparation was WIRELESS, which was justified in the score sheet - 67%. Rest were pretty much up to the Standards. Well, it was a nice and exciting experience during the Last 2 months & i hope to come back for CCNP some time in the future. For now, its Microsoft, which is my Bread & Butter. So, i hope to wrap up my MSCA : Sec in the next month via 70-291. Next up, its ME vs THE BEAST. One will Stand, One will Fall.

Excellent score! Big congrats on the pass and and good luck on the 291, doing this one myself and it's ok (apart from RRAS which sends me to sleep).The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they are genuine - Abraham Lincoln -

Most of the time in the 'exam'. Sims were really lenghty.

Congratulations on the pass! Good luck with those Microsoft exams. Are you planning on going back and doing more with Cisco certs (CCNP, CCIP, etc.) after you're done with the MCSE and/or MCITP paths?

I certainly found Cisco to be much More exciting than Microsoft and i would be really glad if i would be able to come back for CCNP, but due to my Job Role right now, i think i am gonna have to stick with MS for quite a while now, maybe until next year. I'll figure it out thereafter.
