in CCNA & CCENT
Well I finally kicked the CCNA exam right in the nuts today with a score of 869.
I've been around this forum for some time but persistance finally paid off.

Here are some books I used to prepare for the exam.

Todd Lammle 6th ed
Richard Deal exm 640-802
Cisco Press INTRO/ICND
Exam Cram
CCNA Flash cards
CBT nuggets (640-801)


Home lab;
4X 2500 ROUTERS
2X 2950 SWITCH
1X2610 ROUTER

Visualizer 6.0 (Save yourself money and buy a real cisco routers & switches)

My biggest help came from this forum and for that I want to thank you all.
Well I wish I could celebrate tonight but I have to work but I'll be hoisting
a few this weekend for sureicon_smile.gif

peace!

    Thanks man. Cisco tchnology doesn't seem foreign to me any more so I'll probably
    stick with it just don't know which path to take yet.

    It takes about a 4-6 weeks to get the certification right?
    Where do I go to download a copy?

    kadshah,

    Sounds like a good time for you to verify your information, such as current mailing address, in the Cisco Certification Tracking System. Usually there's a longer delay if this is your very first Cisco certification. By default, you're mailed a paper certificate package unless you change it to electronic delivery, in the form of a downloadable PDF file at the Cisco Certification Tracking System website.

    I forgot to mention Chris Bryant (The ultimate CCNA study package)
    His material was very helpful. Just got home from work and now I celebrate
    by myself with a nice cold beer. Thanks again!

    quick question I followed the link https://i7lp.integral7.com/durango/do/login?ownername=cisco&channel=cisco&basechannel=integral7 Is the first certification free and
    does Cisco pay for the shipping cost? For additional certificate I would pay $15.00 is that right?
    I don't need to input my credit card info for my first certificate or do I?
    You've been hanging out here too long
    ...yes too long.

    kadshah,

    Yes, the first one is free. Yes, it is $15.00 for additional certificates after the first certificate. Since the first certificate is free, no you don't need to input your credit card info for the first certificate. I hope this helps.

    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.
