Not exactly the best score I've ever gotten, but like the old saying goes, "a pass is a pass".
Here is how I did:
So yeah...
I do wonder if anyone has ever passed an exam while getting a 0% on a topic. A part of me think it's quite funny. The other part wonders how the /d\(uck\)/ /f\1/ I got a 0%...
Here is the topic breakdown according to Cisco on the aforementioned topic:
What a shot in the nuts to a fellows pride... My troubleshooting skills aren't the best in the world but damn! Not sure how many questions fell into this topic, either, but I don't think it was that many. Not making excuses, but trying to rationalize in a way that doesn't make me want to take one of my wife's frying pans and gong myself over the head.
To be perfectly honest, I was not completely ready for this exam...
I attained the CCNA Security 2/29/2009 and started a new job a few days later, in which I am in a much larger network and finally getting into VoIP in a living, breathing environment that makes my old employer's network look like two tins cans connected with a piece of string.
Long story short, I rushed a bit. lol! I kind of have been side-studying the CVOICE material to try to learn VoIP on a deeper level while also trying to learn their environment and how they are implementing VoIP.
Not having access to CUE and the UC500 definitely nipped me in the nutsack. Having access to those pieces of equipment would have definitely helped me (duh!).
I used the following material:
CCNA Voice Official Exam Cerification Guide
Authorized Self-Study Guide Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE), Third Edition
ExamCram CCNA Voice
CCNA Voice CBTNuggets
CVOICE CBTNuggets
GNS3
Cisco Documentation
Like I said earlier, I went above and beyond on a lot of topics but overkill is definitely better than the underkill.
Still...
A 0%...
W...T...F
Anyways...
I am off to attempt the CCVP. I have much to learn in the Land of VoIP, but am determined to prevail. I am doing the exams in the following order in case anyone is absolutely dying to know:
CVOICE
CIPT1
CIPT2
QOS
TUC
Work scheduled me for a week long class in mid-June on the CIPT1 material so I am hoping to make sweet, old fashioned love to CVOICE before that so I can have focus on the exam at that time. We shall see...
Wish me luck and good luck to all of you!
Here is how I did:
[b] * Describe and configure Cisco Unified Communications Architecture 87% to support VoIP * Describe PSTN components and technologies 85% * Describe VoIP components and technologies 100% * Describe and configure gateways, voice ports, and dial peers 64% to connect to the PSTN and service provider networks * Implement UC500 using Cisco Configuration Assistant 75% * Implement Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to 100% support endpoints using CLI * Perform basic maintenance and operations tasks to support 0% the VoIP solution[/b]
So yeah...

Congrats!
And don't worry about the zero percent thing. It might have just been one or two questions. Or maybe zero questions on troubleshooting - hey zero out of zero does add up to 0%

Just FYI, I got a 0% on one of the sections in my ICND1 and still passed. 806/1000 with an 804 required to pass!

An 806 is a pass? Wow.
Anyhow, congrats on your CCENT - the score isn't listed on the cert so you're good to go -
