Hey everyone,

I need some motivation, In process of finishing Sybex (T. Lamle) Book, 6th Edition and kinda giving up. Please help. I don't know what should I do?

I am using Cisco Packet Tracer 5.1 and it's good. Is it wise to do hands on lab after every chapter or wait and read again then do these labs.


Please appreciate your help.

    How 'bout a slight edit: Just think about the checks you'll get once you pass

    :D
    Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

    If seeking knowledge and a bigger paycheck don't motivate you..... Then I'm sure the picture Slowhand posted above will!

    Think of all of the hiring managers and resume filters that won't consider you to be a valid candidate for a sweet job...

    Thanks.... funny... but yes.... in process of self studing and things sometime fly above my head.... will read the book again and then will decide whether I am ready to go 640-802.

    Any advice for using any study material after finishing Sybex?

    Honest advice, try going for the 2 route CCNA (ICND1 and ICND2). I struggled with the single exam for months, but trust me the best thing that worked out for me was that I took them separately. CCNA covers a broad range of topics for being an associate level cert, so try to break it up so that you stay motivated. Good luck.

    and Yes, BE MOTIVATED!!!

    Just think about all the beers you'll drink to celebrate passing the exam.

    Do labs while you're reading, after you've read, and when you re-read. And sometimes just do labs with no reading.

    Wait... I think I see what I've been doing wrong...

    Ah!! That reminds me -- the one chapter, one beer rule!

    Read a chapter (and lab it up) and reward yourself with a beer. Repeat as needed.

    Don't forget the rule that when ever you see NSSA or PHP you have to take a shot.
