ICDN 1 Today

Jdruin

I took the ICDN 1 today, and I have to say that Cisco tests scare the crap out of me. The first simulation came up (1st Question), and I froze. I am not sure why, but I am much more comfortable on my rack at home than the Sims. The cisco tests I found to be more more difficult over all than Microsoft.

Oh, I passed with a 960. Never thought I would have pulled that out. Only had 5 minutes left in the test. I cut it very close.

Study materials. Wendal Odom, Train Signal, Chris Bryant Ebook, CCENT McGraw Hill. I have 5 various 2500 series routers with a 2950 and a 2924 XL in my home lab.

Study time, 2 hours a day for 3 weeks.

It would be nice if they let you warm up with a few "easy" multiple choice questions before they smacked you down

Congratulations!

And with that score you should take the rest of the week off to celebrate! (or at least get to drag into work late tomorrow or the day after )

That was the same experience I had, the first 10 question/sims took me 30 minutes. I thought I would never make it but ended with about 5 minutes to spare. I was a nervous wreck by the end of it. Congrats!!

+1 Mike always has the best ideas, especially on a Friday!

Congrats on the pass!

P.S. I think it's ICND not ICDN!
Wow that sim question must have really got to you!

Same thing with me... I gave the exam yesterday.. the first question was SIM... and I got scared..

But somehow, since I was pretty quick finishing rest of the questions, I finished my test with 30 minutes still left.. .

I also had a question of frame relay which took me offguard... this wasn't covered in that much details in icnd1 books..

oh yes.. and I got 944..

I cant type today. I am so burnt right now from studying. The CCENT was one I just picked up because I was off from school for a month. I am lucky I can type at all. LOL

And yes, we are off to the pub tonight, a date and a drink.
