in CCNA & CCENT
I did not get to go through the Boson test exam for this test as thoroughly as I would have liked, but I am in a time crunch, and need to start my MCSE as soon as possible. If I did not take it today, I would not be able to take it until Tuesday, and with as long as I have been out of work, an additional 3 days of study for the next exam is priceless.

Here's hoping that I can get it knocked out today. I feel more comfortable going in though, as I know what to expect from the exam environment.

    Best of luck to you! I haven't even looked at the Boson practice exams for ICND2, but I found the ICND1 exam to be quite similar to Boson's practice. I was happy I went through it thoroughly.

    Good luck. I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park!

    For the first time in my life, I rescheduled an exam to an earlier date. Tomorrow at 11:30! Time to finish up this CCNA. :)

    Passed with an 876.....

    Meh.

    The score reflects my being overloaded with Cisco studies for the moment and just deciding to take the test before I was completely ready, just to get it over with.

    I was thinking I was a bit weak on WAN configuration and interswitch comms, and I was right, as I scored a 66% and 73% in those two sections, respectively.

    What was not fun was when I kept mistyping a command in one of my sims, and could not figure out why I was not seeing what I was supposed to on a show command. I think I had to retype the command above 6 times, lol.

    On to MCSE studies now. Trying to get a spare PC ready to run some sort of virtual environment. I have heard I can run a bare bones OS on a system, and then install a VM type installation and then install multiple VM units on top of that.

    It's al a little confusing right now, but I am sure I'll figure it out..

    Make sure you know your frame relay, EIGRP/OSPF, and access lists.

    The format is very similar to the ICND1, so make sure you know your "show" commands..

    Good luck!

    Congrats on the pass. I myself have just started the MCSE and I would get VM workstation 6.5. You need a good host computer with lots of memory (I've 6GB). Try youtube for a video.

    I got a 2 year old Alienware gaming laptop with 2G of RAM, and I installed Virtual PC 2007 on it before I read your response. Already got a working Server 2003 installation running inside a VM, and I am currently working out how to connect it to my laptop's internet connection.

    Cool stuff!

    There is a feature in VMware workstation called "Snapshot". Take a snapshot then do the lab, if you break/mess it up. Just revert to before the snapshot. This the main reson I choose Vmware.

    I couldn't even try Virtual PC as it won't run on Vista Home Premium and I refused to get Ultimate or business.
