CCNA Exam Today... (my experience)!

So today I was set to take the CCNA exam at 1pm. I actually called the test center to see if I could take the test at 9am. So I was able to come in and take th exam at 9. About midway through, I selected an answer to a question and the PC locked... I informed the proctor and clicked okay repeatedly until the test closed out. What ended up happening was a circuit blew and the switch that connected to my PC lost power. This ultimately caused my PC to lose connectivity... to make a long story short, the testing center has to file some type of irregularity report to VUE & Cisco. I'll have to take the test again next week.

The one good thing was I was able to see how the questions were worded, I honestly felt that I was cruising along though. So, no sweat off my back... I'll be ready to take it again once its blessed off by the powers to be!

But do you get to take the rest of the day off (it's around Lunch Time Friday, right?) to plan out how to use your additional study time?

And perhaps some liquid motivation

to brace yourself for a continued study effort

and make up for a lost celebration opportunity?

Good Luck next week!!

Shame you had so many problems. At least none of them were your fault

Good luck for next week.

Unfortunately I must return to work!

Thanks... I'll continue to study throughout the weekend. I look forward to having a liquid celebration next week...

Fortunately, you have a job to return to.

The celebration

is the hardest part, I think!

That sucks you had so many issues, but at least they weren't your fault and you have to pay again!

If that happened to me, I'd be pissed. The closest center that I can take my exam is 2.5 hours away. So, I usually take 2 exams a trip, if I can. But, my next exam is the MS 291, and it may be my only one that day. Either that, or my ICND1, as it should be easy (I've been studying my ass off for both! I feel really confident on the ICND1, not so much on the beast...).
