This Friday @ 1:00 640-802

djmaya

Well guys wish me luck. I set the exam for Friday (640-802) and I am a little nervous. I have spent the last 2 years in the Cisco academy preparing for the test. I wanted to go take the test at the end of July, but I want to use the promotion code before time runs out. Hopefully I will not need to use the promotion code. I want to get this one out of the way on the first attempt if possible. The only thing I need to get faster at is binary conversion, but I feel that I can pass with the knowledge that I have gained over the past two years in the lab. I have been taking practice tests and I am getting about 85%. I will keep you guys posted.

Since I completed all of the Cisco Academy classes for the CCNA and passed the final in the last class I was given a voucher for 70% off the price of the 640-802. I guess taking one Cisco class a semester has its benefits. Unfortunately I am taking college algebra this summer, so I have not been able to give the CCNA my full attention, but I want to see what the test is like and I want to use the promotion code before time runs out in case I fail my first attempt. Thanks for the support and the advice.

Waiting on the pass here.

I needed 825 to pass. Going back next Friday. I know I can pass. I am proud of this score ( 818 ) even though I failed because I am so damn close. I guess this was really a practice test.

creamy_stew

That seriously has to be 1 q away from passing
What did you feel was the biggest problem? Any specific area, time etc.

Yep -- use the COMEBACK2009 promotion code and call this one your realistic practice test

Time was the biggest factor for me. I need to keep a closer eye on the clock. Thursday is the first day I can test again, so I will probably go on that day. I plan to attack the practice tests and use packet tracer to stay sharp as well as review some things like NAT and IPv6.

djmaya

Do I have to wait until next Thursday to reschedule or will I be able to reschedule after midnight tonight?

Satcom,

Thanks brother, most of my time was spent in the lab over the last 2 years hands on with the real stuff. I am proud of this score in my mind I passed. I will get it on the next attempt now that I now what to expect.

I figured as much. I got an extra 30 min because I'm not a native English speaker and I used 10-15 minutes of it. My timing was really out of whack because I got a lot of sims/scenarios early on. I freaked out and if I had had 30 minutes less, I would have freaked out even more.

I'm really not sure this tight time constraint in combination with not being able to go back is productive. After I had a lot of sims in the beginning of the exam, I rushed through the "single choice - multiple choice" questions to make up time, and then used more time/q towards the end of the exam just because I had time to spare lol.
