in CCNA & CCENT
I am feeling nervous, but I don't think further studying will help! (on and off for six months since ICND1).

Fingers crossed, I'm going in!

    A little nervous huh??? icon_wink.gif

    This last night just go over the stuff you dont really feel 100% with. Maybe watch those specific CBT nuggets and get some lab time in, if you have one.

    Take a quick look over the ICND2 blueprint and see if there is anything your weak on. It never hurts to take a look at those areas the night before (or the morning of!). Good luck man! Hopefully tomm. you will join the ranks as a CCNA.

    Good luck! Read each question carefully on the exam so that you make sure you have a clear understanding of what they are asking (it helped me when I took that exam).

    Updated - passed with an 862!

    Not thrilled with the score, but I am happy to have passed (on the first try).

    I got hung up badly on an early sim, I know I didn't get full credit (but I know I got at least part of it right).

    Then later on I was hit by a simlet that really constrained the commands I could use to solve the problem, did some guessing there (time was running down!).

    I flew through the remaining 15 multiple choice questions, making quick decisions to make up for time spent earlier, and expecting one last sim I never got. I feel like I did a great job with subnetting, NAT, ACL, and routing protocols.

    I struggled with VTP and STP, only because of the WAY in which the questions were asked.

    Overall I think the test was a FAIR assessment of my knowledge, however my ability to troubleshoot and fix CISCO gear is much better than the test would allow for. For example, if I could use the full range of commands I could have knocked out that simlet, but I realize CISCO is testing me on using SPECIFIC commands, not just ANY command.

    Drinking this weekend!!!

    Another "Andrew" laying the smack-down on ICND2 is certainly a good sign for me. That's awesome! icon_cool.gif

    I don't know yet. I've been studying Cisco (ICND1 & 2) for more than a year, so it is strange not knowing what to do.

    Most likely:

    Windows 7 (first step on renewing my MCSE into MCITP EA)

    or

    Linux+ (would be good for jobs where a little Linux admin is required)

    or

    CCNA: Wireless (wouldn't help me that in much in my job, but would be nice to have, I'll probably wait on this one until I need to renew my CCNA)

    Nicely done.. I think the exam focused WAY too much on VTP and STP.
