in CCNA & CCENT
Hey guys,
I haven't been active on this board in over 5 months- sorry!
However, yesterday I passed my CCNA with an excellent score after about 14months of study.
The hardest thing for me on the exam was route summarization because I didn't practice this enough.
For everything else on the exam I feel I walked it. I did ALOT of dynamips labs while preparing and I also used the INE CCIE core technologies work books to get hands on with the technologies on rack rental.
I certainly took my time studying for this exam but I feel like I could have done it in alot less time if u put in the effort.
Now, my plan is to work on towards CCIE R&S. I picked up the BSCI self study guide and lab portfolio on my way home from exam yesterday so I'm hoping to knock that out in next two months.
Thanks again for answering any questions I posted here. I've spent alot of time Reading othe peoples posts and certainly benefited from them.
All the best,
Tigerplug

Thanks for the responses guys.
Well my goal was to go straight for IE and not bother with CCNA/P which is why I didn't bother sitting the CCNA for 14 months.
Basically I've been working through alot of CCIE workbooks ans the COD from INE from day 1. This is really helping my understanding of things. I'm going to keep studying for IE and pick up the CCNP/IP over the next six months (as qod and MPLS will be usful for me with the lab changes!).
I'm proud it took my 14 months to sit the CCNA as I feel I know know the material extemely well while I also picked up MCSA/E 2003 and Juniper JNCIA-EX on the way.
I'm planning for JNCIA-ER within 3 weeks and BSCI in next month or two depending on free time.
I'm loving every second of my study! -

Congrats on the pass. I studied for around 9-10 months so that I could understand the material as well. I've been studying for the BCMSN for almost a month and have another month before my first attempt December 10th, 2009. The BSCI is pretty tough from what I have heard, good luck on your studies. -

Good job! But, did you break my score?
