Passed!

I took my sweet time prepping for this exam. Days away from my CCNA expiration date, I needed a pass and I got it... but it wasn't a landslide victory. It was challenging and when I submitted the last answer I really wasn't sure how it would turn out.

I was lacking in the IPS and ACS areas. But I'm happy to say that I passed legitimately - no cheats. I used Cisco Press and Trainsignal videos.

From here on, it may be EMC training, or the CCSP track...
