Passed Today!

medic

I took the CCNA 640-801 exam today and passed with a score of 986.

Planning and Designing: 100%
Implementing and Operations: 100%
Troubleshooting: 93%
Technology: 100%

The test seemed easier than the online Academy tests; I guess they want to over prepare you.

I had two simulations, both routers. First one was configure e0 and s0 with the first available host address of subnet X and Y given a network address and subnet mask. The second was RIP troubleshooting.

Also had two drag and drop questions. All the rest were multiple choice single/multiple answers. I had no fill in the blank questions.

I took the test at Northampton Community College in Bethlehem, PA. Computer worked fine, no delay on the simulations.

I finished with about 25 minutes left. (55 questions).

I wasn't really sure I was ready for it. I kept thinking, "let me just study one more week". I finally decided to just get it over with. I guess I was ready after all!

My resources used to prepare:

AAS degree in Computer Info Tech - Networking
Completed Cisco Networking Academy (Obtained 50% off voucher)
Sybex CCNA Study Guide 4th Edition (Great Review)
Exam Cram 2 CCNA Practice Questions
Cisco CCNA Network Simulator (Boson) (Very helpful)
This website (Forums, Tech Notes, Practice Tests)

Cisco Technology Support (File this under "If you want to know more")

Nice job man! Very nice scores. I always say, it's better to be over prepare than walk out of the exam center peaved! Congrats! Now, go celebrate!

Man, that free-tests.com websites sucks! They don't have 70-215 or 210. Unless I'm blind

LOL, boy did you luck out with those

I took mine today also and passed. I had a RIP sim and a switch VTP sim. Had two match questions and the rest were multiple choice. I didnt do near as well, I got an 876. I have only worked on Nortel gear and did the self study Cisco Press books and any test simulators I could get my hands on.

keenon

i got the same sims on my test also..LOL

Come on man, it sounds like your getting down on yourself over a non-perfect score. A pass is a pass. I wish certification tests didn't tell you your score, just that you passed. That's all that really matters. I would like it to also tell you the ones you got wrong and the answers to that question. But...... if I had it my way, I'd be able to work from home

sbenjamin

Yeah I know what you mean, there are some questions on there they I would love to know the answers to!

Excellent score, good job

Congrats to you both.

When people say they had 55 questions, does that include the two sims??

Yes, that includes the sims. They get a question number just like all the other questions and can show up anywhere in the test. My first sim was question #3. The second one was somewhere in the middle. I was glad to get them out of the way and could relax for the rest of the test.

aaah... Thanks for that info. I always assumed they would come at the end of the multichoice!

Mine were towards the end, question 40 something and #52. I wish mine came earlier.
