Passed CCNA 4, time for the composite CCNA exam

So... after 14 bloody months of the academy training I am finally done with it, THANKS GOD !!!! It was so long and stupid journey, because we didn't even saw a router or switch during this 14 months... Yes I know, I got OWNED.
Didn't know anything about cisco or networking, that's why I signed in...

Anyway..it's now over...and I am looking forward to pass composite exam.I will probably take it by the end of the january, I just need to rewiev all the theory..
Any advices? It's kinda boring to read ccna 1-2-3 again....but I have forgotten most of the theory... so should I read Odoms's book again, or something else ? I do have Todd Lammle's book.
Any advice higly appreciated

Yea, I think you should read Odom's books and use the CCNA courses to help. I used some of the courses to help with stuff that I don't understand. I don't think it's a good idea to take the exam at the end of this month if you forgot most of the theory.

I paid 2000 euro for a 6 month CCNA course. I can barely keep myself awake as the instructor reads from the cisco academy online material, and we wont be seeing any equipment.

Using CBT nuggets and eventually my own lab I will pass the CCNA on my own. I have already overtaken the class, and once I get my hands on the equipment I might not finish it and go ahead and pass my CCNA before the class ends in March.

I never thought I could pass the CCNA before the course though. It gave me the focus I needed to do this on my own, so its not all for nothing

I have not passed the ICND1 yet so I cant really give advice. I am slowly building a network on packet tracer and expanding, and using different protocols along the way, and will be doing this to keep myself sharp for the exam.

lol 2000 lots of money, I paid for 8month course 800 £ but was worth it!!

Yahel- read, read, do as much labs as possible.. a week before my exam I took week of and studied all day long...

What a ripoff! My Cisco Networking Academy course lab room had 2 HUGE racks with at least a dozen routers and switches. Our instructor gave us a spool of cable and had us cable the entire lab. I'm sorry you didn't get this valuable experience

I have to agree with you that the Cisco Academy online material is rather dry...it was so boring I wound up not completing the program (I was dumber in my early 20s than I am now). Figured I could finish my studies on my own. As you can see in my certs list to the right of this window I never finished studying and took the exam

I'm reading Odom's book ICND1, it's pretty good. If you want to get some actual labbing in without using real equipment Free CCNA Workbook might help you out a bit. Good luck on the exam!
