Passed Ccent today!!!!

Javi437

Well after not passing it the 1st time the 2nd time was the charm. I passed with a 925 and oh do i feel good and this could not have been on a perfect day. I am leaving to Colorado today for a snowboarding trip and i will make sure to celebrate overthere. Thanks to all of you who have helped me and to this great site. I used Cbt Nuggets and cisco press plus my own lab that i have at home. Now what is the next step to get my cert?

Congrats!

How did you approach studying after you failed the first time? I found it hard to actually remember what I DIDN'T know from the first time I took (and failed) the exam. I was so pressed for time that I couldn't concentrate on trying to remember the topics I had difficulty with. There were some items on the ICND1 that I am SURE are not on the syllabus for the CCENT (I checked and see them listed for ICND2). So, I'm kind of just going through the entire CCNA book again looking for topics that were on the ICND1 that jog my memory as being a topic I missed on the test.

I also just added the Boson CCENT test simulator to my current CBT Nuggets and Richard Deal CCNA textbook kit. Hopefully, it will weed out the topics I'm weak on.

BTW, I failed by a measly 4 points! If it weren't for the screaming kids and the teacher in the room next door talking loudly and two markers going dry, maybe I could have scored those 4 points to pass!

I'm bummed out.

Failing Cisco exams is just part of the process of learning. Everyone fails a Cisco exam.

Congrats on the Pass, and have fun carving it up on the slopes. I'll be basking in the 74deg Arizona sunshine thinking about how you're freezing

Thanks everyone!!!! Im not sure what to tell you, i my self did not pass by 7 points back in Nov. I took Dec off to go snowboard and picked up the books to weeks ago and started reading again. I actually finished the test with 35 min left and when i noticed i was done i was very very nervous till i saw the score. All i could say is just keeping going at it brother. Also what is the next step to get my Cert from Cisco?

Thanks, dude.

Your next step is the ICND2 test, which will earn you the CCNA.

Congrats on the pass!! Do you mean what is the next step as in how you get your wallet card and such from Cisco? or what is the next step as in ICND2? If I remember correctly you'll get an email from cisco within a few days but I could be wrong. This is where you log into the certification tracking system. https://i7lp.integral7.com/durango/do/login?ownername=cisco&channel=cisco&basechannel=integral7

I am wondering this same thing... I got an email that said I could get it in pdf, and to go to the intrigal website and request it in pdf. I did that, but haven't gotten anything since then. Today is the fifth day since I passed my exam so i'm hoping to get something soon.


EDIT: Got it!!!!! This is going to look good on my wall!

Pennsylvania rocks for skiing - I don't ski but I drive past a lot of resorts this time of year and I know for a fact we have tons of snow here plus snowmakers

Yup I just looked out my window and it is still below freezing and the snow is everywhere

My funniest skiing memory was taking my son to a snowboarding tournament in 2005

To my left I could see the ski lift and the operators fooked up and it was running way too fast. No one got hurt but it was awesome seeing the Japanese tourists rolling down the hill.

No offense to our Asian friends but I think some of them are still looking for their cameras to this day.
