Take it when you feel you're ready.

After I failed my first attempt (because of a sim), I wanted to take it again immediately. Instead, I waited 2 weeks, and went over areas that I knew could be stronger in. When I tested the second time, not only was I more confident and relaxed, I also took my time in completing the exam. Granted I still finished with 15 minutes left on the clock, but the first time I had 20 minutes left. See...I made progress.

thanks for suggestion. But the problem with me is i had holidays in which i prepared for CCNA and now holidays are over and Uni has started , i took 24 credit points of subjects (i m in Australia in case u r confused abt credit points system

) So as the weeks pass by the workload at Uni will keep increasing. And i wont have enough time to concentrate on CCNA else i wont get good grades at Uni

Any way out? Plz suggest me

Like I said, take it when you feel ready. It seems like you're ready, so take it as soon as you can.

I think you need to get back up on that horse as soon as possible. Pick a date within the next two weeks and commit to it.
