in CCNA & CCENT
Wish me luck! 
I feel very confident, which actually kind of scares me, seeing that there a lot of "fail" posts.
I've used pretty much all materials available, and have studied constantly for the last 7 months. I've watched through all of Jeremy's (CBT Nuggets) and Chris Bryant's (TrainSignal) videos, and read both Lammle's and Odom's books as well. I've also used multiple lab books that have been kindly posted on here (Subnet192, Free CCNA Workbook) and have practiced commands through PacketTracer and on real equipment (thank you from the networking engineers at work
). I also have scored 85-90% constantly on the Boson practice tests that came with Odom's book.
I probably could have scheduled this 1-2 months back, but I do not believe that there is anything else that I could learn at this point that will help me with the CCENT. Failing would be a big disappointment, but I am also prepared for it, in case I do. Good luck to everyone else who have upcoming exams!

Good luck. How I see failing the test is that after that you understand how the test is, and you know what areas you need to study in also. With all of the study materials you have you should defiantly kill it.Studying For:

more details after getting home!
Well done!
You seems to have everything down, almost perfect
as a future test taker, what areas do you think you could have improved on? Im going through whatever I can right now, because I have my test on Monday
Oh and i've grouped up with some other people on the forums and created contacts and what not, if your interested shoot me a pm(admins wont let me post my e-mail) with your e-mail. I will be taking part 2(hopefully next when I pass on Monday
) so having some collaboration with others may help! Sharing material and stuff.
Cheers, -

I had forgot to mention that I also took ALOT of notes, about 100 pages worth. I just put all of my notes into Word, and whenever I needed to reference something, I could easily search the document for the info I needed. This helped me immensely. -

Dam your one crazy note taker! But thats good, I have lots of notes but it worries me because I don't have that much! haha, I have a but load of material, pdf's n such.
Oh I forgot to ask earlier. I took a class recently for the ccna, and the instructor told us that the tests now days moved a little further away from subnetting and more towards the ins and outs of Layer2 and 3 routing. He mentioned that awhile back it was almost 50% subnetting and questions on it, but now maybe 30%. I've practiced subnetting a ton and can consistently do a practice question in less than 2 mins each but would you say he is accurate ? -

I can't really discuss what was on the test, but you absolutely must know both of those topics if you are going to pass. -

And for those who are wondering, the Boson tests that come with Odom's book are a good indicator of test difficulty. Some parts of the exam were a little easier than Boson, some were also more difficult.
