in CCNA & CCENT
After failing the 1st time by 24 points, I took it 6 days later and passed. Not the best score in the world, but a CCNA is a CCNA. From my experience with all of my tests (Microsoft/Comptia/Cisco) I believe that Cisco has the tougher test because they make sure that you know what your talking about. The hardest thing about this test to me is the time limit, it makes you be quick and decisive on what the problem is.
Im SO glad that I got a pass because I'm have been burned out with studying the last 4 months w/ college and fitting in the Security+ and CCNA (all self study).
I will say to all of the ppl looking to take the test I used the Sybex (Lammle) book, CBT Nuggets, and a small lab (1 Cisco 1811 router and 1 Cisco 2960 switch). You don't have to have a complex configuration to know what's going on and how it should look because the resources I listed do an EXCELLENT job of filling you in. Just make sure you practice hands on with basic configurations, ACLs, RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and all the troubleshooting commands (ie sh run, sh int, etc.).
Thanks to all you guys who encouraged me after the fail, I DID IT!

Congratulations.... Good going!
I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

Glad to see that you passed it.
I'm probably going to try for a Cisco cert or two, if only to get more "cans of coke" ... if you've been perusing these forums for a while, you know what post I'm talking about
