in CCNA & CCENT
Well off of a whim I took the CCENT without doing much studying. I am taking the CCNA and CCNA: Security track for WGU and wanted to see where I stood on my path. Being a Support Engineer for SonicWALL I am not new to networking just fresh at Cisco.

I have done some toying with my lab setup at home but didn't do much diving into the books. WGU pays for two tries so I figured to go and take it and if I failed I would know my weeknesses.

To my surprise I walked out with a score of 887. While not the best I am pretty proud for the lack of effort put into it. I have my ICND2 scheduled for 4 weeks and this one I am going to put more effort into the books and material.

I have the CBT Nuggets and the Lammle Fast Pass book. Any experience with this book? Any suggestions for a Cisco noob? :)
