I'm really bummed because i studied SO hard for this exam! I want to take it again but I'm at a lost at what to study exactly.. here's my results:

-Describe the operation of data networks 50%
-implement a small switched network 44%
-implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements for a small branch office 89%
-implement a small routed network 73%
-explain and select the appropriate admin tasks required for a WLAN 67%
-identify security threats to a network and describe general methods to mitigate those threats 100%
-implement and verify WAN links 67%

..What books do you recommend i study? i REALLY want to pass this certification test

Everyones different but what helped me was the CBT Nuggets and Todd Lammle's Sybex book. I know it is a bit overkill but I did put together a lab as well which helped me get the real feel hands on experience. I have also used GNS3 which was great and I probably would have done fine without the lab.

Don't be bummed just dust yourself off and pick back up on the sections you were weak in. Drill, drill and drill until it comes quick to you.

I recommend

Amazon.com: CCNA Official Exam Certification Library (Exam 640-802), Third Edition (Containing ICND1 and ICND2 Second Edition Exam Certification Guides) (9781587201837): Wendell Odom: Books

Amazon.com: 31 Days Before Your CCNA Exam: A day-by-day review guide for the CCNA 640-802 exam (2nd Edition) (9781587131974): Allan Johnson: Books


I suggest that you focus on the domains that you got under 70% on. Then study the other domains to try to get the percentage up.
