New CCNA right here!

MrBrian

Well I went the two exam route, and passed icnd2 on Friday. Man it feels good!

I had no problem with icnd 1, but this one almost got away from me. I was confident and felt a little too comfortable going through the questions. For each question i was picking the right ones, and also examining why each wrong choice was wrong. I ended up taking FAR too much time lol... especially in the first half of the test. I had about 20 minutes for the last 20 questions. And I knew there'd be more questions with topologies and scenarios where it takes a minute or so just to see what they want, and I was right. But I managed through and passed, so that's good.

Anyways lesson learned!! I will definitely move at more of a "brisk" rate on my CCNP exams.

Congrats on the new CCNA!
How much labbing did you do and did you use a "real" lab or simulator?
I was originally planning to go the 2 test route but finances and scheduling problems kept coming up and I got bored with reviewing the ICND1 material so I jumped into studying the ICND2 material. If I had more spare time I'd be taking the test in the next 2 weeks but it'll probably have to wait a few more weeks. In the meantime Im labbing it up and taking some practice tests.
