in CCNA & CCENT
I finally passed CCNA today at the second attempt.
Having score 815 last time and failing by 1% I was bitterly disappointed but today I passed 973, it just goes to show what hard work and perseverance gets you.
And I think it really is a tad TOO difficult for an entry level exam.
Comparing Microsoft to Cisco it's like one extreme to the other

I've heard the MS exams are pretty brutal, mainly 70-680 as that's what I was looking into a while back (until I started reading the book and realized how mind numbingly boring it was to me

Honestly, I've passed the 70-680 and I don't think it is the same league as the CCNA exam due to the fact you get 2 hours 30 minutes in the 680 and 1h 30 minutes to do CCNA which also includes simulations which the 70-680 doesn't

Are you going to try to go for CCNP too? Which study materials did you use? Good luck with your other exams. -

Congratulations. Great work!
Keep in mind, entry level in Cisco parlance means entry level Cisco and not necessarily entry level networking.
P.S. Is the CNNA in your title a new Cisco certification?
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.
