CCNA: Passed Today Second attempt

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?
