in CCNA & CCENT
Best day ever!
The testing center I went to was nice. It was clean and quiet. The testing center i went to for the ICND1 was a ****.
The test itself is tough but not in the fact that you have to remember just facts but you really have to understand multiple things going on in the network to answer the question right. I had 18 minutes left but I did feel presser to move on if I was unsure of the answer.
I have never work so hard in my life on one thing. It is a huge relief to have it done. Next I will be taking on an entry level EMC exam (fall 2011). After that I will take on the CCNA wireless (spring 2012)
Things I used to study:
• Odom books
• CBT
• Trainsignel
• 1 week class on ICND2 (waste of time)
• Packet tracer
• Some lab work
• Setting up 12 new 3750x (for work)

IMO i think its about the same. But i did spend more time learning ICND2 info.
If i were to change anything i would have skipped the bootcamp. I would have set up a home lab and work on just labs for 4-5 days. -
