Passed ICND1

MrXpert

Hi,

I passed my ICND1 with a score of 925:) I am very pleased with the result but also at certain points during the exam I actually believed I was on the road to failure. Overall the exam was easier than I expected.

thanks for all your help as I would not have achieved it without your guidance and advice, especially during the initial stages when I didn't even know what packet tracer was or didn't fully grasp certain topics.

Congrads on passing. What did you use to study for the exam, and how long did you study. I'm currently studying for the same exam, hoping to take it in January.

Thanks!
I used the following sources
Odom's CCENT ICND1 Cisco Press Book
Dummies Guide to CCENT by Glen Clarke
Exam Cram CCENT
CBT nuggets videos
Train signal videos

Plus a few misc souces or areas i wanted to recap on
CCENT Certification All-In-One For Dummies **** Sheet - For Dummies
Router Alley - Guides
Network + book (Sybex) - I used this purely to learn subnetting
Security+ By Darrill Gibson

I found the Odom book good to start off with but after a while I did get a little bored of its dryness so started using the Dummies guide a lot more and it goes into more detail on the IOS commands which probably is more than whats needed for the CCENT. It's also a better read. Nice fiendly font. I like that.

It took me 3 months of study but the first month I admit I didn't really set myself any targets (I wasn't very confident of my ability so procastinated) so my studying was on and off and a bit inconsistent.
