in CCNA & CCENT
Finally I am a CCNA! I passed with a 854. Finished the test with 3 minutes to spare because I really took my time on each question. It was a much fairer test (less confusing wording) than the ICND2. I highly recommend the one test approach if you can subnet quickly.I used Todd Lamel's book "CCNA 7th edition Study Guide" and the practice labs that I got from him via email. Also I used Boson test sim (very happy with that, its harder than the CCNA test), and I used CBT Nuggets (Jeremy is the man). Either MCSA or SQL Server is on deck for me but not for a little while.

I think I will go the composite exam route too. Took the CCNA years ago and came real close. Been working in Telecommunications/Tech support type roles for about 9 years. I think this time I will mostly use Packet Tracer and CBT nuggets with the boson tests. If its something I did not get from CBT nuggets I will go to the Todd Lammle book for whatever I am having trouble with. Plan on doing lots of hands on.Congrats! -

I'd love to go the CCNP route but my job will most likely want me to get some virtualization, SQL, and M$ knowledge under my belt. I am going to be working for a small company as a jack of all trades IT guy.2018 Achievements:

While the job may want you to go in one direction, I would strongly urge you to set your own path and follow that. A few years back I was in a similar situation where I was required to be a jack of all trades, but as the saying goes you become a master of none.
Good luck and keep us posted on your decision/progress!CCIE Sec: Starting Nov 11 -

Been gone for a while, but just caught this. If you had issues passing the ICND2 exam as a single exam and relied on more ICND1 questions, you'll have a terrible time with route.Currently Reading: CISM: All-in-One
