in CCNA & CCENT
Oh man does it feel great! I have poured the majority of my free time into this exam for the past 6 months. It feels good to finally be done with it so I can move on to bigger and better things.
Materials uses:
Packet Tracer
Official Exam Cert Guide (Odom)
CBT Nuggets
CCNA Portable Command Guide

I have to say though, the exam was really not difficult. I was expecting something much harder. I scored a 931 and had a little over 20 minutes left on the clock. I guess it all comes down to how much you prepare.

Congrats - that's a great score. I had very similar sources for my studying and I also felt the same way about the exam. It was not as hard as I had feared and I thought it was very fair overall. I finished in around 65 minutes and never felt rushed at all - it is all in the preparation. -

Congrats, did you find the cbt nuggets videos useful? I may be using them for CCENT along with Packet Tracer and maybe Boson test. I have taken cisco classes in the past and been studying off and on for years but I feel the videos will b e a big help. Anyway good luck with any future studies.Roguetadhg wrote: »Congratulations! -

Yeah, Jeremy has a really good way of explaining things. He is very easy to understand. However, I don't suggest using the Nuggets without a book to go along with it. Those videos would be better for review, not to learn foundation concepts. I felt that the Cisco Press books written by Wendell Odom were a great resource. They will more than prepare you for the exam. Odom tends to give you more information than you need, and this usually gets your foot in the door for the next exam in line. But that's really how Cisco exams work. Each one kinda leads into the next.Goals for 2018: MCSA: Cloud Platform, AWS Solutions Architect, MCSA : Server 2016, MCSE: Messaging -

Ok that sounds good man. I actually have the Sybex CCNA study guide too as well as Packet Tracer. I have to look into the Cisco Press books more. Last time I checked them out was about a year ago. Just trying to decide if Im gonna do the one or two test approach. I was thinking that maybe since i'm laid off may as well do the one test : ). Thanks so much man. -
