I passed CCENT before ( 6 months before) but i decided to take CCNA now to repeat every topic from the beginning. 1 month of studying seriously and I got 894 :)

Now CCDA preparation will begin.

    Wow congrats.

    How many hours did you study per day? It takes most people tops 1-3 months if they have full time jobs or are students. Not trying to say anything bad. Some people also just learn and understand things better than others. I guess already knowing CCENT must have been the breakthrough :)

    I am a student, studying Computer Science. I have a lab at home. I can definitely say that lab is worth to have it. If you don't count the last 3 days, i was studying for 2 hours per day. ( last 3 days = 12 hours per day).

    Gozcu,

    Great job. Congratulations!

    I wish you the best on your CCDA. I'm sure you have heard how "dry" the material is. I tried to ignore everyone and go for it anyway, but I found that it is very hard to focus and read the material. I read about 3 chapters and decided to change course and go for CCIP instead.

    Good luck with it! Let us know how it goes.

    Outstanding achievement...passing the CCNA these days is no easy feat. I've taken two versions now and the latest version is loads harder than the exam I passed back in '03.

    thank you all, I learn't a lot from here. I owe to this community so much. Cooperation always wins. I already purchased Official CCDA Cert guide. I hope it will be an interesting book to read. I will write about my CCDA process soon.
