    Not so bad if you break it up into ICND 1 & 2.

    I'm still debating if I want to do the 2 exam route or not...there's pros and cons for both I guess. I'll probably study for the 2nd part and then see how I feel.

    I felt very short on time while taking ICND 1 & 2. Material wasn't hard, but just not enough time. I hear when you take the combined, the time crunch is even worse.

    Just remember to use the time from sitting down until the start of the exam to regurgitate all the info you want onto your dry erase board and don't spend more then 10-15 minutes on a Sim. Good luck I am sure you will be fine icon_thumright.gif

    Hope so :) lol I know where i f** up.. I rushed a little because I got hit with a sim that was tough on the first question and took 15 minutes on it.. the next sims werent bad but since I was rushing I forgot a detail that dinged me and I had some second guessing of myself... came home and ran em through the old packet tracer and sure enough my gut was right but my final answer wasnt lol...

    I might add though I've never taken a vendor test before so I kinda wanted to see what I was getting into. I know I need to review some topics I didnt feel strong on but to be honest the best study guide I've had so far is my experience - most of the questions were common stuff except for the specific ones that obviously I forgot to cover :)) oh well even a broken clock is right twice a day.. gonna schedule it Monday when I get into work

    Sounds like you are on the right track of knowing where to brush up! I'm thinking of scheduling my test for the end of the month. Just finished ICND2 book from Odom. Now I need to just get all the definitions and such down pat. I feel like I'm never ready!
