Passed CCENT today

Hey all--

Passed CCENT this morning, so I wanted to stop by and thank everyone for the wealth of information and support here. Some notables:

Score: 874
Resources used: Cisco Press by Odom, packet tracer, boson exam environment, CBT Nuggets

In all honesty I'm disappointed in my score. I think I was thrown off because this is the first exam I've taken in which I couldn't go back through and review my answers. As a result I spent far too much time verifying my answers and only had 12 minutes to spare by the time I was finished! For those of you using the Boson exam environment--Keep using it! Its format is very similar to the actual exam and I didn't feel as though I was looking at a foreign format when I was in the chair. It is also much more difficult than the real exam.

I'll probably spend a week lightly reviewing my weak areas before taking a short break prior to ICND2.

Thanks again everyone!

Congratulations.

As a wise man once told me when I was upset with a passing score, "A touchdown is a touchdown, you don't get anything for going further over the goal line."

Congrats! Where did you get your boson information from ? I'm currently using ODOM's book 3rd edition. I think its helping me out a lot and to be honest I feel that its all I need. Then again, I always worry that I do not have enough even though I do lol.

Congratulations on passing.

Remember that the one that comes with Odams book isn't actually a Boson EXSIM-Max exam. It's the Boson exam enviornment that Odam wrote the questions for. I found the ExSim-Max exam to be harder than the one from Odams book.
