in CCNA & CCENT
Passed with 972,
Used Nuggets First, Then Lammle, Then ODOM, Labbed every situation, especially every STP & RSTP Situations.
Think I overstudied this tbh, spent around 4 hrs a day for about six weeks.
Could subnet off the top of my head in less than a sec, and could work out VLSM in about 5 secs without paper to write on.
Really enjoyed this exam, My testing centre had replaced all the PC's. On my ICND 1 test I had a sticky mouse with a sticky ball and there were no letter on the keyboard keys.
I Found nuggets to be more of a summary/overview than anything, Lammles book is king IMHO.

I can't tell you how many times I was going to take a break and it just didn't last more than a few days.
Congratulations and Good Luck. -

I've got my test booked for the 14th April. I've been studying a few hours most days since November. I feel like the longer I go on studying the more I seem to forget. I can study frame relay for a couple of weeks and have that down but then feel worried when I do a practice test and get questions on it. Such a broad range to remember. I feel like I do know facts about everything I just don't know everything about everything.
I've been doing the boson exams and I got 760 and 730. I also did a transcender exam and got 73%. I redid a boson exam yesterday though and only got two wrong so at least that shows I'm learning I guess -

I'm using Trainsignal, Odom ICND2 and Lammle. I feel I need to lab it up more but I can configure pretty much everything ok. Apart from a few commands here and there I'm ok, it's more of the theory I need to brush up on and I think that's really what you need for the exam. Passing the exam is a different scenario to configuring and working with a network in the real world it seems.
I'll just keep brushing up on the theory and try and memorise as much as possible for exam day -

I couldn't find strictly an ICND2 book by Lammle like I could the ICND1. Did you use the book that covered the whole CCNA? -

Sorry , should have been more specific, Books were CCNA by Todd Lammle & ICND2 By Wendell Odom.
I just picked up the topics relating to whats required for the exam in the lammle book.
I really don't know what to do next to be honest, I looked at the exam topics for ROUTE and it looks daunting, saying that, so did the the ICND2 topics before I started swatting up on it.
I have a an ASA5540 in my rack at work, and maybe I should get to know it a little better. -

Awesome those are the same two books I've purchased for ICND2.
I've been watching CBT Nuggets as well as Trainsignal and INE videos. About half way through Odom's ICND2 and it is quite a turn off. So much damn material and I feel half the time he runs off on wild tangents.
Maybe I should start using Lammle's CCNA book instead of the ICND2 book. I was going to use Odom's before Lammle's but I may reverse the order now. -

He doesn't have one, he did post this on his forum - (7th edition)
For the ICND1 exam, study these chapters:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16
For ICND2 exam, study these chapters (assuming you've passed ICND1):
5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
For CCNA composite, obviously study all chapters.
