Passed ICND2!

I didn't want to steal the thunder of the other guy who has a pass thread up, so here is mine.

PASSED! Hell yes! Got a 902, much better than I was expecting. Was a little disappointed at the test content, kind of felt like they didn't touch on certain areas much when they should have. I was surprised at the number of sims I had, as I was not expecting it based on reading other people's experiences.

Thanks to all the posters on TechExams for all their help. Most of you never know how much you help people like me (lurkers) but you really really do. Odds are if you are posting a question, someone else out there was hoping it would get posted because they need to know the answer too. The motivation that coming here and reading these boards gives me helps a lot as well, constantly hearing about other people's experiences with the tests. I've found some really great study materials and techniques from reading other posters' strategies, and they have helped me immensely.

Now it's Project+ for the next week and a half so I can finally be done with that class...

    Can you elaborate heavy on this and also what sims you recommend for someone doing Cisco IV class now(covered Inro and PPP so far)??

    Talking about sims and test content is against NDA. No new CCNA wants to start off by breaking the rules.

    @Illumanati
    I recommend studying everything, as there is no way of knowing which set of questions are coming out of the test bank. I'm sure the set of questions I got is completely different from the questions you will get. If you are asking what study resources I would recommend for simulation type practice, I'd use Packet Tracer, or if you don't have that or lab gear, then purchase a few hours on the Cisco Learning Labs. WGU paid for 25 hours on the lab, and it was really really helpful for identifying areas in which I was weak when it came to configuration.
