in CCNA & CCENT
I passed the ICND earlier with a 875. It was my first attempt. Im now CCNA certified 
One of the first few questions was a connectivity simulation. It felt like I took too much time, and I started getting bugged out. My time remaining to questions remaining ratio started looking disproportionate, so I ended up rushing through some questions. I got a string of easy questions and I ended up with like 7 minutes left. Another reiteration that you need to keep cool during the test.
There isnt really any specific advice I can give other then to know the topics. Creating flash cards helped me a lot, not only to review, but to know what not to waste my time studying again. I used the Cisco Press books by Wendell Odom, the CCNA study guide flash card book (which I will be selling), a home lab consisting of 2 2500 series routers and a 2950 switch, and Wans CCNA guide at http://www.kp-lab.com/
I dont know whats next. Like I said before, I like to tailor my study to my career goals. Right now, I have two positions in mind. One is an informations system position, the other is a headend technician poistion. There are several things that could help me for those. Im sure Ill be back soon asking you guys for advice :P
Right now, Im gonna revise my resume, and get ready for my vacation next week

You deserve congratulations...
I have a question : is it really necessary to learn the commands of a 1900 series switch?
Was there any question which contained such thing? -

It's worth taking the extra time on the sims, because they are weighted sooo heavily. I'd honestly rather leave a few multiple choice unanswered or guessed at then to turn in imperfect sim results.= Marcus Drakonblayde

All the switch questions are for the 2950 series. Some apply to 1900s, but the 1900s dont have many of the commands. -
