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

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
