From zero to CCENT?

Hi Everyone,
What is a fair, or average time to go from no cisco experience to passing the CCENT? I planned on two months, but with one month left i am beginning to wonder. I feel i understand all the subject matter, but memorizing it is a bit much. (so far)

It depends on the individual's knowledge of networking. For me it was about four months I believe. Really it's not that bad. The hardest things to wrap your mind around is subnetting. Make sure you make time to practice subnetting and labbing out the scenarios provided to you by the textbook you are using to study.

Very true. Remembering IOS commands is the easy part. Sub netting quickly takes work. I made sure that I could answer any subnet question in under 2 minutes.

you can do it in 4-6 months. Depending on how many breaks you need.

That long? ICND is all about the basics of networking. I remember receiving mostly general networking questions. I would say in 2 months or less someone could get their ICND1, but the ICND2 is a completely different beast. I wake up in a cold sweat dreaming about the 816 test. Fearing I waisted 150.

When you saying it's easy it would be against to you hard. All it's depends on how you studying and how you scheduling, CCENT is not a game it's the intro CCNA is the game at all! Well Subnetting is not like hard but whole are math, All you have to do is memorizing the two to the power that's all! IOS Commands are not big intruders but when you move to CCNA bit complicated to understand,

So mostly welcome.
