Long time reader, first time poster

.
I wanted to share some of my experience with the CCENT exam as I was able to pass today with an 899.
I used the following materials to prepare:
Wendell Odom's Official Cert Guide (Primary book)
Todd Lammle's CCENT Guide (Secondary book to fill in the gaps)
Boson Practice Exams
Subnettingquestions.com
I read Odom's book cover to cover, but skipped the subnetting portions as I learned from a video series on youtube by Kiel Martin, it comes in 7 parts I believe. Odom's book was very dry so it was somewhat of a tough read compared to Lammle's book.
To make sure I could subnet quickly, I did about 10-15 minutes per day of subnettingquestions.com.
I used the Boson CCENT practice exams and found them to be much more difficult than the actual exam itself.
