    Good luck. What other materials did you use.

    You should probably rest up for tomorrow instead of trying to push more information.

    If you don't know it now, you won't know it tomorrow.

    974 / 1000!
    its been many years since my last cert exam, so i may have made the mistake of overstudying. but either way, passed and with a much better score than i expected. quite happy.

    i didn't use much material other than the CBTNuggets. I had taken the Cisco ICND1 classes 4 or 5 years ago at the local community college, but I don't actively work in anything network related so 90% of it was forgotten. A refresher through the videos, some packet tracer, and maybe 4-5 hours scanning through the CCENT for Dummies book (yeah i know how it sounds, but the reviews for it were great).

    The randomness of the question types was interesting. Expected way more sim type stuff and actual routing/addressing type stuff. Mine was quite heavy on WAN and Switching.

    Now for a week or two off and then time to dive into ICND2!

    Good luck with ICND2. Did you use any practice exams? I have CBT nuggets and I may use the INE videos also along with Packet Tracer and the Boson Exam max software.

    thanks everyone.
    @beach, i had some pretty terrible practice exams that came with the book, but other than that just self practiced building networks in packet tracker, subnetting questions, etx

    Question for you and anyone else who has taken ICND1 lately. I'm currently have a student co-worker that I'm preparing for the ICND1. The blueprint is kind of generic and I want to make sure I'm covering all of the topics. What do you feel like the "core topics" are that are being tested on ICND1?

    Switching (port security and understanding Mac source/destination)

    Sim or lab a setup of 3+ routers. Name them, password them, address them, rip them. Practice

    NAT terms, WAN terms.

    That would be my study list after hitting broad overview of the entire track

    zartan, I did my CCENT a year or so ago, but I remember being surprised at how much stuff there was on wireless on my exam.

    sounds good, yea I'm sure Packet Tracer was a big help to you. Looks like you and I have similar study methods. I have ICND1 scheduled in February.
