in CCNA & CCENT
Scored an 862, very happy. Some tricky questions.
I used Boson Netsim / Exam Sim - Netsim was O.K, could have been alot better but was great to provide already predefined lab sims.
Boson Exam Sim was great, I would recommend it 100% to prepare you to get into that test mode, and than study the terms you do not know.
CBT Nuggets - Excellent videos rewatched these before test.
Odom ICND1 - Too dry. TMI, I thought. I made notes on entire book, and barely glanced back at them.
An old Lammle Edition - Great to fill in blanks from Odom.
Forum help was superb, thanks.
For ICND2, what material is recommended?
Odom was so dry, I am pretty sure I want to avoid that. Plus the exam sims from Pearson Vue were downright horrible.
I am definately watching CBTNuggets ICND2, purchasing Boson Exam Sim for ICND2, and most likely purchasing the Net Sim for ICND2.
For reading material you think Lammles book would be fine?
Thanks!

Congrats!
I always recommend the Odom books. Though they may be dry, they are full of all the details you need to know. No skimping for the purpose of enjoyability!An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Congratulations matey!
I stuck with Odom's books. There's no such thing as "TMI" - the knowledge is better than the pass. They are a little dry but if you read and take notes, even if you don't read them back, it's going in.
FWIW, I take notes about everything I read - I never ever read them again. I just find if I write something down, I remember it.Current objective: CCNA Security

Congrats!Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
