in CCNA & CCENT
I passed the ICND 1 exam back at the beginning of February and I wrote the ICND2 exam this morning and passed with a 916.
I went from 0 to CCNA after studying for about 2 months.
I used Packet Tracer, GNS3, and physical routers @ work.
I studied using CBT's, INE videos on Youtube <-- AWESOME! and the cisco press books.
I found the ICND2 exam easier than the ICND1 exam, however...
I started the exam feeling pretty confident, I was blazing through the questions, feeling pretty good, until...
A SIM!
EDIT: Looks like a MOD took this part out.... long story short the sim messed up.
I know I missed out on a couple points because I wasn't able to complete the SIM, and after moving on from that question I was a bit frazzled and probably missed a couple others after, luckily(?), this SIM was in the last 10 questions and a pass is a pass!
Studying for the CCNA was a lot of fun, it's something that i've wanted to do for the last couple years but haven't had a lot of time to pursue.
Next up? Upgrading my MCSE 2003 -> 2008 hoping to get that done in the next month or so

Congrats!
I also find studying for the ICND2 much easier. I almost thought I must be missing something. But apparently you found the ICND2 exam to be easier as well.Goal 2013: CCENT (x); CCNA(x); Security+(x); ITIL Foundation ( ) -

Thanks everyone!
I'd say 3-4 hours a night 3-4 days a week between 6-9/10pm
and a good 5-8 hours Saturdays and Sundays.
I was able to use some cisco routers @ work, which didn't really help with the exam topics but more getting used to the routers & IOS -

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.
