preparing for 2nd shot

juscallmeberto

hey all, I'm currently regrouping in order to resit CCNA which i failed badly about 2 weeks ago, got a 700. Anyways i think i might have underestimated this exam ... and i didn't manage my time properly, I also skipped the simulator exam about OSPF that i got. I think i was prepared but i think this exam really wants you to really know the stuff and not just have a "good idea". I also notice that attention must be paid to detail.
Anyways i am at it again, found some new material and will be spending alot more time with my router sim. I am sure someone might have posted a similar post but i am basically asking for any kind of advice on this.
I noticed Todd Lammle's books are a favorite here and also material from Cisco. *I have the 4th edition from Mr. Lammle and the *INTRO and ICND books by Wendell Odom from Cisco press. I'll be using RouterSim for practicals..
Does that sound like a solid enough toolkit. I would appreciate any recommendations or study tips. I know most of the material however i am going over everything ... I was also looking online for maybe a study guide arranged in topics. example . IOS, OSI model, Layer2 switching .....

as i said, any feedback is welcomed. Thanks.

Berto.

I would suggest you to go for Boson netsim since its more robust than any other network simulators.

The material you have should be enough,my advice is to read sybex first and when u need more detail move to cisco press.Dont foget to study nat as its not covered well in sybex.Routersim should be enough for CCNA but thats all.
Good luck!
