First attempt failed by a few points, second attempt solid passed.

Best advice I can give is try to pass it on the first try. It seem like the second try was harder. Probably because anxiety icon_smile.gif

What helped me pass
1)Cisco Net academy(200icon_cool.gif Curtsey of last Bachelors of Science Degree earned. Re-read all of Cisco Exploration. Taking notes using Microsoft OneNote. Towards the last 2 chapters of Cisco Exploration decided to take exam in 2 parts.

2)Purchased Cisco press Official Cert guide 3rd edition ICND1. I love how the test objectives are shown at the end of each unit. This helped tremendously when I failed the ICNd1 the first time icon_sad.gif. I quickly study exactly where I was week in. Then studied all exam objectives. Took the exam 1 week later.
3)IT Pearson Test Simulator challenged me with the exhibits Questions and Multiple choice. The official Cisco exam questions were easier then the Pearson simulator. Only thing I didn't like about the Pearson Test simulator is that it didn't have simulations like Net academy, and it didn't tell you how many choices to choose when it came to a Multiple choice question.

4) Packet Tracer . helped greatly with simulations. It officially comes with the Net Academy. However it can be easily obtainable through the internet for free.

Now on to ICND2 icon_smile.gif
