youngest ccna?

Hey everyone, im new around here

im curious to know.. whos the youngest person with a ccna certificate you've seen? reason im curious.. is because im 16.. (17 in sept).. and a group of people i know have spent 2 years in the ccna net acad.. took the ccna.. and well, we all failed (including me with a 695

) .. highest scorer just missed 800.

for those of you that work, does your work experience/background help you out? seeing as i had absoultely none.. might have put me at a disadvantage. ( tho i have a cisco soho router to play with )

thanks

That would be my younger brother, he was 16 or 17 also...

hands-on makes a big difference, but doesn't need to be in a corporate environment. You can build your own lab (2 routers, one switch) or get the required 'experience' from a router simulator.

perhaps you want to take a look at the new option Cisco offers for the CCNA exam... taking two exams instead of one. It's for the 'less experienced' students....

so us young'ins arent alone after all.. very cool.

my father raised many of eyebrows when it got around that his daughter was out to tackle the ccna.. actually good came out of it.. his boss helped me with subnetting \o/

Does your father work in the IT industry?
