Failed ICND2 today...but with a caveat...

So I've been preparing for past month and half or so for the ICND2 but between a starting a new job and hitting the ground running with some big projects for them I've found little to no time to study in the last 2 weeks. Fast forward to yesterday and like an idiot I forgot to reschedule my exam!
So here I am, still have 2 chapters to finish reading (NAT and IPv6) and I'm stuck with deciding whether to lose $150 and not go to the exam or lose $150 and take/fail the exam. So I figure, "eh, why not, it'll be like practice!" So I go to the exam, take the test and it goes...better than I thought. I actually found it fairly easier than I had expected.
Unfortunately I still failed, as I had expected. Scored a 776.
So lesson learned and motivation to pass this thing has returned. I'm traveling to a customer site all next week so I'll be rescheduling the exam for the end of June. Here's to hoping the 2nd go around is the one!

Oh man, that's crazy, sounds like something I would do. Sorry to hear it, but it will probably help you even more once you study up on the parts you didn't know. -

Sorry to hear it.
You should be able to kill it the second time.
Good luck. -

So are you stating that in comparison to the ICND1, that the ICND2 exam was less challenging than the ICND1?
