in CCNA & CCENT
After the following results 799, 775 & 799... I've finally passed today with a 925. One of the big things that helped over previous attempts was picking up the Boson practice exams. It's great to get that monkey off my back.

For ICND2 I have official cert guide by Odom, Chris Byrant's videos and will definitely be purchasing Boson practice exam too. I may look at getting a second book as I want to make sure I pass the current ICND2 (640-816) before 30th September 2013.

    ICND2 is a bit harder so make sure to not treat it lightly as well. Good luck!

    First of all, congrats on the pass. That's an awesome score. I am going after the ICND2 hopefully by the end of July or early August. I have never used the Boson practice exams, but I am seriously considering doing so for this next cert. Can you provide insights to why the Boson product is such a good tool. In particular, I am interesting in finding out do they provide simulations/simlets within that resource and whats your take on those as well. Thanks

    Boson has Simulations and Simlets in addition to the usual Multiple Choice questions. This is more like the real thing from what I'm told.

    This. Sims and drag/drop are part of the Boson exam which is not what I found part of the Pearson/Trainsignal exams. I also found the format of the questions to be very similar to real exam. Money well spent imo.

    After I failed the CCNA I took a step back and decided to focus on the ICND1. I read a post on here to buy the Boson Exam and it would help me pass. I did and I saw my score go way up! I can't say it's all becuse of Boson but the program has helped me a-lot. I set for my CCENT in July and I should pass this time. !

    Congratulations!

    I always use the Boson practice exams. Sometimes the Transcender ones as well. I figure the cost of getting them is less than the cost of having to retake the exam. When you get to CCNP, the Boson TSHOOT Ex-Sim Max is a must.
