in CCNA & CCENT
Passed the ICND2 exam this morning and earned my CCNA. Wasn't overly happy with my score (888/1000) but i know that i made a few silly errors just as i clicked 'next'.

But now to move on to revision for CCNA Security (booked exam for 4 weeks time) and CCNA Voice then CCNP :)icon_study.gif

    Congrats! How was the exam relative to your expectations? I recall the ICND1 being much easier than I anticipated, wondering if this is the case with ICND2 as well?

    I found both the ICND 1 and 2 exams to be slightly easier than I had expected. I studied for the exams thinking that they were very difficult and as such a developed a good base knowledge for the exams. My 'on-the-job' experience got me over the line for the ICND2 exam .

    Did you find either exam to be obfuscating, or were they both pretty straightforward with more emphasis on making sure the candidate knows the material?

    Congrats!
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    Congratulations!
    Good luck on CCNA Security. 4 weeks is going to be tough. I think I spent at least 3 months working on that one.
    Good Luck.

    Z3.. I didnt find it to be too obfuscated, although there were a few questions in ICND2 that had odd wording that made me re-think a few times. I wouldn't say there were any that were there to trip the test-taker up, but i've said to some others that its important to read the question fully at least twice just to be sure.

    I don't want to say too much due to the NDA etc. but certainly understanding the core topics and the ability to gather information about a network are aspects one should be pretty cognisant in prior to attempting the exams.

    Good Luck.

    SharkDiver:

    Yeah, 4 weeks will be tough but i'm confident and usually a pretty quick learner. I'm using the Cisco Press book, the reference guide and the Cisco Networking Academy v1.1 lab manual as well as 'on-the-job' experience to get me across the line.
