The material was easier for me than the CCENT however it took me a lot longer than expected. As a result with 10 mins left and 11 problems to go I was faced with an Simulation problem and I knew if I completed it ( I knew how) I wouldn't have enough time to finish the test and I got teary eyed ( and I don't cry!).

But I decided to skip the simulation and finished the exam with 1 min left. I passed with an 832!!!! icon_cheers.gificon_cheers.gificon_cheers.gificon_cheers.gif

I used Odom CCNA guide books and Boson NetSim and Boson Practice tests and the motivation from reading this site to self-study everyday! Wouldn't of made it this far without the people on this site! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! Now I will be studying for the Security+
