in CCNA & CCENT
I took and passed both the new 100-101 and 200-101 in 63 days.
Lots and lots and lots of studying
Passed first one with 947 and second one with 960
Used Wendell Odom's Official Cert Guide and CBTNuggets and youtube videos for concepts I didnt grasp. Theres a guy called Dancourses I believe and his videos are really good
Used packet tracer and GNS3 (mostly packet tracer)... used the zillions of questions on the CDs for the books as well
I have no real world IT experience but plan on continuing CISCO while getting my foot in the door with ccna cert
One of my biggest questions when I started was can i do it in 2 months (the new stuff... i know theres a ccna in 60 days with the old stuff but for me it was really shallow and no depth) so yes it can be done with effort

Congrats! But make sure to grasp the concepts and not just aim for a passing score, it's not a race.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! Do remember to review. The faster you learn, the faster you forget. Which isn't a big worry, so long as you find a job soon where you can apply what you learned or set aside daily time to review.

Good work. That was my plan as well, to knock out 640-802 before the deadline. I had scheduled my exam for the end of Aug., fully intent on studying throughout the month. I had to cancel because I'm not ready.
I got some studying done, but after working 9-10 hours a day my brain is not in the mood to absorb much.
I have Odom's books plus that 31 Days Before book. Last year I completed the 4 semester NetAcad courses, and I have Packet Tracer. The fact Cisco NetAcad took away access to the old materials is really bad on top of this deadline. I am stressing as I do not want to have to start over with the new curricula.
