I finally took the ICND2 this morning. I passed but only with a 888. I was much more nervous on this one than the ICND1. It was as tough as I thought it would be. And I used up most of the time as well. I had maybe 15-20 minutes left at the end and was dreading getting another scenario at the end. Fortunately I did not. Thanks again for all the help from this forum. I do not post much but I read every day. I read an older version of Odoms book and had the Boson sims. Now I plan on slowly studying for the CISSP but not take it until maybe end of first quarter next year. My wife says I need a break. I guess I have been stressed the last couple of days.
