in CCNA & CCENT
I of course waited until the very last minute to take the ICND2 portion of my CCNA - 2:00PM on September 30th. Thankfully I passed with a 916. I completed ICND1 almost 3 years ago.
Did anyone else go for the September 30th test date for ICND1, ICND2, or composite 640-8** exams?

Optionssucanushie Member Posts: 163Did mine on the 23rd.
Glad to get it done. Working on NA Security now. -
Optionskrjay Member Posts: 290I had been preparing since I passed ICND1 in March. I was studying off an on during that time. If this deadline hadn't come up, I probably would still be a few months out from sitting for the exam. It really helped kick me into gear the last couple months and I passed on the 30th.2014 Certification Goals: 70-410 [ ] CCNA:S [ ] Linux+ [ ]

I haven't received an email from Cisco with my authorization code to get in. Using the registration and validation ID doesn't return anything. I wonder how many people tested world wide on that day....sounds like they have a backlog.
I did the composite on Monday morning, my first time testing with Cisco. The place was packed!!! My friend who tested at the first available time-slot was told by the staff that they had about 75 appointments that day, almost all for CCNA.
I was close to not passing and would've been shafted as far as retaking the same exam. Looking back, I should've scheduled a few days earlier to give me another chance just in case. Like you said, that was a hail mary...barely passing on the last day, heh.
Good job all!And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high. ~Ayrton Senna

Optionsf0rgiv3n Member Posts: 598 ■■■■□□□□□□I can't believe how many people pulled the CCNA trigger before the 31st. I've been watching here as well as the reddit CCNA subthread and the number is crazy! That's JUST the ones who reported it online!
I guess everyone just needs that little bit of a motivation boost to finish it off. -

My motivation was not wanting to buy new studying materials. I bought all my books back in June/July and got sidetracked with CEH. I was planning on taking it slow until I found out that 640-802 would be retired at the end of September.And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
