    Don't over think it. If you did your studying then this will test how well you retained it.
    Skim the topics and think about what each involves.

    Good Luck!

    Good luck! I'm halfway through the Odom book and I have set December 31 as my no-later-than test date. I will be in your shoes in just a couple of weeks!

    Well..the day before my exam. I told myself "expect less and do your best" and from that point on I didn't get anxious even if i am hours away from taking the exam and voila...i got 973/1000! icon_cheers.gif However it says on the paper that I got after taking the exam that it is only the preliminary result score report. Gonna wait for the OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from CISCO before I celebrate. How long by the way before they release the official scoring???

    So how did you find it? Easier than you thought? What did you use to study and practice for it?

    If I were to rate it from 1 to 10, 10 is hardest. I'd give it 7. I would say subnetting isn't that hard for me (i practiced at www.subnetting.net). I used Jeremy Cioara and Chris Bryant's videos then for reading no books in particular like Odom and Lammle's book. My way of studying was I will watch the video and then google for topics I don't understand the most from there I can grasp the concept then watch the video again. Also used PT and GNS3. Awesome tools :)

    good Job,,
    I barely passed the CCENT. Took the test twice. I found the incd2 easier.

    Sweet, there was much confusion as to whether it was allowed or not on the threads I read. Come in handy so you don't need to know the exact, exact commands.

    Also, WOOHOO! *thumbs up*

    Yeah its an awesome feeling to get it off my shoulder, now I can unwind a bit and play some battlefield 4 before thinking of studying again for another cert..I'm planning on taking Sec+ or CCNA Sec. I'm more interested into network security :)
