WGU CCENT/CCNA Material?

mataimatai Member Posts: 232 ■■■□□□□□□□
Seems like there are a lot of WGU students on these forums. I'm doing the IT Security program. I'll be starting CCENT this Friday then CCNA immediately after that and the CCNA Security.

My question is, did you find the WGU material adequate for the exams, or did you need to supplement it at all?

Do you have any suggestions for what worked best for you?

Thanks!

    I liked the simulator they had but I found the rest to be inadequate. I picked up Wendell Odom's books and studied them for a few months. That ended up getting me over the finish line

    I haven't used any of WGUs study materials for any exam.
    I just lie to the counselor and say I do them so he'll refer me.
    I use all my own materials and WGU pays for the exam =)

    I did look over the ICND1 stuff and it does comes with CBT Nuggets so that should be good to use.

    They include Odom's books now. CBT Nuggets is a decent primer, with Odom's books really solidifying everything. I also really like the simulator because there are good objectives to complete that really help to memorize commands. Overall, I don't think you would need anything else.
