I passed it. Seemed pretty easy to me. There were a couple questions that I had absolutely no clue and never had seen any mentioned but questions were good overall.

Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man. -

Practice Test:
https://www.subnetting.net/Subnetting.aspx?mode=practice (5 dollars of month)
Subnetting practice
https://www.subnetting.net/Subnetting.aspx?mode=practice (free)
Video Training
CBT nuggets has video for the newest version exam (very good)
https://www.subnetting.net/Subnetting.aspx?mode=practice (5 dollars a month.) I tried watching a few of these but was bored with it. I was already near end of study so that might be why. It didn't seam nearly as good as CBTnuggets.
I noticed there are some Youtube channels with training but I never tried it but might be worth some time looking into that.
Book material:
Cisco Press Wendall Odom (seemed to covered everything that I had seen in the exam.) I binged watched all CBT nugget videos first which made it easier first me to grasp the reading material which covers all the nitty gritty. Then reading all chapters in the book. I used MS onenote to copy all the key topics, key terms, and commands for later review. I would provide the Onenote file but it has word for word content from the book and would likely against the rules.
Labs:
I used packet tracer mostly (90%) with some gsn3 (10%).
CBT nuggets gives you some labs.
Some labs here: Index of /Download
More labs here: Packet Tracer 6.2 & 7.0 labs - Packet Tracer Network
This link points to more labs: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/4933
Also someone gave me some pdf labs objectives from Cisco Network Academy. Not sure if I would be allowed to distribute them or not. The footer of each page says © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public.
And mostly I just build my own networks in PT. Some had just one topic. Some labs I created and multiple topics mixed in. For example I had ROAS with dhcp pools, port security, ACLs, and used NAT to connect to a web page on a public server.
Just make different senarios and when something does work right you spend half an hour trying to figure out what the hell is wrong which is invaluable. -

The questions you had no idea about could've been their planted questions to test new questions or as a benchmark for the exam. -

Sooo, you do know that exam-labs.com is a test **** site right? I mean, feel proud of yourself for all of the hard work you did put in, but passing when you had access to actual tests isn't something I'd brag about...

I do not condone to using such practice test. I can assure that I have over studied for the exam and the content well. I will use no such practice exams. Earlier I found a site that could possibly detect such a site. I will post it here for reference if in case someone else is interested. http://www.certguard.com/

The test was updated not too long ago. It is possible the questions on that site might be from the previous version of the ICND1 exam. -

I wasn't aware but honestly I don't recall seeing any questions from the exam that were copied on that site. Hell, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. I may take another look out of curiosity.
No! You've already admitted to using a brain **** site. Stop going back! Distance yourself from this site. I commend you for putting in the hard work (if you really did put in the work), but your hard work seems less impressive considering that you used a brain **** site. Even if you didn't see any of the questions from the site on the test, that doesn't change the fact that you used a brain **** site. For future tests, be sure to verify the sites and practice tests that you are using. It would be a shame to see you put in all of that hard work and effort only to have your certification revoked. Anyways, Congrats on passing! -

there is no legit **** for the latest CCENT/CCNA. they are all from the old exam so cut the guy a break he earned his cert, the only thing he did was study a **** from an old exam version without knowing better.

I am cutting him a break. I did congratulate him for passing didn't I? I also told him to make sure that the sites/ practice tests that he used in the future were legitimate. In regards to there being no **** for the latest CCENT/CCNA, do you honestly believe that Cisco would care about whether the **** was recent or not? "Oh you used a **** site/practice test for a previous version of the exam, you're good to go." Doesn't sound realistic does it.
I truly believe that he was telling the truth that none of the questions that he saw on the **** were on the test and that he passed due to hard work and study. I also believe that he didn't know that it was a ****.
However, what I do have a problem with is him going back to the **** site after being told that it is a **** site. Why risk all of his hard work by going back? He hasn't passed the ICND2 yet, but by the time that he is ready to take it, the **** should be updated. Best to stay far away from that site, because like I said, I would hate to see anyone lose their certification and be barred from Cisco certs because of a silly mistake.
