in CCNA & CCENT
I was ready to sit this mid December 09, except everywhere was booked; had to wait until mid Jan (too long). Failed mid Jan with 791 and barely passed today with 828. 2 weeks between retakes? Knowledge becomes rusty and not enough time to review everything.
One of the sims really wiped me out and I ended up forgetting a few of the absolute basic commands. I still rushed it and ended up with 13 minutes to spare. I was drained at the end.
IMO I don't believe time management to be a big issue with this one. Many will disagree, but I reckon as long as you know your stuff, you can get through this one without too much pressure (unlike me).
Here's the big question though: the score is based on a scale of 300 to 1000 points. Does that mean I get 300 just for showing up and my score of 828 is really only about 75%?

Aw nuts, Still I know now to take Cisco more seriously than I did with MS. I reckon I'll blitz ICND2.
Beginning of the end, Forsaken. Hopefully this helps in the step upwards that I've been trying to get. -

Trust me, when it comes to Cisco learning, there's no end. Not if you want to actually be a netengy -

Okay so if I understand correctly a pass is really just getting about 70% of the questions right? -

True, but right now I can't choose the work given to me. All I can do is decide what to learn on my own merit.
But yes, onto ICND2! -

Congrats on the pass! Trust me if you get sucked in there isn't an end. I thought I was going to stop at CCNA. Been studying since I passed CCNA, passed BCMSN, now I'm on my second attempt toward the BSCI. I said that I was going to stop after that but have plans to probably study and eventually move toward CCIE. -

If they "barely passed" then the passing percent probably isn't much lower that there 75%. The Old 640-801 CCNA worked out to needing about 79% to pass.Okay so if I understand correctly a pass is really just getting about 70% of the questions right?:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set!
