Almost!!!!!

I almost had it!!! 1 point and I would have made the CCENT exam.

My score was 803/804 to pass

The break down was:

Describe the operation of data networks - 85%
Implement a small switched network - 88%
Implement an IP addressing scheme and Ip services to meet network requirements - 78%
Implement a small routed network - 56%
Explain and select the appropriate administrative task required for a WLAN - 33%
Identify security threats to a network and describe general methods to mitigate - 50%
Implement and verify WAN links - 100%

I thought I would do worse on Ip addressing. I thought I would get a high mark on routing and security.

I'll spend around three weeks of study before I retake the exam. I have exams next week so I need to focus on those.

Any advice?

James,
I did the same thing just go knock it out in 5 days. Study the weak areas.

I already mapped out the weak area's but I just want to make sure I can score way higher. I know I was weak in WLAN....

I did the same thing with the 601 for the A+ exam. I failed by 5% and I took three months to study the material again and that got me a 13% increase.

I am working on my ICND1 by Wendell Odom, so far so good. However, the subnetting part I use the method that is in this forum. I also use Jeremy's method. In addition, I just bought the Sybex CCNA by Todd Lammle. I like Sybex book, and Todd did a good job on his Net+, so I decided to get the Sybex CCNA as well. You can't go wrong with more than 1 study material.

I'm using the Odom library set 3rd edition. I've studied for over 6 months and did labs.
Try Odom library set 3rd or 7th edition. There alot of material but it helps to learn it all.

I have lamell's sybex book and I find it to be more difficult to read than the Odom(s) book that I have. I honestly don't know why. I'll scan through the sybex book but I don't feel that I helps as much as the books from Odom.

Absolutely need to work on your security and wireless. Everything else looks great so I would go ahead and work on these areas and take it again in a week or two. I usually fail my 1st attempt on Cisco exams because by time you master one area you forget stuff in an other.

803/804 that hurts me just looking at it sorry man. the best advice has already been given hit the weak areas and retake the test asap while everything's still fresh.

take care,
Sean

Trust me, I'm going to focus on those area's but I'll go over the others just so that I don't forget the material. I just want to make sure that I can pass the exam next time.

Hey thanks, I wasn't mad or anything with the score. I know exactly what question put me at that one point. I'll get it next time.
