ICND2: One more time

I am taking this stupid test again tomorrow. I'm not really sure how I feel about it right now. I feel really comfortable with all of the conceptual stuff, subnetting and configuration. The only thing I am worried about is whether or not I will be able to teach myself what specific output each "show" command produces in the next 10 or so hours. I am still failing practice tests by a tiny margin which is pretty much where I was when I passed CCNA Security. I am by far more comfortable with this material than I was with CCNA:S when I took it though.

For some reason I can't help but still be a billion times more nervous about this one...this is pretty much the turning point of the year for me and if I fail I won't be able to look at this stuff again until October, which means I will pretty much have to start over. The pressure is getting to me.

I know the pressure feeling all too well! Do not falter! This is your house now

. You have seen the exam so you know what to expect. From what I heard, time management and subnet subnet subnet = success! Get in the zone on game day and let nothing stop you; not even a fire alarm sounding in the building!

How did you get CCNA: S without a CCNA?

I started ICND2 last year and failed by like 40 points in December. My company is paying for it so it was decided to go ahead with CCNA:S instead of taking another stab at ICND2 to get the training material on 2009's training budget.

I guess to answer your question, technically I don't...until tomorrow

Good Luck!!

Do you get the rest of the week off to Celebrate? Technically it will be an exam pass celebration PLUS a 2 Certification celebration. Realistically the best they could hope for at work would be for you to drag in by Thursday.... maybe.

In about 4 hours I am either going to be the most excited or the most depressed human being on the face of the planet. The end is near.

Good luck!!

2 certs at once is a damn good feeling... When I did my convergence+ cert I got an Avaya IP telephony cert at the same time... Similar situation where I had passed a previous Avaya exam but needed convergence+ to get the official cert.

Downside is that I put off CCNA for about 6 months to study for that one ......

GOOD LUCK!

903/1000

Not only 2 certs in one day, but apparently some NSTISSI 4011 recognition comes with getting the CCNA and CCNA Security. I am pleased.

SUCK IT CISCO. VENGEANCE IS MINE! $$$$$$$$$
