in CCNA & CCENT
That's right I just became a certified CCNA about one hour ago.
A pass is a pass. My score was 834.
I'm a product of self-study. I've been home studying for the better part of this year. This forum has provided me more support than these words can describe. I've read that the self-study path is the hardest path to chose and you will get no argument out of me.
Anyways today I rushed through a ton of questions and ran out of time on the last one. Given more time my score would have been much better.
Over the past month I have worked through a couple of thousand practice questions. I used Boson (via the Wendell Odom's book), Transcender, MeasureUP, PrepLogic and more.
All the study material I used has been referenced throughout this forum so I'll just say I used all the usual books and training videos/simulators.
A while back I failed badly the ICND1 exam. I ran out of time with 50% of the exam unfinished. Failing that exam helped me pass today's exam. It was a right of passage. I call it the "Cisco Smack Down".
Thanks for your support and I hope I have been able to give some back.

P.S. My method of creating and/or doing Labs was to simply re-create practice test questions in my simulator. I got to where I could re-create a practice test question in a simulator as fast as I could type. This method provided me with endless labs!

Thanks Mike. Since you asked I'm taking my KLR650 (thumper) out to the Grand Canyon this Labor day weekend for some just reward two-track Canyon adventure riding with some like minded fringe riders!
After this weekend (real world) I have to do something about being a paper tiger. It is finally going to be "game on". Any tips?

I think Mike was asking what was next in terms of certificates/study.
But congrats nonetheless. -

and I answered. I need to find a job. That is what, "do something about being a paper tiger" means.
I would love to perpetually pursue certifications but that is not realistic. Once I have a job offer I will focus my certification path in that direction. -
