30 Days to a CCNA

Hello Everyone,

This thread’s purpose is to document my studying habits in my 30 day sprint to a CCNA.

Here, I plan to post the resources and methods I use during my journey, gain insight and advice from the community, keep myself motivated with progress updates and hopefully inspire others on their path to their CCNA.

The plan is to study at LEAST a solid 3 hours daily using the materials listed below (Updates Regularly)

Resources:
-Books
SYBEX CCNA Study Guide by Todd Lammle (The book is 14 chapters, I plan on averaging at least 3 chapters a week.)

If anyone has any tips or support please post a response I am eager to be instructed.

The date I have set for set for testing is February 2nd 2011

Let the adventure begin!!

I'm trying something similar to the OP, with the intent of taking the exam on the 17th (don't have many vacation hours saved-- 17th is MLK Holiday and no test centers open on the weekend).

My current training regimen consists of:
Packet Tracer 5.3
GNS3
PrepLogic Audio Lecture
Todd Lammel's 640-802 Videos
Train Signal Videos
Sybex CCNA Study Guide 6th Edition

I listen to the audio lecture when I'm on my way to work and working out. I plan on reading 2-3 chapters a night from the sybex book (currently midway through Chapter 3), and watching videos for a refresher.

I have some Cisco experience and I'm familiar with the CLI and equipment. Oh and i guess I'm shooting for the 17th because I went chasing after the CompTIA trifecta and nailed all 3, 3 weeks apart. CCNA won't be easy, but this ones got me hyped!!

I'm curious, how do you like the PrepLogic Audio Lecture? I was thinking of picking this up to be a part of my CCNA study regiment...

ehnde

How is the studying going Joe? Time is running out for both of us until exam day

I don't know if it's been thwarted, but this thread seems to have turned into a street corner where everyone wants to hang out.

Don't make me say, "Shouldn't you kids be home studying?"

I'll say it you won't

A 30 day CCNA might be possible but all that cramming will do you no good if you don't follow it up with a job where you can get real life experience.

OK, I'm done. My feeble old fingers hurt from too much typing
