I dint get thru ICND1

Hi,its been almost 1 and half month dedicated studying, and after having postponed twice ( when i felt that i was not ready ) that i wrote this exam..

I got a 799..and the passing mark was 804..i am heart broken..and feeling very terrible,,i lost points in Subnetting-57 and security 50.remaining everything,i got a above 70....

I have scheduled my exam next week ..But the problem i am facing is: I cant concentrate on studies..i dont know wat to do..any suggestions or any prep tips pls share it with me.. i need it desperately.. i have to definitely Clear my ICND1 next time for sure.

Or if u have any motivational videos/quotes which will help me overcome my failure and give my best shot for the next attempt, i wil be grateful..

Thnks

He's got this, 799 is good for a first attempt

I know you're trying to provide positive encouragement, but on this test there is no such thing as a 'good try'.
You've got to review what you know as well as spend extra time on what you don't know.

Sorry for the late reply-- i was sleeping for almost a day and half..and when i got up-i was partying

..

hey all ..thanks and i appreciate each and every one of u .. i am very happy that i cleared my exams-- i had a 1 and half week gap in b.w the 1st and 2nd exam..

For the 2nd exam : I went thru the trainsignal bryant advan series again ( i did last time as well-but this time - i took notes -i wrote on a paper ) - i think writing on paper is very good..as i m able to retain it for a very very long time.. and since i write in my own words- i tend to understand it better

I went thru Jeremy CBT nuggets again ( i feel bryant videos has much more content than jeremy's video---but to start off i would advise everyone to go with jeremy--as its very light--and his jokes in b/w makes it worth while to watch and continue watchin it. In short- he makes it sound COOL ..

I went thru cisco press,exam cram book,few videos/labs on CLN..worked out the commands on the packet tracer and last but not the least the notes over here..and the positive posts on my thread -which made me carry on ..without losing hope.

I am happy to announce my results .I got "991" in my exam..

BIG THANKS TO ALL OF U HERE--Without the postive encouragements/tips over here from all over here-it would have been difficult to get a gr8 score.

thank u again.--I have booked my ICND2 on the 25th Oct-- Any tips on how to start off

991, what a fantastic score!!! Thrashed that exam. Good luck with icnd2. Go watch cbt nuggets for your intro into the new topics

@Oli 356-Thanks mate--

..yup on Jeremy's First video now.. I want to start light.. I think i wil watch Jeremy's Whole series first and then move on to bryant..

Or is it better to one one video of Jeremy and one video of bryant..and the book side by side..any ideas.. if any other book wil help?

You are wrong and the OP just proved it by destroying the test on his 2nd attempt. If you get a 799 score, that is good and reasoning for failure could be basic nerves or brain fart.

991 is awesome OP. Good job! ICND2 up next....

You came really close to passing. Just reschedule for a few weeks out and go over your weak areas. I'm sure you'll pass next time. Good luck!

4_lom, he already retook and passed the exam with an excellent score.

Just read thru the entire forum. CONGRATS on the pass man!
You need to update your certs on your profile now.:D

For last min tips on the ICND2 you probably should have posted a new thread tho, instead of piggybacking on your old one. Glad it didn't matter too much tho.

What are your plans for moving forward now? Switching jobs? Raise? Another cert?

Well done!
