I passed the ICND 1 exam back at the beginning of February and I wrote the ICND2 exam this morning and passed with a 916.
I went from 0 to CCNA after studying for about 2 months.
I used Packet Tracer, GNS3, and physical routers @ work.
I studied using CBT's, INE videos on Youtube <-- AWESOME! and the cisco press books.
I found the ICND2 exam easier than the ICND1 exam, however...
I started the exam feeling pretty confident, I was blazing through the questions, feeling pretty good, until...
A SIM!
EDIT: Looks like a MOD took this part out.... long story short the sim messed up.
I know I missed out on a couple points because I wasn't able to complete the SIM, and after moving on from that question I was a bit frazzled and probably missed a couple others after, luckily(?), this SIM was in the last 10 questions and a pass is a pass!
Studying for the CCNA was a lot of fun, it's something that i've wanted to do for the last couple years but haven't had a lot of time to pursue.
Next up? Upgrading my MCSE 2003 -> 2008 hoping to get that done in the next month or so
