Just Scheduled CCENT for Saturday morning 4/19

Finally gonna take my CCENT exam after completing Cisco Networking Academy last October.
Been studying using:

Todd Lammle CCNA Study Guide
CBT Nuggets course
CCNA Bulldogs with Chris Bryant
Paul Browning's course
Packet Tracer practice labs from class

Hope I got everything covered and I have been studying correctly, lol. I'm just a little nervous as this will be my first Certification.

Good luck for Saturday. Sounds like you have prepared well. MY advice for last minute revision would be to spend time on Packet Tracer, make sure you know all the show commands etc. Also nail down subnetting if you haven't already.

Good Luck!

Thank you. I am going over everything that I am a little weak on. 24hrs and counting....tick tick, lol

Good luck. The first exam is always a little nerve racking.

Well, EPIC fail. There were some topics on the tests that I thought I was ready for but I wasn't. Now that I know what I am a little weak on, I will do some major studying and take it again. This is just a small stumbling block. (btw...Cisco tests are worded a little weird to me, lol)

Make sure you know the content material that you were weak on and make them a strength before your next exam. If you need to read a question 3x before answering do so, as the context of the questions should be clear before making a choice. Good luck, I am sure you got it this time!

You are not the only one that feels that way, and that is part of the reason I haven't taken the test just yet. The damn wording is weird on some question I come across.

I’m really sorry to hear about the fail. Reading your post will make me work that much harder at studying for the test.

Keep at it and good luck with the next test date.

I actually decided to take my exam in the next couple weeks even though I know I can't review for it. Mostly because I need to get a feel for the exam. I have no idea if I will pass but it's going to be a good learning experience either way. My goal is to finish my CCNA before the next semester starts in September so I'm considering my first attempt my practice test.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

A couple of questions: when said that the Cisco questions were worded weird, can you expound on that?

Also, what did you consider your weak areas?

Thanks
