Passed ROUTE!

Passed route today. Scored in the 800's thought for sure I would be in the 900's based on my answers but a pass is a pass.

I took the Route course through Global Knowledge and also uses CBTNuggets, OCG, GNS for the labs and Cisco labs that came with the Global Knowledge course.

I thought the exam was the toughest I've taken to date, that being said it was fair.

Onto Switch now. My Digi CM32 came in the mail today which was perfect timing. Time to start reading,watching and labing

    Good job! If you were anywhere near as nervous as I was when I took that exam, you must be very relieved.

    Thanks everyone!

    The plan is to finish Switch by end of December and then have all of January to prepare for TSHOOT.

    I've been working on Route for 2 hard months, and I have a pretty solid grasp on Switching, so I'm hoping I can get in under the wire. If not I'm not to worried.

    I did write ICND2 the last week the old exams were open, I'm sensing a pattern :)

    Congrats! If you do SWITCH by the end of December, with all that knowledge still fresh - TSHOOT should be a piece of cake. Good luck!
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    Passed SWITCH today.

    I found the questions and material a bit easier than ROUTE but I thought the SIMS were a bit harder.

    Overall pretty happy. Now time to get the TSHOOT lab set up. Two down one to go!

    not yet... but I'm thinking of booking it for the 23rd.
    All depends on how my Route review goes.

    Congrats! I took the Global Knowledge ROUTE 5 day course and learned a lot. The labs were cool too.
    If it ain't broke don't fix it.
    If it is broke, did you try to fix it?
