| Hi, I passed the CCNA exam today with 974/1000.
I think I missed two questions, one of them because I stupidly read the question and answered too quickly without fully reading all the choices.
Thanks to all the great people who left great, informative, helpful posts in here.
If anyone wants to know what I read, just let me know and I'll jot it down on here.
Thanks again,
Katama | |

| What materials did you use to prep for this exam?
Congrads also! | |
| katama77 2002-08-17, 6:50 pm |
| I used the Cisco Press 640-607 Certification Guide by Wendell Odom which I read twice.
I also used the RouterSim 3.1 CCNA Simulator. I am pretty sure that any router simulator will work fine, just make sure you practice about 15-20 hrs on it.
Finally, I took just about every practice exam available on the Web.
I would say about 80% of my knowledge came from the Cisco Press book, about 10% from the routersim and about 10% from the Web practice exams. Just search for them.
Also, when I was in school I read Inside TCP/IP by Karanjit Siyan but that goes way, way beyond what you need for the CCNA.
Good luck!
PS- I only read the first 11 chapters of the Cisco Press book. The last 2 are for final prep, but I didn't feel I needed that. | |

| PS- HellaSkillz, I see that you are also studying for MSCE. If you wanna really crush the CCNA exam, make it your only focus.
A blind, handicapped, drunk orangutang with its arms chopped off could pass most of the MSCE exams on a week of study, so focus on Cisco for now and then go back to the Microsoft stuff. I think you'll find that after passing a Cisco exam the MSCE material will be like reading a children's book.
Good luck! | |

| Congrat on the passing of the CCNA, I recertified myself last week too, I scored 987 and missed a question the way like you did, after I click on next, I realized that that may not be the right answer...
However, I would not say that MCSE exams are child's book... When I first got my CCNA exam three years ago, I already had serveral MS exams under my belt, that made CCNA exam alot easier especially after you have the MS TCP/IP exam...
People are all so scared of the router simulation, but the truth is that it is only a 90 minutes exam and about 60 questions. It is not going to be that hard and complex! If you can change/assign passwords, configure IP and, RIPs... you are pretty much golden... | |

| lol ...ya I know I just hadn't updated my profile yet to CCNA first...I was gona get MCSA 1st, but I changed my mined and I'm working on CCNA now. It's cool because I just passed the Network+ exam last week so it'a all fresh in my head and it's seams to be a good foot stool for CCNA. | |

| great job katama, yeah, it seems everything goes hand-in-hand sometimes, like you can use you cisco knowledge of IP on the microsoft exams or you can use microsoft theory on some ccna questions too,,
a neverending trail.. haha
and hellaskillz in my academy cisco book the second to the last chapter is a Network+ review chapter, haha,, seems Cisco thinks Net+ is a good stepping stool too...
good luck guy's | |

| well done indeed, what a score.
It is interesting that yet again people are saying that the CCNA is harder than Microsoft exams | |

| It also took me about 8 months to get MCSE+I. The BS thing with MS is you need to learn "the MS answer". It is not always the correct answer. Remember, everything MS has is stolen and bastardized from every other company that came before it. It was a riot arguing with some MS employed teachers about where their technology came from! Hell, look at the new Novell----whoops----Active Directory in Windows 2K.
At least the CCNA is real info, not too much proprietary "Mine is Better than Yours", like the MS program.
Just my dimes worth (damn inflation)

| Ya.. you just missed 2 questions fell short to reach 1000! Anyway a pass is a pass. Congrats! | |
| iceman2001 2002-08-21, 3:52 am |
| I agree MS take good ideas and makes them there own.I'm gonna through the CCNA stuff and I agree it is more unique.But then again majority of comopanies work in a MS environment and you just can't ignore the stuff simply because one is better than the other.
