| I passed the CCNA exam with a 936 earlier today. This exam was for a renewal, so I took an abreviated study routine - over 3 days I read through Sybex's Exam Notes book a couple times (not a very good book - I found a ton of errors), then went to Cisco.com, looked up the exam objectives, and searched for papers on the topics that I wasn't comfortable with. I also read through the VLANs sections of the Networking Academy semester 7 material.
If you're getting ready for this exam I have one piece of advice - master subnetting. If I wasn't strong in this area then I probably would have run short on time. | |

| Well done, ccieTobe as I know this was a wake in the park for you. Which study text did you use sybex or different. Thanks for sharing. | |

| Congratulations on the pass.
I gathered that OSI and subnetting would be hit hard so I studied both until I was sick of them!
I only had a few OSI questions in the exam but the bottom line on this one is if you don't know subnetting inside out then you will fail this exam, it is that simple.
Feels good to pass this exam, what next? I'm doing the CCDA as the current CCNP track is finished as of August 7th.

| Thanks for the congrats. I used Sybex's Exam Notes (lots of errors), the VLAN portions of Cisco's Networking Academy Semester 7 online material and searched cisco.com for exam objectives that these two sources didn't cover adequately.
After a few days of catching up with a few projects that I was neglecting during the CCNA prep I'll move on to either BSCI or CID. I need to take both by June 30th  | |

| Good job, Matt!!!
Don't forget, if you pass the CID, it'll refresh the CCDA cert as well.

| Well Done! Good luck in your CID. | |

Thanks  Are you sure that CID by itself will do that? If so, that means that I only have to take CID by the 30th. I was thinking I had to complete the CCDP track or retake the CCDA exam for renewal. | |

| Pass with a 91.2 so im happy. Know subnetting quite a bit. Know basic commands. Simulations were pretty simplistic. I got a 67% on wan's tho so i must have missed something drastic there! It was about what i expected, but cisco 607 book a good help (detils!), believe it or not Cisco networking academy not a big help.. transcender didnt really apply. I swear i didnt see 1 question from cisco testing software or transcender.. More on switches and switch IOS than i exptected.
I think what helped me the most was having my own routers to play with. Im just glad its done.

I passed CCNA today also with 923.
I had a lot of Qs about TCP/IP subnetting and IP accesslists (about 20-25 Qs)
+ of course frame realy and ISDN
and couple of for OSI
Simulations were very crappy though - sim responses were extraordinary slow - probably because of that missed both 2 of those
But good subnetting and Accesslist skills is a MUST for CCNA |
