| Hi all, im a total newbie and i dont know anything about cisco (yet). I might sign up to a course which offer 640-810 but what i wanted to know was how difficult is this exam? I assume its like a starter exam but i am starting from scratch, material will be provided as well as practical lessions but could someone give me an idea of what it would be like.
Also what books would i need to get? Any tips or advice on that, i have seen a few things floating about on the internet, are they worth looking at or should i get the books? Whats all this about cheat sheets and how do they work?
Sorry to ask soo many newbie questions but id like to know some stuff before starting the course.
Any input would be greatly appreciated | |

| Hello,
I'm taking the course right now and I just finished the first semester (over 4). This first semester is really about TCP/IP, protocols, general things about routers, switches, IP adresses, cabling and even electricity! If you have really NO experience in IT (I mean really NO experience with networks) it would probably be a bit difficult...if you already know what IP adresses and MAC adresses are and already played with a home network, you will just need to study a bit more than in class (btw, you really should take a class, studying at home is good for some Microsoft exams, but with Cisco it's a bit harder and if you have any question, you will be able to ask your teacher (and they often have labs for you to train).
Well, I hope this helped and good luck in your certification track! |
