 after 3 years, I did it. CCNA
I'm happy to say that after joining this board 3 years ago. I did it. I passed the CCNA this morning with a 911, 1st attempt.
I don't know why I put it off for so long, but not having a job gives you a lot of free time. I do know that I was getting poor getting all the latest editions of Sybex. I think I own three. And with the new test coming up, I did't want to shell out more money.
This board has been a great resource.
Thanks everyone.
I used Sybex, and Boson. I bought the Boson tests to get a feel for how the router sims were, and I think the Boson tests oversimplified the sims. I ended up with 3 sims, none of them had me do password changes, or hostname changes like Boson.
On one sim I nearly got up and walked out of the test because of my frustration. I messed up on it, and had to re-config. But the damn thing would not let me make any changes.
I can't get into more details than that, But I wasted 20 minutes trying to get it to work. I ended up cutting my losses and trucked on. I was pretty scared cause I wasted so much time on it.
Being laid off I have been playing a lot of golf, and from golf I learned that if you triple bogey on a hole you can still end up with a good game. Finish strong.
Subnetting was a huge part of my test. It seemed like on all of my questions, they worked some kind of subnet question in there.
Good luck.

After this slump, everyone in the bay area will have a v.nice handicap.
I took off early today and went to the range at SJ Muni and gee... it was about 70% full.

I hear that. I'm finally getting my wicked slice under control. I used to live off that SJ Muni course. After the downturn, I had to move cause $1600 for a 700 sq ft 1 bedroom, was killing me.
I picked up the all you can golf mon-fri. at Sunnyvale, Sunken gardens for 65 bones. As cheap as golf gets.

Re: after 3 years, I did it. CCNA
Phatwookie,
Excellent, Whoa!
1 month or 5 month or 3 years you are CCNA.
CCNA certifications are valid for three years
You have now another 3 years for CCNA 640-801 or one exam of the Professional or Cisco Qualified Specialist level.
CCNA and a Porche score 911.!
