Is there anyone in here that doesn't have networking experience, that passed the CCNA the first time around? I am using Boson and have the CCNA certification guide book and CD, but I have heard the exam is really tough. A guy in our class who has networking experience failed it the first time. Im a little worried about myself failing it...

I have taken the exam twice(and passed the second time around), although having no networking experience with routers or switches whatsoever, I just failed the first time by scoring 847 rather than the required 849\1000.

The exam was not extremely difficult. I expected a lot worse to be honest. I made a stupid mistake and that cost me first time around, but if you have revised as much simulations and questions as you can get your hands on, you'll only know if you have enough knowledge by taking the test!!!

Good Luck!!!

It's worth it in the end...persevere!

Dont Worry about Failing!!

I had no Network Experience and Passed the Exam the First Time Around.
Although I took the Comptai Network+ exam prior to CCNA to become more familiar with Networking concepts like OSI Model, Routers, Switches, HUBS, ethernet Token Ring etc

So when I started preparing for CCNA I was some what familiar with the Basic Concepts

You dont necessary have to go that Route but you will need a little more time to prepare if you are not familiar with those Concepts before you start learn CCNA concepts
Cisco assume you know some basic Network concepts like what a router is, switch, hub ETC....

You can Do it just Take your time and Prepare!
