Pushing for my CCNA - need recommendation and test update
Pushing for my CCNA - need recommendation and test update
(OP)
Hi All,
I got my CCENT cert last 2008 and would like to push through with my CCNA 1st quarter next year.
May I ask for any suggestion, recommendations or are there new ICND2 or cisco exam version? should I just review for the ICND2 or re-do the whole exam again? I have no idea on how to start again so any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
bonked

Bonked,
Unless you are working in Cisco networking why would you wait 2 years ???????
Cisco does not draw a line and say that NOTHING that you did in ICND1 will be on the ICND2 exam - some things just build on what you already know or should know, but it has been 2+ years!!
I would:
1) Go to Cisco and get the exam blueprint for the ICND2 exam so that you know what is on the exam right now!!!!!
2) Get the Sybex CCNA Study Guide by Todd Lammel - since it has been 2 years + you really should read the whole thing, if you learned it well in 2008 then that material will just be review. YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW IT ALL IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO WORK IN THIS AREA !!!!!
3) get TONS of HANDS ON practice with 3 Cisco routers and 2 switches, at the very least use an emulator or a very good sim like Packet Tracer that is used in the Cisco Network Academies
4) TAKE THE EXAM - STOP PUTTING IT OFF !!!!!!
Hope this helps !!!

Books, flash cards, and maybe some packet tracer labs is enough to prepare for those two exams. For anything beyond CCNA I'd suggest GNS3 for routing labs, Packet Tracer for most switching labs, and yes of course the books - those exams are mostly theoretical and the books are usually quite good at getting your networking theory to where it needs to be. Since I'm saying that out of first-hand experience, if you still don't believe it is possible then I don't know what to tell you.
Also, Quadratic is a math-related account name, not a water-related account name so I'm not sure what pun is there.
