Passed 801 today with 974

Hi all



Passed today after 2 years of Cisco Networking Academy.



Used mainly the online material and CCNA companion guides (yes they are hard going but very complete.....and full of mistakes).



Bought a couple of 1600's off eBay right at the start, with serial interfaces and a back to back cable. I spent many hours just plugging in config's til they became second nature. Definitely helped a lot in the exam, along with learning how to do subnetting. Lots of subnetting, more subnetting and VLSM.



Also played with a couple of simulators mainly to get experience of the feel of them for the exam, but found them very limited in function.



And finally, spend the last 8 moths or so lurking in this group picking up tips so thanks to everyone, if you're still here. Things seem a little quiet these days.



Congratulations! Your hard work definitely paid off.

Let your Networking Academy instructor know your result - as an instructor I know that that sort of feedback helps us convince academy managers as to the effectiveness of the program.

Also if you haven't already done so register with the Academy Alumni - log in once year to keep your account active and you'll continue to have access to all the curriculum which will help with your own professional development and future re-certs.

And finally, and I guess you've already realised this, this is not the end, the CCNA is only the beginning!

My instructor was the first to know that I'd passed, although I didn't tell her I was sitting the test.

Thanks for the advice. At the moment I'm just glad to have got through it, so not really thinking about what next. I'm going to have a good break first whatever.
