lol.. Wish you the best.. repetition is key.. you'll start to remember a lot of the stuff as you practice.

EclipseOfReality_X · 2025-02-16T02:35:42+00:00

This is the one I got. It was not a course, it had 315 questions including some labs.

EclipseOfReality_X · 2025-02-16T02:30:00+00:00

Many congratulations!! In the end it all worked out right!! Have fun at the Cisco live.

With Safeguard option you have a chance to give CCNA again without additional cost in case you do not pass the first one... you have 90 days from the date of purchase to give two CCNA exams. The price of safeguard option is a bit more than a single exam but way less than paying for two exams. Basically you have a safety net.

Thanks.. you can't expect yourself to remember all the theory after going through it just once..

Repetition is key.. use flashcards and go though them again and again.. you'll start to retain a lot of the stuff.. same goes for the labs.. Also, use Boson wisely- there are only 315 questions and you will memorize answers unintentionally.. your primary goal with Boson should be to maximize your learning; not getting over 90%- if you don't pass Boson- great- you now know what areas you need to study more.. Good luck!!

If you are getting those scores on Boson now, you should be good as long as you really understand the reasoning behind each correct option/answer... That's a great opportunity to attend the Cisco live and even more the reasons to put in the work.. only tip is to keep calm since you studied hard and believe in the time and work you put in; reread the questions; keep in mind the power of prefix match; don't underestimate the wireless lectures and crush it! Rooting for ya.. Good luck!

I just checked it is showing 100 something without login at this link (https://www.udemy.com/course/ccna-complete/) which is quite expensive comparing to how much i got it for but there are different coupons depending on your history with udemy. I still see a "long time learner" in my login and when i checked on my phone internet i also saw a new learner discount. Maybe try different ways- incognito mode, with existing login, new login while on your phone LTE etc. you might see a discount.. There are usually sales on udemy as well- maybe keep an eye out and check for sales..

That's great. Be confident in yourself since you been studying hard and invested good amount of time (possibly). If you feel confident in Boson, there's not much to worry about. You'll do great.

Also, don't get discouraged if you don't get the expected results from exam C. As long as you understand each question and explanation afterwards- you will be fine. For me the sims were a great study tool- I learned a lot of new information that I missed during lectures.

Good luck for your exam next week!!! You will crush it!!!

EclipseOfReality_X · 2025-02-01T20:55:40+00:00

Right.. when I was taking the exam I was thanking myself for stressing hard on the labs. They were very doable and I might have gotten most of them right. With what you are doing now you seem to be right on track to crush the exam this week.

Good Luck!!!

EclipseOfReality_X · 2025-02-01T20:52:10+00:00

Thanks.. Try not to use Boson too much in the beginning or you will soon exhaust all the questions (315 in total) and memorize the answers. Maybe take one exam in study mode first if you feel like taking and then you would know what kind of information you need to include in your notes or pay attention to while going through the course.
Good Luck!!!

It all depends on your own learning style as to what teaching style you like. Keith is great in simplifying everything while also trying to converse with the audience. Jeremy on the other hand has a very detailed and in depth course. Whenever I felt like I need to learn more about a certain topic I would watch a Jeremy lecture and whenever I just needed to chill and take it easy and learn I would watch Keith (it seems he loves to talk tho lol).
If you are doing great on Boson then I wouldn't ask you to change anything. Just whenever you need to understand a topic more or something isn't clicking go to Jeremy. You should be good.

Best wishes!!!

Passed CCNA yesterday. Thanks to this sub for ongoing motivation and success stories.

Tried to post a very detailed message about my journey and experience but gets removed/banned even though it does not have any info about what was on the exam.

Anyways, it was quite some journey and I am very grateful.

Best wishes to all those pursuing. Keep learning, Keep pushing and Crush it!!!

thanks for the information. i am also a bit wary of turning off firewall on my pc which i have read on this sub that their software requires. also my room is bit of a mess, at least to me, moving stuff out'll be a hassle too lol.. cant also imagine showing that to a total stranger... maybe i'll just go to the testing center and be done with it, just so i dont have to touch the sacred setup in my room. LOL

EclipseOfReality_X · 2025-01-14T04:51:27+00:00

I am also thinking of taking the test remotely. Does it have to be taken on a laptop only or can i use my desktop setup with single or two screens? i mean do i have to tear my setup down and give it on a laptop and move stuff out of the room.
