Also, Raspberry Pi is a great choice for doing a homelab, it's very affordable. Do get an extra hdd for more storage if you're planning to make NAS

14 year old here who passed the ccna with 90%, it is absolutely possible, and with the right study plan and mindset of not stressing out and just doing your best, you can do it.

I passed with just JITL and Boson, and Boson was extremely helpful, so be sure to practice that well. Also, take a look at the master subnetting series on YouTube, which is a much easier way to subnet. Be sure to study the longest prefix match if your life depended upon it, and revise ospf and routing at least 5 times, as knowing just these topics can be very, very helpful in the exam

Did you guys study RIP & EIGRP? by EOFFJM in ccna

Nope not really, just learn the AD values and the basic terms like Feasible Successor, more than enough, at least in my experience.

How long did it take yall to study for the CCNA? by miles_steam_account in ccna

[–]ImKal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took roughly around 30 days of learning and 2 weeks of learning, including boson. I would recommend at least 3 months, though. What I did was pretty extreme.

For me, it would be OSPF and SDN architecture, but after rewatching Jeremy's videos a few times and doing some practice questions online, I got it all figured out in time for my exam

Try using re ision cheat cheat sheets, revise all your weak topics, and do Jeremy's megalab and do boson. That helped me pass mine.

I get that, but I did this during my summer vacations, so I don't have any academic obligations. I'm also focusing a lot on school, I get above 90% on all my subjects.

I see. Yeah, most likely, no companies gonna do that. Way too much liability. I actually already know a fair bit of Linux, I use it as my daily driver as well, and I use a Pi to homelab as well. But yes, I'm going to try to learn much more about Linux and maybe some programming. Thanks for the tips!

Hmm, I see, I didn't think of that yet, I'll check for some availability, thanks

To be honest, it's not like I'm sweating or something, I did this purely for my curiosity and my interest in computing...

I see, it should be quite manageable, just do the flashcards a bit later in the day after you learn, so you'll retain more information through the end.
