Passed CCENT!!
-
I sat for the CCENT this previous Friday and passed with 24 minutes to spare!
I'm not a networking guy and have had very little real life exposure to Cisco equipment (I'm hoping to change that :)). Here's what I did to prepare in case there are others in my position.
I watched the CCENT course here all the way through from start to finish and made sure to watch some every day until I was done. I use a program called MySpeed and upped the playback to 1.8x. Don and Ronnie sound stoned now at normal playback speed.
I created a free account at subnetting.net and practiced the subnetting questions for probably a total of 5 - 7 hours, again making sure to do at least a few everyday.
After going through the measureup.com practice exam a few times I went back and re-watched the entire course again. This time I paused and took notes and made sure to write down every command that Don and Ronnie used.
After reading tons of positive reviews I purchased the practice exam from boson.com. I ran through the randomized practice exams multiple times, reviewing and taking notes on the questions I got wrong. ITPro.tv and Boson would be a match made in heaven :)
The best advice I can give is study OSPF and its various show commands and practice subnetting until you can do it in your sleep.
Thanks to Don, Ronnie, and everyone behind the scenes!

William,
This is a great accomplishment and thanks for your sharing your study habits that made you a success! I believe this will greatly benefit your fellow ITProTV members who are not exactly sure about how to prepare! Thank you for sharing this here!
Cordially,

Make sure you BEAT the timeout on your measure-up simulator by at least 15 minutes. The 120 minutes for the 50 questions goes by SUPER FAST. No Kidding - SUPER FAST. If you want to pass - You need to be FLASH GORDON on the exam.
I'm heading to BOSON now to check them out. Thanks for the Tip!
