So far I’ve been doing flash cards and watching videos up to day 3. I’m struggling with remembering standards of the cables (I know it will come with time) on the day 3 video about TCP/IP video I retained mostly nothing. I did the flash cards and am still struggling to understand what is going on fully. He says in the video that we will not need to memorize everything right now. Should I be watching new videos everyday or move onto a video once I get better with the flash cards? What was your strategy when your brain started hurting?

Hi all

I just wanted to share some news that I've passed my CCNA 200-301 today!

Here are my scores:

Automation and Progammability - 50%

Network Access - 90%

IP Connectivity - 60%

IP Services - 70%

Security Fundamentals - 73%

Network Fundamentals - 75%

I am still waiting on my official certificate from Cisco, but this is on my immediate preliminary print out.

Material I used:

Jeremy's IT labs, entire course.

Boson Ex-Sim.

Paid version of Gemini, used to give me practise tests and verify my notes were correct.

Posting here as I've been getting notifications from this sub for a while now. Seeing peoples experiences helped me mental map what mine could look like.

I had 6 lablets and 58 questions. 2 or 3 of those 58 were drag and drop.

Good luck to everyone currently studying!

Hi guys, October 20 — CCNA 200-301 Exam Day! 💻🌐
Wish me luck! 🙏🍀 Hoping and praying for a PASS! 🤞
#CCNA #Cisco #ExamDay

Day 13 of studying for the CCNA, goal is to be ready by mid-December, that's 10 weeks total of studying. Currently 1/3 done of Jeremy's IT Lab on youtube and.... it's a lot of information and concepts to remember and to put into practice, I'm only day 21. I use to watch 6 vids a day, now I'm watching probably 3 so I can review/rewatch what I learned.

I started to lab more and more on Boson/Packet Tracker so I can reinforce what I've watched into practice, even then, there are nuances here and there for certain commands.

Anyone has advice on how to remember these concepts? Or understand them easily? I'm putting in a good 3-4 hours of studying everyday.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently prepping for the CCNA and I’m a bit torn on how to strategize my study plan, specifically when it comes to using Boson ExSim.

For those of you who already got your certification: Did you make sure to completely master the concepts and lab configs (like OSPF, VLANs, EIGRP) in your home labs (like Packet Tracer) before you even touched the Boson exams?

Or did you start taking the exams early on and use the explanations to actually learn and master the configs as you went?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to utilize the exams so I don't waste them or take them before I'm ready. Any advice on your timeline or what worked best for you would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
Im using cisco packet tracer for study.

Hi! Ever since I started IT, I’ve been solo studying and sometimes with help.

The thing is, I do Boson and I know I have to review the incorrect ones, but how do I know if I need to review a whole topic? Is it when I constantly get the same topic questions wrong?
