I actually failed the 640-801 for the second time today. Obviously I
am not happy about it, but I need to start getting ready for the next
test. Any advise in preparing, ie certain books or sims.
Thanks

Yo man. I suggest SYBEX Books and putting time on your reading,
because before i took this exam i prepared atleast 1month and
15days, Try this for 1week dont do anything else just concentrate on
you CCNA cert. Because its going to payoff. And google some free
labs and braindumps it helps a lot

John, you're Scottish, right? Did you sit the exam in a university? I only
ask because I noticed this name yesterday when I sat mine...

Ignore what everybody else says - I've just completed an honours degree in
the computing science area. To pass the Cisco exam if you are actually
capable of getting a job in networking you need a combination of~:

1) Studying the online Cisco net-academy material for at least a few months
2) Use past test answers, such as 'pass4sure'. You *must* know how an answer
is derived, 'learning' brain-dumps is a disgusting way of passing the CCNA,
so don't do it. If you do use the questions wisely I'd recommend it.
3) The new exam's not much different, in some respects easier. I mean come
on, "What speed is an 802.11b LAN capable of?" - 11Mbps, not exactly hard if
you're in touch wiht current technology networking trends.

Good luck for next time - don't rush to sit the exam again, it's 105 quid,
so take your time.

Regards.

Pass4sure is nothing but stolen answers to reals tests.
Zero kudos for using that product, sorry.

I think a style of question which would be asked can be useful. I'm not
suggesting that one learns off by heart real test answers, but instead
takes, for example, a singular frame relay question to understand the level
of detail in a question.

I do agree these products are very 'bad' morally, I do understand however
why some people use them. At university you would be given 'past papers' to
show example questions, without answers. I think not knowing the answer to
sample questions is generally good for aiding in learning material in the
correct manner for passing an exam. I don't however condone these useless
CCNAers out there who don't know their arse from their elbow; which to be
honest sounds like many people in this group.
