closer

I'm getting closer to the dates. School is getting in the way of everything. It would be nice not to be in school. So I can just have the extra time to do what I need to do. I really hope I can loose some sleep so I can study what I need to study and go through what I need to go through.

I still need to go through troubleshooting and configuration with ICND2. I don't know what to expect on the test even though I have the syllabus with all the stuff I can be tested on. I think I'll do alright but I'll see what the test tells me. I know I know a lot of the information but because I don't have the up to date gear, its tough to remember configurations. Switch security, ACL, and Routing Authentication configurations are causing the trouble just because I don't have the updated IOS, Routers, and Switches. After the test I will be getting the updated gear. All I can do is practice what I can practice and memorize what I can memorize then hope not to get the most difficult questions and pray about it. I did pretty good on the ICND1 the first time even though I failed it and didn't have all the up to date gear. Mostly because of simple mistakes. This time I'll try not to make mistakes but because its a timed test and the pressure is on, it'll be difficult.

15 days

15 days until the ICND2 exam. I'm going over everything that I think I need to go over for this exam. IPv6 is still a pain but I'm understanding it more. NAT configurations is confusing at times. Frame Relay troubleshooting isn't fun. Other than that, I think I'm good. Unless I have trouble with ACL.

weeks

My progress for the ICND2 exam is going well. I'm just reviewing and doing labs and I think I won't have that many problems like I did for the ICND1 exam. Just because I think I know how the exam will go. I also know that I have to go slower on things and take my time just to make sure I do things the correct way. I think I know a lot of the material that I need to know and I feel that I can do what I need to do before I take the ICND2 exam. I think I'm going to focus more on the stuff that I don't know well. I can't wait to get this exam done with and get into IINS/CCNA: Security.


I feel the same way with the Security+ exam. I think that I'm almost ready to take the exam. I just hope I really pass this exam, even though this exam isn't as important as the ICND2 exam. I just want to get these two exams done so I can apply to jobs and actually have a chance to get a job.

SCII

StarCraft II was awsome. I just got done beating the game.

okay...

So I decided to schedule the ICND 2 exam on 30oct10 and the Security+ on 6nov10. I didn't officially schedule to take the exams yet. I pushed back the dates so I know I can have more time to study. Now I just have to keep reading the material and keep doing labs for the ICND2. I really hope I can pass on the first time. I really want the CCNA. The Security+ is something that I want but not as much. I think if I took the test now that I have a chance to pass. I have retake dates unofficially scheduled. I don't plan on failing but it's possible.

After these certifications, I'm getting the Project+ and CCNA:Security done. I have to buy gear for the CCNA:Security. I hope I can get both of them done before next school year. I've already put unofficial dates on the calendar to get them done. The Security+ exam will help with the CCNA:Security.
