crunk dork posted:Nah, I opened an issue and am waiting to hear back on whether they will award me a pass (doubtful) or at least give me a free voucher (possible) No he meant did your friend pass that brain dumped the test? Even if the brain dump covers the old test, if it makes the test passable maybe at this point you can just get your degree and move on from Cisco's bullshit. You clearly know the material and are being held back by exam errors, which shouldn't stop your professional growth.

No he still failed. I'm guessing the sim is worth 70-100 points, and if you only get the half that is able to be done correct that leaves you with 4-5 questions you can miss out of 64 others. Bad odds especially when you take the poor grammar on some questions into account.

Well my plan was to use the CCNP security exams to refresh my CCNP RS, but at this point I might as well just take the damned CCIE written rather than waste more time and money on a broken exam.

Wait are the CCNP security exams hosed too? I saw some people on the Cisco learning forums talking about skipping the CCNA Security and shooting for CCNP to get around the bugginess. A lot of the material seems out of scope for an associate level exam too.

Can anyone tell me about SOC reports. Mostly: -How intense are these audits? -How long do they take to be finalized. -How much do they normally cost (hundreds?, thousands?) -Is there a simplified “checklist” available that I can use to make sure we would pass before requesting an audit? Sorry if this isn't the right thread! I hope it is though!

So... gently caress everyone who wants CCNA Security and up. Neat. That was my next planned cert after CCNA R&S in a month or so. Wonder what I'll pick instead.

I really, really hope by the time the CCNA Security comes up in my WGU track it's fixed. I have to imagine they'll release a fix within three months (since nobody is passing it), and I shouldn't have to do it until late this year, but I'm a little worried Cisco will permanently gently caress this up and say it's good as it is and exam takers need to get better.

I heard back from Cisco today and they are reviewing my claims and will let me know within 7-10 days if I qualify for a free voucher. I'm going to wear those fake glasses they use in cartoons to sleep in class and write the answers on the inside of them.

If I weren't "locked down" by my degree I would've just shot from CCNA R&S to CCNP R&S. I can't say for sure but I'd assume having a single CCNP trumps having two CCNAs in a hiring manager's eyes.

WGU Students - I'm trying to estimate completion times for various courses to know how I need to budget my time (and how hard I need to bust my rear end to finish on my schedule). Courses like "Data Management Foundations" and "Data Management Applications" are pretty self-explanatory, foundations is learning and applications is doing. I imagine the applications side of things would take a week of serious work at 3 to 5 hours a day, but does the foundation side take longer? Can I expect 2 weeks as sufficient to read all the material and pass the final when I'm working on it 5 days a week?

Partly because the body of knowledge is so much greater and partly because they can meet vendor requirements or charge a higher rate from customers. Get any CCNP before you go for additional CCNAs, unless you have a legitimate reason like your degree or an employer. psydude fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Feb 25, 2016 |

Get any CCNP before you go for additional CCNAs, unless you have a legitimate reason like your degree or an employer. There's also an economical decision to make. Getting a second ccna is only $300 and can return pretty good results. Getting a ccnp is $900, takes much longer, but the return is way higher.

I got the old CCNA Security because it qualified as a DOD cert and I didn't want to take Sec+. I assume that still applies.

CCNA means you can probably tie your shoes and figure out easy subnet masks without assistance and would be someone I'd recommend to hire for a "paste the config someone else built" position. CCNP is where I usually expect to see people who I want actually touching routers for troubleshooting and building configs. Or a resume showing the experience even without the cert of course.

Got my 1V0-601, so officially I'm a VMware Certified Associate. Whoopie. Anyways, the moral of the story is that when it's time to pick the exam you want to take, make sure it's the right code. I actually wanted the 2V0-620, which is the preliminary exam for the VCP6-DCV. Booked that and passed it, so no biggie.

I think I'm going to start in on the Cisco certifications, maybe do the CCENT to get a feel for it while I try to figure out what to do next. Would it make any sense at all to try finding classes at a college or something? I'm tired of self-study and would really like to get something hands-on and with a chance to meet people in the field. So far I've just done the A+ and Net+. I was thinking of the Sec+ next just to have it, but the Cisco stuff is looking way more appealing. I already have a Bachelor's (in a mostly unrelated field of study), and am plugging away at a dull phone/email support type situation currently that is not getting me much practical experience and doesn't pay for any certs, but pays surprisingly well, so I figure I'll take advantage of that to self-fund some more learning while I figure out what I want to do specifically.

Wendell Odom's CCENT book is great and it comes with a CD full of extra goodies like labs and practice tests. Whether you decide to do self-study or take classes, get the book either way as it is the best IT textbook I have seen so far. It is well written and error-free. Can't go wrong with it.

Community colleges tend to do the CCENT as a two-semester course that does ICND1 and ICND2 as part of a CCNA program. If you don't mind paying in-state tuition for two semesters, I'd recommend it if it has a lab class that gives you actual equipment to play with.

Yow, the tuition fees I wasn't expecting, it's been a while since I was in college. Looked at a couple places that seemed promising and it would be around $1k to do their Cisco courses. It's tempting though, I so badly want to get going on something useful and have hands on experience.

If you do sign up for a course, don't forget that tuition most likely will include a voucher for an exam, so that's $200-$300 right there depending on the exam.

If anyone else wants advice on how to pass email me at my username at gmail. It's a load of horse poo poo and I'm still waiting on Cisco to get back to me. If I end up getting a voucher and it isn't tied to my candidate ID I'll sell it to someone in here at a discount.

NDA violation, reported. Seriously though, while I have a very strong interest in branching into network security, I think I'll go for CCNP R&S first after CCNA before I look at CCNA Security.
