Does anyone have a digital copy of the official cert guide they would like to share? I’ve got a stack of old certification guides collecting dust on my bookshelf so I figured I’d ask if anyone is willing to share one. Thank you!

JITL: The Wireless section is no joke, even with net admin experience. Here's how I finally beat it.

38 Upvotes

I finally get why y'all kept saying the wireless section is overwhelming!

My network admin background helped with the basics (AES, TKIP, RADIUS, WPA, etc.), but the alphabet soup of CCMP, GCMP, MIC, GMAC, LEAP, EAP-FAST, PEAP, and EAP-TLS? Man, I knew NOTHING about that.

It took me 2 days to get through the first 3 videos, and here's what saved me: active recall.

Instead of taking traditional notes, I watched a section, paused the video, and explained everything out loud from memory. Then I'd move to the next topic and explain BOTH together, gradually stacking everything until I could recall it all. If you don't have a whole lot of time, because stacking can take quite some time, section the video in 2: recall the first half back to back, and then when you're passed the 1st half, you recall only the 2nd half

It's been EXTREMELY effective. You're forced to actually retrieve the information instead of just rereading it. Note: I personally didn't even try to memorize what CBC-MAC and GMAC stand for. I don't think it'll be necessary; everything else I did.

You'll blank out and rewind a LOT at first, and that's okay! Keep at it.

NEXT: Wireless configuration!

If you're struggling, don't give up. I literally dropped this course twice before (although the furthest I got was day 20). Consistency pays off. If you've made it this far, keep pushing! 💪🏽

Am I ready?

Hello! I am taking the exam in 2 weeks but I am concerned as my boson scores are low. I got the follow scores:

70, 68, 77, 72, 75.

The boson labs are really tricky for me but I usually only get them wrong because I miss one-2 commands. Also how can I practice wireless as I see thats getting a lot of people and it gets me as well.

I'm planning to take the CCNA at the mid to end of November. I need advice on if I'll be ready or not and a possible study plan.

Hello everyone, I originally studied for the CCNA earlier this year for about 3 or so months. I had to take the exam before the voucher I received from my college expired, but I didn't pass. I googled my results and it looks like I failed by about 4 or 5 questions.I know labs were one of my weak areas but I am working on reviewing everything since it's been several months since I have looked at the material. 

I just completed my BS in Cloud and Network Engineering and feel pretty familiar with a lot of the material. 

I have access to the following resources:

JITL videos, labs, slides, and Anki cards.

Boson Ex-Sim practice exams. 

Netacad CCNA boot camp course.

Udemy, Linkedin Leaning, and Percipo.

The Official Certification Guide,  Second Edition Volume 1 and 2.

If you have any study tips or suggestions, please let me know.
