I've just completed the voucher exam in CCNA 4 and got 85%, giving me 52% off the final exam. But when I look though the course material there seems to be lots of stuff I need to learn! My tutor said a good score in the voucher exam means your in good shape for the final exam.

Do you think I'm being too picky when looking through the course material?

Flopstocks, only you can really gauge your progress on this study material and tell if its time to sit the real exam. However, bear in mind if you don't have real life experience on using cisco kit then its not useful having the cert. Best wishes in your endeavours

 

If you have to ask your not ready, simple as.

 

Practice, review, practice some more, then take a test sim (Transcender, Boson) then go for it.

I passed the voucher exam a few years back. I felty nowhere near ready enough to take the real thing.

 

I got 85% in the voucher exam, which entitles me to 52% discount on the exam price

 

flopstocks,

Are you planning to take the 640-801 CCNA generation of exams? The 640-801 CCNA generation of exams are: 1) 640-821 INTRO 2) 640-811 ICND and 3) 640-801 CCNA.

 

I'm planning to take the 640-801 exam!

A lot a people say it's tough!

 

flopstocks,

When reading the "640-801 CCNA" exam outline, does any of it sound like a foreign language? If so, which sections and parts? Be honest with yourself and us.

The voucher exam is insanley easy and nothing like the real thing. The two prep tests cisco gives with the simulations and such are more closer in line with what the ccna is.

 

Not being picky, but I do hope you meant 640-802 ?

The 640-801 exam was retired 6th November and you can only take the new exam which includes new topics like IPv6, wireless, security, and dropped ISDN.

 

There is a lot of confusion about the old 640-801 exam. My Cisco tutor has clearly stated that I am able to take it for another year or so. Not sure what the 6th of November deadline is for?

 

If you are a Cisco Academy student you have until (autumn?) 2008 to still sit the 640-801 exam. For everyone else, it is not available, being replaced by 640-802.

640-801 is a difficult exam - I took it in two parts: INTRO I found quite easy, but ICND (which is close to the one-shot 640-801 exam) was really tough.

 

Thankfully, Cisco has more evenly divided the concepts between the new ICND1 (replacement to INTRO) and ICND2 (replacement to ICND) exams. So for those people who are pursuing the new two-exam CCNA option, you won't have an insanely easy and an insanely difficult exam to deal with.

 

The 6th November 2007 was the official last day you could register and take the 640-801 exam - I guess from the other replies that people on the cisco academy are treated as a special case and this deadline is extended to when they finish the 4th semester.
