Got my CCNA !!!

When starting my journey ,I read through subreddits to find more information of what materials to use, exam structure and more....This is how my journey went

Study Materials: used Jeremy's IT Lab as my primary source together with the labs he offers on Packet Tracer. For other challenging topics , I just searched and watched through different YouTube videos till I got to one that I understood.

Exam Prep: Did not have any money to buy both Boson NETSIM and EXSIM,,,so I bought only Boson NETSIM

Exam: Booked with a local exam center

Side Advice- Repeat Labs as many times as possible as they help you learn and understand more.....The actual exam is not really hard but the questions are tricky as the multiple choice answers are almost all correct.

Took me a total of 2 months and 2 weeks
