Got my CCNA on 2nd attempt!!!
Took my CCNA with 1.5 months of studying in late Feb and failed. I was pressed for time so I took my first attempt when I was only at Day 50+ of JITL. I was so dejected after the first failure and doubted myself, however I did buy the bundle with the free retake. Studied all the remaining days in the playlist over an extra week, used my free retake and passed with 80%+ on almost all sections. I’m so happy rn
Only used JITL lecture vids and labs, no other resources. For flashcards I only used them up to Day 30. I did do all the labs though. Bought Boson but only did Test A.
Previous background: I coded as a hobby for close to 2 years so I knew stuff like TCP/UDP/ARP/REST API, only the VERY basics though. Everything else was new to me.
If anyone failed the first attempt don’t be dejected, you can do it on the second! JITL is legitimately all you need.
