Here is what I found. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/dynamic-address-allocation-resolution/13711-40.html I really don't remember seeing anything about IP Subnet Zero in the Netacad course for ICND1. What review material are you using?

Todd Lammle's CCENT Study Guide (where this question came from, Ch4 Review Questions) and Chris Bryant's ICND-1 Study Guide. Bryant's book has a weird composition to it and some errors but the last chapter on subnetting and finding host/broadcast/VLSM solutions has a lot of useful practice questions. Lammle's book has a lot of good practice questions in it as well. I'm going through that book again and taking notes this time, hoping it sticks so I can finally take this exam after dragging my feet for about 2 years or so.

Are there any decent providers of certification video material that are DRM free? CompTIA/Cisco/Red Hat stuff.

Whats everyone's strategy for exam revision? I just looked at a video course provided by my employer and it was garbage. I took a practice exam and almost every question was something that wasn't covered (completely) in the video series. The videos were from PlauralSight which I think used to be TrainSignal but i'm not sure. Should I try and get hold or access to CBT Nuggets? When I used to do Cisco exams there was a press eBook which everyone used to read? Is that just a Cisco thing or do MS do it too?

Passed ICND1 today. Everything was going great with me taking my time and reading everything thoroughly. I was budgeting my time to maximize it, and on question 45/50 when suddenly it was a huge OSPF sim to diagnose adjacency issues (6 routers and 4 questions in the sim). Suddenly I was in panic mode. I couldn't remember anything, especially commands to do things like show hello timers. Half my commands weren't enabled on the sim. Time was now at 6 minutes. I had to essentially guess rather than risk 5 unanswered questions. Turned out ok, but still that was one hell of a curveball. I'll make sure to budget a 10 minute buffer next time.

Well sir, one of the free books they're offering appears to be a giant Technet dump of all Server 2012 and R2 content. 8,709 pages. Just the sexiest thing you'll ever see, especially since the 2012 R2 exam books which have been released aren't exactly thorough and you need to go to Technet anyway - well boom, there you go, all the content in one downloadable PDF. Load the page and search "Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 TechNet Library Documentation" Sidebar, does anyone know of the same PDF for 2008 R2? Would love to download all of that.

It depends, what do they say on the front? Both the exams and textbooks were updated "recently" - But we'd need more info to find out whether yours were.

The Microsoft books aren't great for actually getting you prepped for the test as they should be. The people who write the books obviously have nothing to do with the folks who put together the test and vice versa. I feel that the books emphasis things too much that won't even be in the test and the test still has too many trick questions and poo poo that doesn't matter.

Microsoft has changed how they write their exam books. For the 2003 and 2008 series books, the book was basically all you needed. Reinforcing concepts on Technet and self-study would give you an extra 50 or 100 points, but you could prooobably pass by rote memorization. For 2012, the exam books are now just a head start on your studying. A photographic memory for each exam book probably only gets you to 500/1000 at this point. You've got to go above and beyond the books now, which is why that Technet PDF I mentioned is going to be so critical, that's a wonderful resource.

Thanks for the PDFs, especially the one MCFS suggested. I've taken 70-410 and 70-411, but got burnt out before I buckled down on 70-412. I guess I've got to do that one of these days!

I am hitting ICND1 pretty hard for the last 2 weeks. Took my first practice test from the new Odom book, 45 questions, needed 800 to pass, scored 800. Much better than I was expecting, but no padding so to speak. Bombed most of the NAT stuff as that is the chapter I haven't really gotten into yet. Wonder if I am close enough to schedule and take it in the next 2 weeks now.

I got my INCD1 last week, and I hit the same question roughly, except it was in the first half of the exam. That's a kick in the nuts to get the sims at the end. Honestly the sims took the majority of my time as the rest of the questions were pretty clear with the answers after 30 seconds of reading and re-reading the question (DO THIS). I ended up finishing with 20 minutes to go but at least a good 30 minutes of the exam I spent checking and double checking on the sims. Also, yeah the fact that they lock out commands threw me for a loop as they want you to use specific commands to get the info they ask for, even though there's often simpler and quicker ways to get to it that anyone actually working in an real environment would use.

I would say the vast majority involved subnetting, after that base configuration and for switches a couple about access aspects of port settings. Most importantly be able to subnet in under a minute and you should be set.

I've got the same PluralSight subscription through work and i've done the whole thing and failed a practice test miserably. So now i'm working my way through some CBT nuggets videos to see if they're any better. When you say "reading" what did you read? Just poo poo you found on the internet or some sort of official documentation?

I took each concept that Pluralsight mentioned and just labbed the hell out of it and learned it inside and out. But, it also helps that I've had a few years experience administrating Server 2008 R2, so some of the concepts carried over.

Exam references prep you for the test. They need to ship proper Self-paced training kit. Certing up for exchange was sweet because there was a Self-paced and an exam reference. I wholly suspect microsoft is not shiping self-paced because they want to increase the perceived value of the certs by making everyone take classes.

so just failed my ccna 200-120 test with a 547, the more detailed icnd2 questions ruined me and not being able to review my answers was a problem. Paying outta pocket really added the cherry on top for depression. Since I'm unemployed i'm going to try getting a tech job (possibly NOC-related) and go for each test individually instead. Don't skimp the lab work is all I can really add, get the commands beaten down.

Next time you take the test you will be more comfortable with it and have some idea of what you are in for. The biggest thing with those sim questions is to take your time and really pay attention to the details of the sim. Do you not have access to a lab or simulator to practice? Looked into Boson or GSN3 at all?
