PASSED THE CCNA 200-301 | CCNA REVIEW 

Dude your suggestion of getting the Boson practice test put me over and got me a pass. I failed on the first try with a 802. Went back to the drawing board and found this video. Coughed up 85$ for Boson and boom! Passed with a 865. Thanks bro. Keep up the good work

Network Chuck is awesome. I've been listening to him for a while. I also recommend David Bombal and Du'An Lightfoot.

I'm taking my CCNA May 7, 2021, you were really clear and inspiring. Thank you for your feedback and insight on your personal experience.

Congrats, I just passed my CCNA first try a couple weeks ago.

I know this post is old but congrats man. This is huge.

I love your content brother! Greetings from Washington DC. Sad I did not know about you before when I needed motivation. I have been stuck in a government contract job as a help desk tier 2 for 2 years now and i have been wanting to study for the CCNA for a long time . You have finally motivated me to move forward in my career. Much Love to you from a new sub. Best of luck for you and your amazing future ahead.

You're proof that hard work along with a little passion for something pays off man, congrats!

Congratulations, thank you for sharing I am definitely inspired by your story.

Congrats on passing the CCNA. I like how you are real and honest about your journey to success.

Congrats dude. I have my exam booked this Monday and am in a similar position actively working in networking and telecommunications. Figured I should actually read through the CCNA 200-301 material even though I studied for the old CCNA Routing & Switching exam 10 years ago. Glad I did because of all of the newer stuff like SDA/SDN, network automation, wireless, etc. Hearing you mentioned the necessity to study that material and that there is plenty of questions based on that reinforces my decision to revisit it from scratch and makes me happy.

Appreciate the information, I have been wanting to go for my ccna for a while now, and my desktop support job has motivated me to hurry and elevate. So this was good information and you pushed good energy to make it feel obtainable in the time span I am looking for. After CCNA I plan on focusing on the cloud as well

This really helped inspire me to keep pushing for the CCNA. Thanks man! I'm thinking AZ-104 after I get the CCNA so I'll be looking for those cloud videos lol.

Awesome feedback and congrats! I’m having a difficult time landing my first job in the IT field after acquiring my A+, Net+, and Sec+. Hopefully, the CCNA cert will reverse my luck-thanks again

Just passed my exam. Took your advice on boson exams and can say for certain would not have passed without them

Congrats dude proud of you mine is at the end of the month hopefully I pass as well😤

Great video! I actually passed the ICND-1 exam last April as well. I took the ICND-2 a week before the changing of the test and ended up failing the exam. Like you, I decided to start fresh to freshen up on some of the material from the first one. I am scheduled to take the 200-301 exam this Thursday. This video has helped ease the anxiety. Wonderful job!

Congrats on all the success I'm a new subscriber jumping back into IT. Studying for my CCNA now and hopefully will be comfortable enough to pass the exam in August.

Loved your presentation and heads up on the study, thanks very much, ive just started studying the new exam, i got my original CCNA in 2000, yes long time ago, with whats going on in the world i should renew incase my country needs me. Thanks for your encouragement too. Love the biceps !

Congrats 2 U bro💪🏾 I’m on that CCNA study grind right now and I want to thank you for the encouragement and tips to pass the exam. I’ve been thinking about getting the Boson exam engine but now it’s official, I gotta add to my study arsenal. You r the 3rd person to say they used it and passed on the 1st try. Thanks again, stay safe, Peace and Blessings.

Awesome Man. Congratulations on Passing.

Just bought Boson’s practice exams. Gave the reference credit to your channel 👍 Thanks for the video! Taking my CCNA 200-301 next week.

I can relate to this. Congratulations, keep grinding

Thank you so much! I have my exam in June and I am a nervous wreck! You are awesome!!! Thank you so much!!!!

This was dope. Glad I found this! I passed the Sec+ July 2020... I'm on the roadmap of the CCNA journey now - not easy to keep the path but it's worth it \w/

Thanks a lot sharing your experience definitely will get boson

Congratulations brother I'm happy for you, keep on keepin' on

Great video! I wish they were posted more often as I just got started on this IT network engineering journey, currently enrolled at NexGenT program. I hope I can get my CCNA by September

your videos have been really helpful. I graduated with a BA in IT last year but didn't retain anything(doesn't help none of my professors motivated us to certificates either) so these videos I feel have been a pretty good starting point for getting a job in networking.

Good for you brotha! I love seeing my brothers getting this money in the tech world. I'm working on getting in there now. Taking an 8m course to get cert in comptia. I'm looking forward to finally get into this, should've done it a while ago lol

Right on, congrats! I’m about to jump in the ring. Thanks for sharing

I just bought the new books for the CCNA. Excited for this new adventure. I've been doing IT work since 2006, but this will be my first networking cert. I've managed this far with an A+. Been doing networking for the past 7 years. Having a hard time being taken seriously in my new position. I thought about getting the Net + cert but after watching Network Chuck It think this will be better.

Congratulations. Darn good review and heads up. Straight to the point of what to possibly expect lol. I take my exam tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to a 2hr concentrated sit, I sure can’t wait for it to be over.

Brotha, happy to see you. Brotha! Congrats to you on earning CCNA its an awesome feeling. Earned mine recently as well, we go same score. Keep it up. see ya!

Hey Bro, thanks for the inspiration. I've been studying for a few months now and your vid was just what I needed to keep grinding.

Good stuff bro you're gunna blow up on RU-vid. Keep grinding u got a new fan

Nice job & congrats! Thanks for the info & tips

Hey Buff Nerd , (haha) Congratulations on passing the exam that's great news for you. I am new to your channel first video I watched but I can relate to how you felt before the exam. I am in the same boat now. I got the job before knowing the subject and I feel as though I am not very qualified for this position and I feel replaceable and getting that certification to me will give me more confidence. Anyways my test is next month and man I think I'm wayyyyy behind on the knowledge but all I can do is try at this point. WISH ME LUCK! thanks for the info!

Thanks… Great comments…!!! Good luck in your journey…!!!

Just passed my net+ yesterday. Now I’m here! Thanks for the info

Congrats and thanks for making this video and mentioning imposter syndrome. I’m almost 40 and just switched careers to IT. I had several interviews but ended up staying at my company and getting into IT through there. I’m on my second week and feel like I am about to get found out. Lmao. I got Security+ in the Navy and kept it but have never done anything IT.

Congrats man. I go Monday. I made a 825 on boson last night so I feel a bit confident

got my CCNA today! thanks for the insight and your videos kick ass

Congratulations!! Thanks for the review.

Bro, you have a new sub. Great content, liked your style. I'm going for my Azure Admin cert and then work towards Azure devops.

Bro good stuff...going for my exam in about a couple hours haha and just looking for some comfort for the mind in the meantime. I felt somehow encouraged by your video so cheers. Will share the outcome here afterwards...

You my inspiration dawg 💪💪🏿

Congrats! Keep moving up

Thank you for your feedback and sharing links below to get a tips to pass

I really like your content Sir, Really appreciated🙏

I'm going to comment here as a little reminder to myself. I'm currently studying for the CCNA using Udemy with a course from Neil Anderson and one from David Bombal. I'll definitely be getting the Ex-SimMax from Boson for exam prep. Glad I came across this video to see what it's like to go through the process. I'll do my best to remember to comment again once I pass. All the love, brother.

Congratulations sir, you are very inspirational I look forward to more videos.

Great testimony! Thank for sharing

Great video man! Question how did you review the day before your exam? I feel like I covered everything.

I can relate to imposter syndrome, especially getting sec+, 501 was a hard test but it was just recalling information - Cisco certificates seem more practical in design than 501.

I feel like we are on similar paths. I currently have a Network Admin job and feel like I am not qualified for it at all but I am so grateful to be in this position. I am currently starting to study CCNA and thinking about Security+ after. Do you have a discord or linkedin? I feel like you'd be a great connection as someone in a similar situation. I'd love to pick your brain. Congrats on the pass!

Hey great advice big guy, appreciate it. Looking forward to adding this to my skill set

Thank you. I will take the exam in a few weeks. I have 8 more chapters in the Cisco vol 2 material. And I use CBT nuggets. I think I need to add Bosan.

Love your channel man!! Much needed! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations brother!

Thank you for the detailed review. I haven't had a CCNA since 2002 and a LOT has changed.

Great video and congrats!

Thank you for the info! Studying for my CCNA now

Thank you for sharing in such wonderful detail.

Congrats bro!!! do you have an opinion on ciscos course? I'm running through their course right now, passed through IPv6 and working in VLANs... Also are the books a good way to get some more depth... Ciscos videos are good but I find myself checking youtube on some topics here and there for some further information. Again congrats on your accomplishment! Hitting that follow button

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your tips. I had just signed up with Boson last night. Also using the NetworkChuck & David Bombal This is IT CCNA vids. Curious on your thoughts about the JNCIA cert. I see it as a sort of stepping stone toward the CCNA. Yes its Juniper, not Cisco, but seems like a worthy stop along the way.

I passed my CCNA last Friday. What a relief.

12:33 Very nice that you're interested in the Cloud☁. But don't underestimate [the power of] GCP!

We got the same score, just got mine a few days ago..congrats.

Congrats! Very inspiring.

Congrats man! I've recently got my A+ cert and currently studying Network + material on Udemy and Professor Messor. My plan is to not actually take the Net+ exam, just obtain the knowledge as a foundation and put the money I've saved towards CCNA study material and/or equipment. I appreciate you sharing your CCNA study methods. I was planning on getting CBT Nuggets, CCNA Book, practice exams. But I was wondering what type of labs I should plan for? Some swear that CCNA/Network newbies should lab with physical equipment, others say Packet tracer, others GNS3. I think a small physical lab would be beneficial for me. However, I don't want to spend +$1000 dollars on equipment and I would prefer that it not interfere with my existing home network (if possible). Could I just run a cable from my home router to the lab equipt and have it on a different subnet or something? Again congratulations on the exam and we appreciate your content.

Great video and congrats on passing! Did IPv6, security and wireless come up much in the exam?

good stuff bro keep it up

I am now starting my journey to pass the exam! I’m working on a service desk right now with my goal to get into a Network Engineer position before or after I complete my certification! This video was perfect for me. I even bought the official cert guide too and I’m also new to the IT world as you. Thanks! And you said you got the certification book to read along with the video? Is that what I’m understanding?

Yooo!!! Congrats! Dude we are on a super similar track! Do you have a discord or anything?

Excellent!!!

Congrats!!! I’m studying too for the CCNA and my approach is to job shadow the network admins, build a network at the house and using packet tracer to simulate a real company network. After that, I’ll read Paul Browning CCNA book and use the boson practice exam. I’m going to shadow and use packet tracer strictly for 4 months then dive deep into the books, this is the career I want to have. Is that a good approach or should I use a different one.

A little late commenting on this but congrats on passing! I'm going through the cbt nuggets course myself right now and I'm finding those videos paired with the virtual labs they have, as well as using packet tracer to follow along with what the instructors are doing in the videos is helping me tremendously to retain the information. My only concern right now is the OCG books. I'm planning on getting those soon and was wondering if you had any tips on how to use them. Right now, the videos are working very well for me, but the thought of making time to read those books cover to cover is giving me hella anxiety lol. Would using them maybe just to supplement the areas I'm weaker in be sufficient. Just as a fill in the gaps type thing?

I'm looking to get the CCNA as a foundation for moving into System Administration/Devops down the line. I feel like networking is my weak area as a help desk tech. Any thoughts on the topic coverage for a sysadmin type role? I don't think I want to a networking guy (at least as far as I know), but I want the foundation since you can't do tech nowadays without knowing the net side. I plan to try and learn Linux and general scripting/programming after the CCNA. Hope to see more, man. digging the videos so far. Appreciate the insight!

sir I have a doubt I have checked the cbt nuggets channel which contains a playlist of 268 video is that of the CCNA ? and what do u think about jermeys it lab . I have completed my engineering in electronics do I have to so some certification on networking before I get into CCNA course ?

Congrats! I'm currently working on studying for this CCNA myself and I'll make sure to take a look at those practice exams! I was wondering if you would be able to help guide me though! I ultimately want to break into Security and Network Pen testing so I was thinking after the CCNA I'll work towards the OSCP but do you think I should get the Security+ Or something before? Thank you so much!

Congratulations on passing the CCNA. Did most of your labbing consist of using physical equipment or simulation software? Great video 😀

Well done. Same starting story as me... I retook / recertified my CCENT in Feb, but missed the 2nd part to get the full CCNA. Now I have been trawelling through the new syllabus.... Spooky to not have simulations anymore? Trying to stop brain dumpers?

Thanks for the video - super useful.

Very motivating video, you rock

Did you take notes or just read, watch vids and take practice tests? Thanks for the vids

Thanks for sharing man, and congrats. I've been working in IT for over 20 years. I received several certs early on in my career and never updated any of them, or obtained any new ones. Now that I'm moving and need to find a new job I'm working hard to get some certs, including the CCNA. I'm also very interested in cybersecurity. I want to get into that, but I imagine it's not going to be easy...

Bro I just passed today after studying at night for a YEAR. 2 hours a night if I’m lucky. I work 60 hours a week, 6 days a week, and I cannot believe I did it! Also, I started this with ZERO networking experience

Well done sir! Enjoyed your video!

congrats

Thank you!

You would be surprised (shocked..) how many folks in major corps DON'T have Cisco certs. I worked in a network admin role for a major US corp and very few of my peers were certified or even were interested in getting certified.

Congrats bro

Thank you for sharing your experience..but is boson exim enough without netsim??

well done bro !!! Anyway whats the best form of revision for a beginner.

If you could do a video referencing the videos and general resources best for a beginner, that would be a great.

Would you recommend CCNA for someone who has a very basic knowledge of networking or should I just start with the Network+ cert and then go for CCNA? Great video by the way!

Congratulations!! How much did your lab practice help you with the exam?

Awesome

thank you for sharing...

Hey man congratulations on passing the exam, have you done it online or at a test center? can you share your experience?
