CCNA Q&A: Two Exams ICND1 And ICND2 Or Single CCNA Exam?
I’m planning to write a CCNA exam. Would you please suggest me which one is better shall I give two exams ICND1 and ICND2 or single CCNA exam. Also could you please let me what is main difference between those single and two exams. ———— 22karthikreddy
There is no “difference” really. It just depends on how much you want to study and how much you want to be tested on at one point in time versus another. if you take the single exam route you will be responsible for everything. if you take the 2 exam route you can break down what you need to study per exam. I personally liked the two exam route because I could concentrate on certain technologies at a time to make the testing easier. It really depends on what your personal preference is. if you don’t mind studying more go for the single exam. it also depends on your current knowledge and experience. if you have been in networking a while it might just be easier to go the single exam. it’s all up to you! —————- Rickey
Also, keep in mind that you have less time to complete the single exam. The single exam allows you 90 minutes to answer all of the questions covered by the CCNA. If you take the two test route, you will have 90 minutes for the first test and 75 minutes for the second test. This allows you to pace yourself much more without feeling rushed.
I just completed the two test route last Friday and highly recommend it if you don’t have much (or any) real-world networking experience.
