      @@colinrhee98 It was harder than I expected. I studied hard for it, and it paid off, though. At some point, you will feel like you may be failing. But keep on going and trust you know what you are testing for.
      You got this. I recommend labing and getting as much hands-on experience as you can. This allows you to understand the concepts and know how to do them yourself.

      @@adambauer2597 yeh couldn't agree more. Doing lots of labs really helps to solidify the knowledge and after a while it all becomes second nature. I am currently re-doing my CCNA (did it 10 years ago) and the fact that I really took the time to learn it properly the first time means that even though I haven't used it in years, it is very easy to jump back into it. I looked at some subnetting exercises for the first time in long time recently and could instantly work them out. I can still subnet in my head lol. I can still get OSPF up and running in no time. Repetition is key to the CCNA!

    This is a very impressive achievement! No previous related experience, working 3 jobs, and starting with the book. The only things I would've done differently is I would've first watched a video training to get a good understanding of the topics (first Practical Networking's video series about network fundamentals, then Neil Anderson's course (Flackbox): his labs are especially superb), because the book can be very dry if that's what you start with, but I love that it's so detailed, so I would've filled in the details using the book. I would've also went to bed immediately after going home from work and studied first thing in the morning. Or is that what you did when you mentioned you started almost 2 hours early at work? Thank you very much for this video, and again, congratulations on your achievement! There are many people who never even get the CCNA.
