My take is this. Don’t try to get good at tests, get good at the subject. If you know the subject well, you don’t need to do crazy tricks like before sleep hypnosis or eating memory foods before a test.
When I took my A+, I just went in and took it without flash cards or memory exercises because I knew the material very well.

All test taking skills create is bunch of people who can’t design a network because they don’t really understand the subject. I’ve seen countless people with a Network+ who don’t understand the layers. They just repeat things like don’t throw away sausage pizza, but never touched Wireshark in the lives.

I'm not going to stop watching your videos #1 and going to sign up for CBT Nuggets #2. Your videos are a great help, I watched on my way to work to refresh myself after 10 years away from Cisco equipment and now I'm jumping right back into IOS CLI, reading, and testing. I'll have a CCNA in no time. Many thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for this, Keith. I've been a little depressed and haven't studied for two weeks :( I was feeling like quite the failure, but this makes me feel a little bit better.

The biggest thing makes me nervous is time I will learn it but I can’t rush it and I do excessive hours I know one thing if I never get a job I will still continue to learn this and you sir are phenomenal teacher I wish I had your knowledge

[mahadabdurahman]

Keith, I always enjoy your videos. so much to learn.

[hcetc]

Hey Keith just wanted to say thank you for all the knowledge you provide for us. I joined the marines and was given a job as a network administrator with no knowledge of anything IT until my Sargents helped me a little. Then I tried college to sharpen my skills specifically with Cisco equipment but the professors were so monotone and it was a very unmotivated experience. That’s what I found out about Cbtnuggets and can honestly say that it takes a lot for someone to really get my attention when it comes to education and you exceed it on all levels thank you again.

Enjoying the process is so important but most of us tend to forget it.
it makes things easier and much funnier, it gives us confidence and so much more.
Again, thanks for the video Keith
(and thks for the safety tip as well)

Interesting tip. The studying info useful too ;) - people have been burgled posting their being away from home.

Thank you Keith, for the content of recent months. I'm getting caught up in the sheer volume of things to learn and retain for my CCNA. There is so much to recall, I'm really worried that can forget anything important come exam day (November for me, subsequently ). Is it like you say, info over time is key to retaining all you need? I get easily discouraged from reading / studying when I think about the volume and what I need to retain. Regards.

My ADHD makes study for these exams at the last minute, within two weeks. I repeat the same process each year. I already did it with CCNA, three years in a row that I study in depth within the last two weeks and never complete any of the study materials I invested in. I retake the exam for the third time this week and I failed again for the third time studying consistently for a year. The time blindness hits me hard and I continue to time warp the entire year without looking at my CCNA books, labs, and practice exams. Luckily, I had free vouchers for the last three years, each year from my job. But I will have to take it for the fourth time out of my pocket. Although I did manage to pass the A+ and Network+ cramming for the last two weeks, but with CCNA it is impossible.

I live in Vegas! Let's be BFFs! Haha. Keep posting videos, they're all great!

[RonaldRaiden]

I've been wanting to do this for five years, I really got into it a few years ago but I got side tracked with work. I think I should get studying again.

[saumitrakulkarni]

Keith.. you are Amazing!! the best teacher ever, I took your ccna course and I passed the exam!! 😊 Thanks man.

[azimfauzi]

Thank you Keith! You look slim now. Btw, could you share more study tips, sacrifice, material on CCNP or CCIE .

[panasheruvera]

The crammed for the ccna 1 and I didn't do well in that. Now I study, do labs and I have done much better. I work now in the industry now and most of the things I study for come in my line of work

[wekdydo]

Thank you for reminding, sir! Yeah, discipline and consistency is the key to success!

[CollabCrush]

Good advice. It definitely makes the process easier.
