Did anyone use the paid practice test available at this site with 324 questions in July? were there any new questions?

When you get the summary of your test, the results are only broken down into general categories:

Network Fundamentals
LAN Switching Fundamentals
Routing Fundamentals
Infrastructure Services
Infrastructure Maintenance

Anyone have some guidance as to what to concentrate specifically on if you score low in a certain category?

I'm joining this forum after not passing the exam. I have years of actual networking experience and used Wendell Odom's books in preparation to make sure I would be doing it "the Cisco way". I used the Pearson resources and Cisco Learning for additional practice. I still encountered subject matter that was not covered in any of this material. VoIP phone configuration and serial port troubleshooting, for example. I was graded low on the "Networking Fundamentals", which I can't believe. I'm getting tired of shucking out money and then being surprised at the exam.

Will how2pass cover everything I need to know in order to pass the exam, and CCNA thereafter? Or is this just another moneymaking venue?
Is it better to take on the full CCNA instead of the two halves separately?
Does anyone have any experience in getting a refund from these other resources? I at least want to lodge a complaint about what I see as a misleading practice on their part.

Hi Guys,
I am new to the IT field and have been working in healthcare for the last 17 years or so. I was told that this site is very good and does a decent job of having questions very similar to the actual exam.
So far I have gone through CBT Nugget's ICND1 with Jeremy Cioara. I find Jeremy to be ok but he seems to glaze over certain topics while over-emphasizing others. His enthusiasm for the subject is probably why I watched his entire 76 hour video marathon.

I also have some lab equipment and an older version of Packet Tracer. I like the simulations/emulations because I can go through them much faster than actual routers and switches. That and I don't have any serial ports on any of my routers....go figure. I'm not going to buy and install interfaces for outdated devices.

When I hit this site, I noticed that the questions where quite different than the material I studied. Like I said, CBT Nuggets seemed to hit the high points and move on. At first, I was a little frustrated by this.
The material on this site appears to be related to what I studied but some of it is totally foreign. I find myself going back and having to read up on IPV6, for instance. I'm not sure why they don't cover IPV6 more in depth on CBT Nuggets. It almost seems like a separate but related topic. I keep smacking CBT Nuggets around but I just feel they kinda missed this one in my opinion.
...But I am glad I have this site to look at and study before I take the exam.

So I probably have another month or so at this point. If I fail, I can turn around and take it within 24 hrs again...I think. Have any of you taken it a few times in a row?

Anyway, feel free to comment. Cheers.

Saw 5 or 6  new Questions. HSRP testlet was bit different but if you use show standby and show run command you can figure your way out

Dot1x LAB and Lab#7 (LACP etherchannel,vtp prunning) lab were right on

Passed the ICND2 to get my CCNA this morning. I needed an 811 and scored 848. Anyone that wants a legitimate chance at passing these cert exams should use this site. This is the most comprehensive tool that's available outside of a formal Cisco class. The exam was exactly what I expected, having a handful of questions that weren't covered here, but the majority of the questions are on this site. The router sims were the same topologies. I was given 3 sims, but I didn't have to do any configs. the sims that I was given were worded the same, with interfaces and outputs, and answers being the variables. I'll be using this site when I go for my CCNP.  Thanks guys! Good luck to all of you!

Just missed out.

There were a good few new multiple choice questions that are not on here. Id say I saw 12 new questions.

There was about 4 new drag and drop questions that have since been added to this website.

The labs I got were covered on this site.

I dont think passing is guaranteed using this site unless the questions are updated. I can see some of the drag and drop questions were added but that doesn't cover it.

Any recent test takers for a comparison of these practice tests vs the real one.  I have read the books, completed cisco exams and wanted to throw these in the mix if they reflect exam scenarios.

-Thanks

Took the test today failed unfortunately. Sims on test are by far more difficult then the hands on on this site. In addition some topics on test not really addressed in practice tests here. Second time taking it and failing. Feel like the exam is set up for failure.

Recently passed the exam, thanks to H2P.  Was able to identify weak areas that needed more study and areas where the OCG didn't cover well enough.  Labs #6 and #4 and the simulet #2 were right on.  Follow the HP2 recommendations on prep and study approach, it works.
