CCENT1 barely failing is still failing

I was surprised by how different the questions on the actual CCENT were. 
Feel like I memorized 650 questions for no reason.

Congrats on the pass! Honestly, I had studied for the CCNA (using this site as well as other resources) for a few months, and was 100% through. In July, due to some (bad) advice from my recruiter, I decided to cram-study for the CCENT for 3.5 days and take THAT test. Unfortunately, during the test, I assumed that I was failing horribly and decided to rush through (i.e. not do) some easy configs and test questions near the end. When my score popped up, I was SHOCKED that I was closer to passing than I had originally thought. . I didn't spend enough time on certain subjects, but I honestly thought that those subjects were eliminated at this time.

I've decided to go back to the CCNA format, because I feel more confident about it (plus I need it). 

Congrats again!!
