Is CCNA Discovery 1 & 2 Enough to pass the CCENT?

As a NetAcad student, you will be completing modules,labs, and tests for the Discovery 1 (Networking for Home and Small Businesses) and Discovery 2 (Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP). Doing all this helps you prepare for your CCENT Exam, but does not guarantee you will pass the CCENT Certification Exam. The CCENT Exam is in a different format than the one you do on the NetAcad modules. Some questions have more than one part to it, and there are simulation questions also. Below are some guidelines to follow when you start your Discovery NetAcad courses.

1. Know your concepts!
The CCENT exam is not an exam that can just be passed by studying definitions and memorizing diagrams. You need to learn your concepts, make sure you understand everything, and be quick at troubleshooting. While you're in your class, take advantage of all the routers,switches, and other equipments. Do as many labs and learn as much as you can. Cisco is really good with testing, and they really test you on your concepts. The exam has 50-60 questions, and a 90 minute time limit.

2. STUDY, STUDY, and STUDY!
I would recommend picking a study time and studying and reviewing your concepts from Discovery 1 and Discovery 2 curriculums each day.

3. Know how to SUBNET!
There will be many questions involving subnetting. You really need to learn how to subnet, otherwise there is no way you will pass the exam. Be able to subnet quickly!
