Anyone else studying for ICND1 in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my (ICND1) Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 exam in 4 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "ICND1" and working on my weak areas — specifically around ICND1 exam.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
The free icnd1 network fundamentals ip addressing helped me understand what the exam actually tests rather than just what the material covers.
Failed my first attempt, came back to this thread for motivation. The advice about really understanding why wrong answers are wrong — not just memorizing the right ones — is the single best piece of advice I've seen for the ICND1. Rebuilding my prep around that principle now. Using interconnecting cisco networking devices part 1 certification for the concept review.
What helped me most with practice test specifically: stop thinking about it as a topic to memorize and start thinking about the types of decisions it's asking you to make. Once I shifted to that frame, my ICND1 scores in that section jumped about 13 points within a week.
Great discussion. One thing nobody mentions: sleep the night before matters more than one more study session. Went in fully rested for my ICND1 and felt sharper than expected.
Failed first attempt, came back to this thread. The consensus on icnd1 practice test being the make-or-break area is right. Focusing almost exclusively on applied questions this time around.
