Finally passed, cleared my anxiety, and loose the tension for events and relax a little while
I finally passed Cisco ICND2 (200-105) exam today and renewed my CCNA certification for next 3 years.
This time I was under much more pressure than I took ICND2 exam in 2011 and 2014, majorly in 2 senses.
First the big change of topics on which we are tested. I try really hard to remember various WAN services and configurations, infrastructure service and management, as well as routing and switching protocols, which I had already studied hard in former 2 exams.
Second is the language barrier. last time I took the exam in Japanese. This time I took one in English. I chose the English version because of two reasons.
First is extended time. I got 30-minutes extra exam time because I chose English test in a test site in Japan. The extra 30 minutes worked so well that when I finished test, there were still 26 minutes left, and also that I have enough time to think carefully enough and not worry much about waste of time, for example I try to configure one of the routers to fix the problem, although I only had to answer the cause two host can't establish either connection or neighborhood.
The second reason I chose English exam was the poor translation of the test I took for my first recertification in 2014. For example, even some of commands and configurations were translated into Japanese. Even if you are Japanese as well as I am, you definitely don't want to type the Japanese translation of the command such as "show interfaces" instead of the original command.
I'm relieved that when I actually took the test my anxieties, adjustment of new pieces of knowledge required, and language barrier turned out to be minimum as far as this test is concerned.
I have made efforts daily for 3 different events, business manner exam, vocational skill contest, and this network device vender exam.
I really would like to loose the tension on me and relax, for this holiday, until 15 August (the anniversary Japan lose the Second World War).
