I just finished taking the CCNA examination after like two months of studying valley nonstop. It cut off at 100, so that should be a good thing. maybe:no: I am not going to get into specific questions because I would like them to not bar me for life, but I went through most of the test without feeling like I for sure knew the answer to the questions. More often than not, I could reasonably eliminate all but two, but there were so many that I could have gone either way on. Its probably a good thing when you feel confused during the test as maybe that means they keep giving you the hard ones. But during the test, it doesn't feel like that, you feel like you keep getting questions wrong. I took valley to study for the test, and I know for sure that it helped, since it gave me a guideline to structure my studying around. I am now in the column of test-takers who can say that nothing on the actual test resembled the valley questions I studied, though some covered the same topics of course. Now I have about a month to do with whatever I please before I start working, strange feeling.

Well now, you bring up an interesting point. I've wondered how much Valley helps. Does it keep you focused in the right direction? I'm debating on going to Valley next year or just buying someone's old sweatbook-memory master.
For me, the actual course itself wasn't much help, not really worth the cost. But the materials, sweat book and memory master, are definitely helpful. You could definitely get by without the class.

I LOVED Valley.....both the course and the material. It is the only thing I studied because it gave me a more structured way to review. I passed my test the first time with 100 questions.
