It is not difficult to pass the CCNA 200-120 exam, but it’s
not that easy. You have to work hard to pass it. Whether you do it by watching
videos, reading e-books, studying dumps and practicing lab simulations, be proud
of yourself. It means that you’ve dedicated enough time studying Cisco and you
are willing do anything to be a Cisco network associate. Even experienced network
engineers if they don’t study, I’m pretty sure they will have difficulty
passing CCNA 200-120. A good network engineer is both experienced and
certified.
