r/WGU_BSCNE

Just took my CCNA (200-301) after about 2 months of studying

Wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps someone else.

I used Neil Anderson’s course as my main resource to build the foundation, then leaned heavily on practice exams especially Boson. Toward the end I was basically spamming practice tests, reviewing every question I got wrong, and going back to watch videos on those weak areas until it actually clicked.

I also used ChatGPT a lot to break down concepts I didn’t fully understand (subnetting, routing decisions, STP, etc.) and to drill questions until I was comfortable explaining them.

Biggest thing that helped:

- Don’t just take practice tests review them deeply

- Focus on weak spots instead of what you already know

- Repetition + understanding > memorization

There were definitely some long nights, but staying consistent made the difference.

If you’re studying right now, keep going — it’s doable.

Happy to answer any questions 👍

Hello I am really trying to decide which path to a degree I want to take I am coming in with a AAS in Software development and i currently work as a SharePoint developer/PowerApps developer I am trying to decide between the BSCNE or the BSIT maybe even the Comp sci degree but I’m not to much of a fan of the coding aspect of things! Please let me know your thought and if it’s the BSCNE which would be the best track to take for that in your opinion!

Hi all, just a minor update since I've been lackluster about promoting the sub and posting overall.

April is the start of the latter half of my degree (the general track). I'm at 12 classes left overall.

I have D325 (Net+), E010 (Intro To Python), D522 (Python Automation), and D415 (Software Defined Networking) coming into this next term.

Im curious to get y'alls opinions about where I should start/how I should tackle these and possibly what helped you through these courses if you've taken them.

Feel free to make similar posts if you'd like a sanity check on your current terms or advice on how to tackle them.

I have finished every class in the new Cloud and Network Engineering degree (changed 10/01/2025) except the Capstone E031. I am not great with using GNS3.. but I believe i am missing the some of the needed device to build a hybrid cloud and connect it to AZ.. any tips on this?

Just basic responses to the thirteen prompts is taking me over 17 pages?! I know it may be a bit wordy but there's no way to cut it down to less than 10.

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, 5 courses left. I'd appreciate any advice for AZ-104 and 305. What should I focus on and what's not worth the time?

Good morning,

As the title states, currently taking this course and working on myself and knowledge in order to get things in order for the first (and hopefully final) attempt at this certification exam. I've been working on Flashcards via CBT Nuggets, as they offer them as part of their course, as well as personal notes and Anki. A decent number of things seem to be registering and sticking within my mind, and I feel quite comfortable with being able to read and organize code based on how it should be laid out or what the results would be.

Originally took the practice exam via CBT Nuggets and scored less than favorably. Re-took the same thing after going through the LinkedIn Learning course, as well as the Pluralsight course covering DevNet. Score increased greatly but still feel there's room for improvement before the actual attempt of said exam.

I think the biggest thing that worries me is the fact that the practice exams can only do so much for you and aren't necessarily "Cisco Formatted" if that makes sense? Just looking to get some input from anyone who's completed this course and what suggestions would be to finally tackle this and get things done. Much appreciated and look forward to replies.

I just got my transcripts back for the Azure pathway. I have all the Gen Eds met but there are 4 courses that I can either take at WGU or Sophia/SDC etc and looking to see if anyone has any recommendations for the better route. I have some IT background but that was several years ago.

The courses:

E004 - Introduction to IT

D426 - Data Management - Foundations

D315 - Network and Security - Foundations

D370 - IT Leadership Foundations
