I Prepared This Document to help those who are financially strapped but are really willing to work hard to learn about Cisco Technologies. I have already Passed CCNA, BSCI,BCMSM,BCRAN [Although Expired] . Additionally I am Network+, A+ , INet+, Microsoft, Novell, Linux and OS/2 Certified, for those of you that have been around that should tell you How long I have been in IT --:)
IF YOU KNOW OF ANY USEFUL WEBSITES PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH THE LINK.
DO NOT EMAIL ME ASKING for CCNA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS OR DUMPS FOR EXAMS. I DO NOT ENDORSE USING THEM TO PASS YOUR TEST. Please feel free to ask me any other question(s).
You can find a CCNA Study Plan & schedule
I created here https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/message/130160#130160
640-802 CCNA® Exam Topics (Blueprint) https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-4976
THOSE NEW TO CISCO--------> READ the EXAM Topics atleast 5 times, So you know what you are getting yourself into.
I like to find out as much information about a subject as I can, So additionally I will be looking at ICND1 and ICND2 Exam topics also. ICND1 Topics Here: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-4986. ICND2 Topics Here: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-4977
USE THE FOLLOWING LINKS TO FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ANY TOPIC YOU WISH TO STUDY
Every CISCO Certified person should know how to use the CISCO website to find information. Anytime you want to Research for a topic go to http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html (A MUST) Hint: There are two search Engines on the page.
Don’t Forget to Use www.google.com to search for more information for any topic you want to know more about.
You can read the free books or free online Books linkS I provide to study.
IF you wish to know more about a topic just click on one of the links I provided on the subject.
Knowing how to use the Cisco router is a must. USE the free simulator links I provided to practice, so you can pass the hands on portion of the test.
The Following CCNA ICND TIPS are FROM http://www.semsim.com/ccna/articles/CCNA-ICND.html
Things to Know About CCNA / ICND Exams:
1. CCNA ICND is comprehensive
The Cisco CCNA ICND exams cover a large variety of topics from basic TCP/IP knowledge to routing protocols and spanning trees. In other words, it’s a tough exam because it covers so much. It is important that you do well on the ICND because most of it serves as the basis for all other Cisco CCNA track exams, and so it is important that you respect the breadth of information that this test covers.
2. CCNA ICND is practical
The ICND exam is not the kind of test where only “book smarts” will come into play. Simply put, you need to be able to use the information you learn and apply it to a real-world network troubleshooting issue. For example: knowing that IP is an unreliable service is one thing – solving a communications error between two nodes over IP is quite another.
3. ICND is short
Think you can handle 45-60 questions in 75-90 minutes? You better be able to in order to excel on the ICND test, which tests candidates rapidly in their knowledge on all things Cisco networking. Pacing and speed are both major issues in the test as is appropriate test preparation. At the same time, the CCNA ICND exam covers many real-world situations, which are may be complex to understand without adequate time.
4. ICND is marketable
Passing the Cisco CCNA ICND exam doesn’t just open up the CCNA path to candidates. It also allows you to market yourself as a true networking expert with more knowledge and skill than your non-certified peers, allowing you to really stretch out your skills and your opportunities.
Three Myths About Cisco Exams
Should You Take The Single or the Two Exam Approach To CCNA?
Tips For Taking the CCNA Exam
First, read the questions SLOWLY. Many vendors love to write questions for folks who read too fast. Most exams provide sufficient time in which to finish them. Take your time! Many mental mistakes are made by people who rush through the questions. Second, don't forget the process of elimination. I am amazed at how many times that I've been able to "guess" the correct answer simply because I knew that the other suggested answers could not possibly be right. Typically, you will be able to easily eliminate all but two of the correct answers (or one, if you are fortunate enough). Then you can focus your mental energy on the remaining two.

This 3 part video series covers Advanced Switching, Static Routing and RIP, and OSPF providing you with over 7 hours of hands-on CCNA training.
TrainSignal Videos - Very Good video series.
CBTNUGGETS VIDEOS – Very good video series.
I recommend Purchasing both the cbtnuggets and the TrainSignal videos if you can afford them. If however you cannot by any means afford either one, Go to http://www.cbtnuggets.com/series?id=411 for ICND1 or for ICND2, goto http://www.cbtnuggets.com/series?id=412 Browse through the available Videos, and select one or 2 Video based on any CCNA topic you feel you need more explanation on then go to https://secure.cbtnuggets.com/trial. Sign on for a trial subscription. The trial subscription will allow you to view any videos on the website for up to 1 hour.
