Chapter 24. Final Preparation

The first 23 chapters of this book cover the technologies, protocols, commands, and features you need to understand to pass the ICND1 exam. Although these chapters supply the detailed information, most people need more preparation than simply reading the first 23 chapters. This chapter details a set of tools and a study plan to help you complete your preparation for the exams.

If you’re preparing for the CCNA exam by reading both this book and the CCNA ICND2 640-816 Official Cert Guide, you know that both books have a final preparation chapter. However, you can refer to just this chapter to read about the suggested study plan, because this chapter refers to the tools in both this book and the ICND2 book. Just look for the text highlighted in gray, like this sentence, for suggestions that apply to CCNA (640-802) exam preparation, but not to ICND1 (640-822) exam preparation.
