Chapter 20. Final Preparation

The first 19 chapters of this book cover the technologies, protocols, commands, and features you need to understand to pass the ICND2 exam. Although these chapters supply the detailed information, most people need more preparation than simply reading these 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 CCENT/CCNA ICND1 640-822 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 ICND1 book.

This short chapter has two main sections. The first section lists the exam preparation tools that can be useful at this point in your study process. The second section lists a suggested study plan now that you have completed all the earlier chapters.
