The first 15 chapters of this book cover the technologies, protocols, commands, and design concepts and considerations required to pass the 642-617 FIREWALL v1.0 exam. Although these chapters supply detailed information, most people need more preparation than simply reading the first 15 chapters of the book. This chapter details a set of tools and a study plan to help you complete your preparation for the exam.

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