Introduction
What Is This Book About?
Welcome to the CCNA Practice Questions Exam Cram, 2nd Edition! The sole aim of this book is to provide you with practice questions, complete with answers and explanations, that will help you learn, drill, and review for the CCNA exam.
Who Is This Book For?
If you have studied the CCNA exam's content and feel you are ready to put your knowledge to the test, but aren't sure you want to take the real exam yet, this book is for you! Maybe you have answered other practice questions or unsuccessfully taken the real exam, reviewed, and want to do more practice questions before going to take the real exam—then this book is for you, too!
What Will You Find in This Book?
As mentioned before, this book is all about practice questions! This book is separated according to the topics you will find in the CCNA exam. Each chapter represents an exam topic, and in each chapter you will find three elements:
Practice Questions—These are the numerous questions that will help you learn, drill, and review.
Quick Check Answers—After you have finished answering the questions, you can quickly grade your exam from this section. Only correct answers are given here—no explanations are offered yet!
Answers and Explanations—This section offers you the correct answers, as well as further explanation about the content posed in that question. Use this information to learn why an answer is correct and to reinforce the content in your mind for exam day.
You will also find a Cram Sheet at the beginning of this book specifically written for this exam. This is a very popular element that is also found in CCNA Exam Cram, Second Edition (Que Publishing, ISBN 0-7897-3502-4). This item condenses all the necessary facts found in this exam into one easy-to-handle tear card. The Cram Sheet is something you can carry with you to the exam location and use as a last-second study aid. Be aware that you can't take it into the exam room, though!
Hints for Using This Book
As this book is a paper practice product, you might want to complete your exams on a separate piece of paper so that you can reuse the questions over and over without having previous answers in your way. Also, a general rule of thumb across all practice question products is to make sure you are scoring well into the high 80 to 90% range in all topics before attempting the real exam. The higher percentages you score on practice question products, the better your chances for passing the real exam. Of course, we can't guarantee a passing score on the real exam, but we can offer you plenty of opportunities to practice and assess your knowledge level before entering the real exam.
