Introduction

What Is This Book About?

Welcome to the CCNA Practice Questions Exam Cram! The sole purpose 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 640-802, 640-822, and 640-816 certification exams. The book offers a large number of questions to practice each exam objective and will help you assess your knowledge before you write the real exam. The detailed answers to every question will help reinforce your knowledge about different issues involving the design and configuration of Cisco networks.

Who Is This Book For?

If you have studied the content for the 640-802, 640-822, or 640-816 exams and feel you are ready to put your knowledge to the test, but you are not sure that 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 retaking the real exam; this book is for you, too! Even when the exam is done and you have passed with flying colors and got the CCENT or CCNA certificate in your pocket, keep the book handy on your desktop to look for answers to your everyday Cisco configuration issues.

What Will You Find In This Book?

As mentioned earlier, this book is all about practice questions! The practice questions in the book, some easy and others containing more complicated problem scenarios, are all aimed at raising your confidence level before writing the real exam. You will find questions that, in fact, you will face in real life.

This book is organized according to the objectives published by Cisco for the following exams:

Exam 640-802: CCNA

Exam 640-822: ICND1

Exam 640-816: ICND2

The book has been organized to help direct your study to specific objectives. If you are studying only for the ICND1 exam (640-822), you only need to review Chapters 1–6. If you are studying for the ICND2 (640-816) exam, you should focus your studies on Chapters 7–11 (although, reviewing Chapters 1–6 may be helpful). If you are studying for the CCNA all-in-one exam, study through the whole book!

Each chapter corresponds to an exam objective, and in every chapter you find the following three elements:

• Practice Questions—These are the numerous questions that will help you learn, drill, and review exam objectives. Some of the questions are multiple choice, others are matching (simulating the drag-and-drop style questions on the exam), and others are entering configurations (simulating the simulation style questions on the exam). Choose the correct answer based on your knowledge of Cisco networks.

• Quick Check Answer Key—After you have finished answering the questions, you can quickly grade your exam from this section. Only correct answers are given in this section. No explanations are offered yet! Even if you have answered a question incorrectly, do not be discouraged. Just move on! Keep in mind that this is not the real exam. You can always review the topic and do the questions again.

• Answers and Explanations—This section provides correct answers as well as further explanations 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 the exam day.

You will also find a Cram Sheet at the beginning of the book specifically written for the exam day. The Cram Sheet contains core knowledge that you need for the exam. The Cram Sheet condenses all the necessary facts found in the exam into an easy-to-handle tear card. It is something you can carry with you to the testing center and use as a last-second study aid. Be aware that you cannot take the Cram Sheet into the exam room, though!

Hints for Using This Book

Because 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 exams 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 that 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 cannot guarantee a passing score on the real exam, but we can offer you plenty of opportunities to practice and assess your knowledge levels before you enter the real exam.

When you have completed the exam on paper, use the companion MeasureUp CD to take a timed exam. This will further help you gain confidence and make a self-assessment in case you need more study. Your results will indicate the exam objectives in which you need further study or hands-on practice.

Customer Reviews

EXAM CRAM is appropriate title!
This book is excellent for someone who is working in the networking field, has a lot of experience with switches and routers, needs to recertify, or someone with limited time to study but has previous knowledge. It is not a book for learning networking basics.

My experience with Certification Tests is that knowing the basics will get you through; i.e. IP subnetting, OSI layers, configurations. The CD that accompanies this book has over 300 questions covering the objectives of the new 640-802 test. There are simulations with commands for configuring router interfaces and VTP/VLANs in switches.

The explanations seem to be accurate and concise. These explanations for the most part not only spent time on the correct answer, but why the other choices were not good. I did find one of the simulations that did not "exit" properly. The simulator did not handle errors and unexplained characters well--all error messages were labeled the same "Invalid Command".

There were many troubleshooting questions; the output from commands were displayed in easy to read format and the questions were clear. There is much more emphasis on troubleshooting in this new test.

One interesting change from older products in this line is the ability to see a "quick" answer or a full explanation. This is nice as students study to get quick answers--assuming they already know why the answer is the best!

The Cram Sheet in the front of the book is very nice--a great read right before the test.

My main concern with the book is it is hard to cover all the objectives with only 300 questions on the CD. The questions in the book were grouped according to subject; again, more practice questions on the CD would be nice. Given all the variables of background coming into the CCCNA, I would like to see how someone who uses only this text does on the exam.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!
If you have studied the content for the 640-802, 640-822, or 640-816 exams and feel you are ready to put your knowledge to the test, but you are not sure that you want to take the real exam yet, this book is for you. Author Jeremy Cioara, has done an outstanding job of writing the third edition of this book to provide you with practice questions complete with answers and explanations to help you learn, drill, and review for the 640-802, 640-822, and 640-816 certification exams.

Cioara, begins by describing how a network works. Then, the author shows you how to implement a small switched network. The author also describes routing operations. He continues by looking at how to implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements for a small branch office. Then, the author discusses how to implement a small, routed network. Next, he explains and shows you how to select the appropriate administrative tasks required for a WLAN and Identify security threats to a network and describe general methods to migrate those threats. The author continues by showing you how to implement and verify WAN links. Then, he shows you how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot a switch with VLANs and interswitch communications. He continues by looking at how to implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements in a medium-size Enterprise branch office network. Next, the author shows you how to configure and troubleshoot basic operations and routing on Cisco devices. He also shows you how to implement, verify, and troubleshoot NAT and ACLs in a medium-size Enterprise branch office network. Finally, the author continues showing you how to implement and verify WAN links.

This most excellent book offers a large number of questions to practice each exam objective that will help you assess your knowledge before you write the real exam. Perhaps more importantly, the detailed answers to every question will help reinforce your knowledge about different issues involving the design and configuration of Cisco networks.

Dont buy digital version
This book has solid content and realistic CCNA questions. However, do NOT buy the digital version as I have (on my iphone using the Kindle app). In the digital version, half of the questions are cut off at the bottom of the page. Be sure to just by the hard copy or use an "actual" kindle.
