5. Read both books one more time to refresh.
This is optional, but I highly recommend reading the both books one more time. If you read both books in a three week that will give you one more week before the test to cram which is subject of the next step.
So by now you should’ve read both books three times over. I also suggest re-reading questions and answers from both books one more time.

6. Cram, Cram and Cram -This is the last part of your study and there is no turning back. Deadline is hanging around your neck like a noose. You should cram Q&A for no more then 10 days before you take the test.
At this point it is really important that you get fresh and different questions then those included with your CD’s. Some people claims that brain dumps or Q&

CCNA is one of the most respected Associate level Certification in the world today.
Getting a CCNA will definitely help you to get a better job or at least get your foot into Professional Networking Field. When you meet a person that has CCNA degree you will notice that he or she knows something about Networking.
This article will describe and give you some tips on how to achieve CCNA.
I did it so can you, so lets get started.


• 1. Getting ready mentally:
  First thing you need to do is mentally prepare your self. What I mean by that is that you have to seriously think about on why are you getting CCNA and why do you want to be CCNA certified. You have to firmly decide and believe that you will get CCNA within next 3-6 months or so.
  Try to budget your study time well. If you a very social person (like me) you will have to give up some of your social time for the next couple of months.
  Your friends and family will understand. Trust me: it is well worth it. Once you get that cert you can make up for the lost social time.
  
  

• 2. Getting the right study material:
  Second thing you need to do is to get proper study material.
  There is lot of controversy around this and some people go overboard with study guides, books, simulators and such.
  I believe that two Cisco Press books INTR and ICND by Wendell Odom are enough as far as the books go. They are really well written and easy to follow. So sign up at http://www.ciscopress.com and get those two books. Make sure you got the latest version.
  You will also want to get some kind of a simulator that will let you practice commands and that will also build up your confidence.
  You can buy real equipment but that could get expensive. I highly recommend that you become member of Cisco Certification forum.
  Forum is huge and you will get lot of helpful answers, tips and advices pretty quick. (I know I did)
  
  

• 3. Approach and diving deep:
  There are many different approaches to studying from books but I will tell you about mine. This step will take the most of your studying time.
  -Before you even start reading any of the books I suggest learning binary math (really easy) and subnetting so you can do it in your sleep.
  http//www.learntosubnet.com is excellent resource. -read both books casually once from front to cover (make sure you cover introduction and practice questions too). This will give you good overview.
  -Install both CD’s that came with books and practices some of the questions. Don’t worry if you get lot of them wrong.
  -Now, you will ready both books again but this time you will have to read it to truly understand the concept and how things work. Master one chapter and do questions from just that chapter until you sick of it. Then move to the next chapter.
  -Once you mastered all chapters do lot of questions and labexercises. Those two CD’s will give you ability to do that.
  
  

  4. Schedule the test:
  You’re not done yet with studying but it is really good to schedule the test after you completed step 3 in this article. Here is why:
  If you schedule the test a month in advance right after you completed step 3, you won’t be able to slack and make excuses not to study hard until tests and it is also good to give your self a headline. I have seen people working on their CCNA for 2 years. They master one or two chapters, then they rest for 2 two months and right when they think they are ready for the next chapter, they forget what they have learned in the first chapter.

  Environmental Noise -- How it Hurts Us, and How We Can Silence It
  Although its presence lingered unaddressed for many years, environmental noise is now recognized as a significant health issue. Environmental or ambient noise is unwanted or harmful outdoor sound created by human activities, including noise emitted by means of transport - road traffic, rail traffic, air traffic - and from sites of industrial activity. From delivery trucks to air conditioners, we are constantly bombarded by sounds that go unnoticed for the most part. However, out-of-earshot should not mean out-of-mind. It is precisely these innocuous environmental noises that should be sounding an alarm.Those involved with the more obvious noise sources such as airports, shooting sports, manufa

  5 Killer Tips to Successful Real Estate Investing
  1. Always do comparisons on property values and rents.Do not rely solely on statistics. The best way to gauge a property's market value is to check the sales prices of similar properties in the vicinity.The same goes for the value of rents in the area. If the price is low, you can justify it with a decent rental value as tenants who can afford to pay high rent may well opt to purchase the property themselves.Thus be reasonable on the rental prices.2. Stay alert as tax laws may changeDon't bet on current tax laws for your tax investment. The tax code is always evolving and regardless of the tax code, a great investment will remain just that; a great investment.A

  Our Future in Technology
  The word ‘technology’ is often associated with ideologies about the future and the advancement of society. Although this statement may be true to a limited extent in that technology is about foreseeing the future, technology and advancements in technology are also largely about the present. For example, younger generations are now more skilled in the use of Internet as well as there being an increase in the popularity of computer games. Hence, although there are some negative impacts associated with spending too much time on the Internet and using the Internet as a primary source of research, the present level of encouragement for using technology in schools has helped us as a society prepare for the d

I tend to disagree with that. At this point you already firmly grasped the whole CCNA concept and Q&A will only help you. So get some Q&A exam question and cram, cram and cram them for a week.
  Don’t use books or CD’s anymore. There is no looking back. No worries, material from the books will return to you at the right time.
  -Don’t do any studying a night or a day before the test. Go out with your wife or significant other to a dinner and a movie. Relax. It is very important to relax and get a good night sleep since one of those testing boots could really be intimidating. If you did all the steps above and read books with intention to understand the topics and how stuff works (no pun intended), and not just to pass the test you should be more then ready by now.
  
  

  We came to an end of this short tutorial. I hope this article give you at least some ideas on how to approach studying for CCNA.
  If you fail CCNA first time, don’t get discouraged. You will have more knowledge and confidence when you attempt it the next time then the person who passed it on the first try. Whatever approach you take I wish you good luck and prosper career.
