To learn how to find out the latest CCNA test information from the CISCO website

Open a browser window
Navigate to www.cisco.com. You should see something like this (remember web pages are
frequently updated so you may have to “wing it” a bit…never rely on the web to stay the
same
Next, on the left hand side you should see a link under the “Learning and Events”
link. After clicking on it then you should see
click on the link for “exam information.”
Click on the link for “Certification Exams.” It will take you to the page for current
exams and outlines (isn’t that nice?).
Click on the link for the current CCNA exam (probably the one at the top) when
this book went to print it was “640-801” and another window should open.
Again, scroll down a bit and you should see some available options (hyperlinks).
Let’s “dissect” the page a bit…some helpful links and information:
The “Preview Course Simulation Lab” link will open another page. To learn
more about the simulation tool, use the graphic tutorial links. You may want to
spend some time going through the instructions. Figure out if short-cut
keystrokes are allowed or not. Your actual CCNA exam may contain some of
these simulations.
Also look at the description of exam topics. Yeah, I know…they stink. It is kind
of getting a recipe with no name and just some of the ingredients without any sort
of instructions or amounts to use. Just make sure you feel comfortable with the
subjects. The typical Cisco test over parts 1 through 3 will also require you to
know parts 4, 5, and 6. Take that sentence for what you want. Use this to guide
your studies as you progress through your CCNA training. Not every one of
those topics is covered here in this book because this book was not designed to
replace the Cisco curriculum, but to be used to enhance and supplement it.
