Using This Book to Practice

This book is composed of eight chapters. Each of the first six chapters covers a domain, 

with a variety of questions that can help you test your real-world, scenario, and best prac-

tices networking knowledge. The final two chapters are complete practice exams that can 

serve as timed practice tests to help determine if you’re ready for the CCNA exam.

I recommend taking the first practice exam to help identify where you may need to 

spend more study time and then using the domain-specific chapters to test your domain 

knowledge where it is weak. Once you’re ready, take the second practice exam to make sure 

you’ve covered all of the material and are ready to attempt the CCNA exam.
