When you meet a person that has CCNA, you will notice that he or she knows something about networks. This article describes and gives you some tips on how to achieve CCNA. I did, if you can, so lets get started. 1. Getting ready mentally: First thing you have to do is mentally prepare your car. What I mean is you have to think seriously about what's CCNA and why you want to be CCNA certified. You have to decide and I firmly believe you will find in the next 3-6 months or CCNA. Try to budget your study time. If you are a very social person (like me) have to give up part of their social time for the next two months. Friends and family can understand.

# 2 Getting the right study material: Second thing you must do is get the appropriate study material. There is much controversy around it and some people go overboard with study guides, books, simulators and others. I believe that two Cisco Press books and intr ICND by Wendell Odom are enough as far as books go. They are really well written and easy to follow. So join the [http://www.ciscopress.com] and get the two books. Make sure you got the latest version. You will also want to get some sort of simulator that you can practice the commands and will also build your confidence. You can buy real equipment but that could be expensive. I highly recommend that you become a member of the Cisco certification forum. Forum is huge and you will get many useful answers, tips and advice quickly. (I know I did)

# 3 Approach and deep diving: There are many different approaches to study the books, but I'll tell you mine. This will take most of your study time. -Before you even start reading any of the books I suggest learning binary math (really easy) and subnetting so you can do in your sleep. http / / www.learntosubnet.com is excellent resource. -Read both books again from the front to cover (make sure you cover introduction and practice questions too). This will give you a good overview. -Install both the CD that came with books and practices some of the questions. Do not worry if you get a lot of them wrong. -Now you ready both books again but this time you will read just to understand the concept and how things work. Master one chapter and come to questions of this chapter until you sick of it. Then go to the next chapter. -Once you mastered all chapters do lot of questions and labexercises. These two CDs will give you the opportunity to do so. 4th
