choices carefully, because close doesn't cut it. If you get commands in the
wrong order or forget one measly character, you'll get the question wrong.
So, to practice, do the hands-on exercises at the end of the chapters over and
over again until they feel natural to you.
Also, never forget that the right answer is the Cisco answer. In many cases,
more than one appropriate answer is presented, but the correct answer is the
one that Cisco recommends.
The CCNA 640-607 exam includes the following test formats:
Multiple-choice single answer
Multiple-choice multiple answer
Drag-and-drop
Fill-in-the-blank
Router simulations
In addition to multiple choice and fill-in response questions, Cisco Career
Certifications exams may include performance simulation exam items.
As practice in Cisco router command sequences, both router simulator
and question simulation software has been included on this book's CD.
However, RouterSim.com has created a perfect companion for the Sybex
CCNA 3rd Edition study guide, called the Cisco 607 CCNA Simulator, that
matches perfectly to the new Cisco CCNA 607 exam. Use the software
included in this book, and for extra study material, check out the software
at www.routersim.com that accepts partial responses just as an actual Cisco
router will.
The software on the CD and at RouterSim.com provides step-by-step
instruction on how to configure both Cisco routers and switches. However,
router simulations in Cisco proctored exams will not show the steps to fol-
low in completing a router interface configuration. They do allow partial
command responses. For example, show config or sho config or sh conf
would be acceptable. Router #show ip protocol or router # show ip
prot
would be acceptable. The exam commands must include the correct
spacing, spelling, and punctuation marks (such as #@!?).
Here are some general tips for exam success:
Arrive early at the exam center, so you can relax and review your
study materials.
Read the questions carefully. Don't jump to conclusions. Make sure
you're clear about exactly what each question asks.
