You’ve already studied hard, and know the CCNA material inside and out, and can subnet with your eyes closed. You feel ready for the exam, before you go, here are 3 killer CCNA exam tips for you to ace the exam.
- Time management – The CCNA exam is as much a time game as it is a knowledge game. Many candidates fail because they cannot complete the exam in time, or are running out of time and panic. Don’t be one of them. Keep a close eye on the clock and don’t spend too much time on one question.
- Not all questions have the same weight – Note that not all the questions carry the same number of points. Only Cisco knows for certain, but it is accepted that the lab/simulation type questions carry many points and should not be skipped. In fact – take extra care when doing these questions, it is likely you will not pass the CCNA exam if these are not done well.
- Make use of your resources – By this I mean the erasable board and marker provided to you at every exam. I find it useful to write some handy subnet lookup tables on the erasable board as well as some simple HEX to binary to decimal conversions. This can be much quicker than doing them in your head. If you do this before you start the exam, this time will not be counted towards the total exam time. I usually do this before I take the Cisco survey at the start of every Cisco exam.
Hope this helps.
