  Here within the next few weeks I play to start studying for my CCNA exam. This is suppose to be a bitch of an exam so I've planned on setting it all out tactically first and then move in. My tools of attack.

  Evernote-For planning it all out and keeping track of everything.

  The Cisco Website- I've found some great links point around this website. The first site

  will kind of be my outline for the way I plan about going at this with Plan B in mind just because I don't have the time to devote to doing this every single day plus I have some background over some of the topics so I'd rather just gain more knownledge instead of relearning it.

   

  There are 8 sections outlined in the640-802 Exam Topics (Blueprint) [https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-4976].

  
  

  if you take a week to master each section makes it 8 weeks.

  Add 2 extra weeks for any topic extra difficult for you to master.

  1 week to extra practice the hands on portion of the exam

  Adding a week to review before the test makes it 90 days start to finish.

   

  I'll use something like Evernote to create the plan of study of this.

  appears to really be pretty fantastic. It gives a full background on the test as well as a number of free resources to study from. If properly planned I should be able to string those along pretty well or at least pull out that week's perticular information and make notes of where information for that week can be found. 

   

  With doing each week's research and studying I plan on doing some Packet Tracert labs as well. I'm part of a group on LinkedIn that's devoted to Packet Tracet and do most of their work from

  The labs look really interesting and they include the answer sheet in case you get stuck.  I'd like to create a new blog post every week detailing what I'm doing and then as the week goes on I'll add to it.  I'm always looking for anyone's help or any study partners are always a great help. :) Please feel free to add any insight or any information you might of found to help.
