CCNA FAQs & Tips

September 6th, 2010 Go to comments

(Updated on Mar-31-2012)

CCNA is a long topic to talk about and there are many tips that can help you save much time when sitting in the exam hall. From the comments here and information from other places, this article tries to summarize all the CCNA frequently asked questions to save you some time. Please feel free to ask anything that you are unclear about CCNA so that all of us can help you. I will update this article frequently to bring you newest information about this exam.

1. Please tell me how many questions in the real CCNA exam, and how much time to answer them?

Until now, you have 90 minutes to answer 50 questions in the real CCNA exam but if your native language is not English, Cisco allows you a 30-minute exam time extension. But there are a few requirements to get this extension, so the best way is asking your teacher or mentor before taking the exam.

2. How much does the CCNA Exam 640-802 cost? And how many points I need to pass the exam?

It now costs $295 from Jan-16-2012 (big money, right?) :)

The passing score is 825/1000.

3. How many ways can I get the CCNA certification?

There are 2 ways to achieve this certification:

  • By taking two exams ICND-1 640-822 and ICND-2 640-816
  • By taking only one CCNA 640-802 exam

4. I got the CCNA certification, will this certification expire?

CCNA certification is valid for three years. To recertify, pass the ICND2 exam, or pass the current CCNA exam, or pass a CCNA Concentration exam (wireless, security, voice), or pass the current CCDA exam, or pass any 642 – XXX professional level or Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams), or pass a current CCIE or CCDE written exam.

5. After completing the INTRO exam (ICND 1), students currently have a three-year window in which to complete the ICND exam (ICND 2) to earn CCNA certification. Will this option still exist?

Yes, students will still be able to take and pass the first exam (INTRO or ICND1) and have a three-year window to pass the second exam (ICND2), before the first exam expires.

6. If students fulfill the exam requirements for the CCNA certification, will they also receive CCENT certification?

No, students who certify at the CCNA level will not earn CCENT certification. The purpose of the CCENT certification is to provide an option for those who aren’t ready for CCNA.

(Information from http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le0/le9/learning_certification_type_home.html)

7. Which sims will I see in the CCNA exam?

The popular sims now are EIGRP, VTP and Access-list 2 sims but no one can guarantee you will not see other sims in your exam. So the best way is practicing all sims on this site.

8. How many points will I get for one sim?

Well, Cisco doesn’t tell how many points you will get for each correctly solved sim but from my experience, you will get from 80 to 100 points for each sim. Cisco maybe is a bit rude for sims because you will just get a few points if you can’t solve the sim completely. So be careful with the sims and try to write all the commands on paper many times before taking this exam.

9. In the real exam, I clicked “Next” after choosing the answer, can I go back for reviewing?

No, this is a very important thing about CCNA exam. You can just go forward! You can visit http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/wwtraining/certprog/training/cert_exam_tutorial.html to be familiar with the exam interface.

10. What is the key to pass CCNA?

The CCNA exam covers many aspects of networking and most of the topics will be asked. But the most important topic is subnetting so make sure you understand how to subnet. Of course other topics are important too so you shouldn’t bypass them.

11. Can I use short commands, for example “conf t” instead of “configure terminal”? Will I get full mark for short commands?

It is another big question in the CCNA exam. Some reports said that you can use the “Tab” and short commands but some said they didn’t work. Sometimes the simulator in the exam doesn’t accept short commands and marks as “incomplete command”. Besides, no one can guarantee it will cost points or not if you use short commands so my recommendation is you should learn the full commands.

12. What are your recommended materials for CCNA?

There are many options you can choose, but below are materials used and recommended by many candidates:

Books:

The difference between CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration is “CCNA Discovery is designed for students with basic PC skills and can be delivered as an independent curriculum or integrated into broader courses of study at secondary schools, technical schools, colleges, and universities. CCNA Exploration is designed for students with advanced problem solving and analytical skills, such as those who are pursuing degrees in engineering, math, or science”. (Reference from “new CCNA faq”).

Video Training:

  • CBT Nuggets
  • Train Signal
  • Testout

From my point of view, these video are just optional materials and they cost much, you can definitely pass the CCNA exam without buying them. If you have strong budget and want to learn in a more comfortable way then buy them! (but it is difficult to pass if just listening to them without reading books, believe me!)

Simulators (luckily, they’re the best and free):

  • Packet Tracer (and you can get real exam labs on my site here)
  • GNS 3

GNS 3 is really good and it uses real IOS so all the commands are available but these IOS are copyrighted so it is hard to get. Besides, GNS 3 needs much RAM to run so from my experience you should use the Router c2600 with 64MB RAM to run if your labs are simple (like assign IP addresses, hostname, RIP…). If you need to configure OSPF or EIGRP, use higher router. These two simulators are enough to practice labs for CCNA but if you want to learn about other simulators, check out my Free Router Simulators article. Packet Tracer is light, quick and convenient for common tasks but sometimes it doesn’t act like real devices. A good point of Packet Tracer is that Cisco has many good labs (.pkt files) to practice with.

Websites & Forums:

About Dumps…

If you use dumps like pass4sure, Testking or ActualTest… make sure you understand the concept behind each question. It’s a very big mistake if you just learn which answer is correct without understanding the concept. Notice that in the real CCNA exam, you will be given different IP addresses, subnets and more options to choose; so it is easier to understand them than to learn them by heart. Finally, my advice is you just should use dumps as a final review after finishing the CCNA course.

13. How much time should I spend on each sim?

You should not spend more than 15 minutes for each sim. Recall that you only have 90 minutes so if you spend 15 minutes for each sim x 4 sims = 60 minutes (now the sims have been reduced to 3 but we calculate 4 sims for safe). The 30 minutes left is for solving 40 multiple choice questions. If you are not a native English speaker and have 30-minute expansion (ask your teacher or testing center to confirm) than you can spend 20 minutes for each sim.

14. Can I pass without doing sims?

As mentioned above, each sim will cost you from 80 to 100 points. In the real exam you will have to solve 4 sims that give from 320 to 400 points. Suppose you answer all other questions perfectly then you will get 600 to 680 points but the passing score is 825. It means that you surely fail if ignore them.

From the calculation above, if you miss only one sim the chance to pass is average but if you miss two, the chance to pass is very, very low.

15. I need to know if the exam questions are the same in all the geographical locations?

Yes, the exam questions are the same in all geographical locations. But notice that Cisco has a pool of questions and each time you take the exam, a number of random questions will show up so you will not see all the same questions as the previous exam.

16. I am going to take the exam in a few days and I wonder can we have a pen and paper for IP calculations or calculator itself?

You are not allowed to bring a calculator or anything else to the exam room. You can’t use the virtual calculator in Windows, too. You will receive a rough paper or a small board to write everything you need during the exam. However, you should bring a pen or a pencil because sometimes the exam hall doesn’t have one (yes, some exam centers are not good)  and maybe it will make you more comfortable.

17. I failed the exam. Will I see the same questions and sims in my next try?

Cisco has a pool of questions and sims so you will see some same (but surely not all) questions in your next exam. Luckily, the sims are the same (read question 7 for popular sims in the exam).

18. In the exam, how can I access to the routers in the simulator?

As you can see in the exam, there is always one PC connected to the router you need configure. Just click on this PC to be taken to the CLI of the router (no need to type telnet … or do anything else). Of course it is not true in real life but maybe Cisco did it that way to save you some time!

19. I am going to take the exam in a couple of days. Where can I get newest information from candidates who have just passed the exam?

You can visit the Share your experience section in this site, scroll down to the bottom of that page to read newest information about CCNA exam.I really want to say thanks to all candidates who are willing to share experience after taking the exam. It is an invaluable gift for CCNA candidates.

20. I passed CCNA. Do you have any site similar to 9tut.com for CCNP?

We have digitaltut.com for ROUTE, certprepare.com for SWITCH and networktut.com for TSHOOT, voicetut.com for CCNA Voice, securitytut.com for CCNA Security and dstut.com for CCDA. We also have an IT forum where you can discuss and ask questions with our technical experts (of course all are free). We always try our best to bring you newest information about these exams, hope you enjoy these sites too!

21. I am going to get my CCNA exam and I have a question: in the drag and drop questions are the answers must be arranged?

It depends on the questions. If the question clearly states that you have to arrange the answers in a given order (for example, from smallest to greatest; from lowest to highest; step 1,2,3…) then you have to arrange them correctly. In most cases, you don’t need to arrange them so don’t worry and don’t try to learn the order shown in the materials you use before taking the exam.

22. Hi all, I want to ask if out of 5 questions in the sim 1 or 2 questions are answered wrongly, do we get 0 marks for that sim or get something for other correct answers?
You still get points for the parts you answered correctly so try to answer as much as possible for that sim.

Is there anything you want to ask, just ask! All of us will help you.

  4. xallax
    October 30th, 2011

    @veeresh
    these are the question types that you will see on the exam too (single answer, multiple answer, drag and drop, sims).
    you have to master each topic and its concepts

  5. 9tut
    October 30th, 2011

    @veeresh: Besides 9tut, you should use some vce file to practice with. Please read in the “Share your CCNA experience” (http://www.9tut.com/share-your-experience) to find out the most popular vce.

    Hi. I’ll looking forward to my exam on November 8th.
    Can anyone tell me if, at the end of exam, you receive a feedback like in regular CCNA course exams? At the end of each final exam, there was a feedback mentioning chapters with stuff you got wrong. For FrameRelay, for example, it would be WAN-Ch. 2.

    Also, there was something mentioned about 15 minutes prior to exam, in which we should write down subnet stuff… does everybody get these 15 minutes? What are they officially for?

    hey, great site – thanks for doing this q&a here! preparing for the ccna exam these days, does anyone know if the help commands (questionmarks e.g. enabl? / enable ?) work the same in the sims? or do i have to exactly type and know everything by myself?
    i already read that TAB might not work and shor-commands may give less points
    thanks in advance -mic

    Found some useful tips on the exam here: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-2386
    Here is THE Document for exam:
    https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/2386-102-1-6573/CCNA%20Prep%20from%20Networkers.pdf

    Should answer to all questions related to the exam.

    1. Legend: You lose points if you use help “?”
    Truth: No penalty!
    2. Legend: You have to save your configs even if the
    simulation does not specifically request saving
    Truth: Grading based on running-config
    3. Legend: You lose points if you enter too many
    commands
    Truth: No penalty!

    Passed by CCNA exam today! The Sims were EIGRP, VTP and Access-list 2 and reviewing #7 on the above CCNA FAQs & Tips was all I needed to ACE these sections! That and prayer! :) Thanks so much for these website as even if I would have gotten all of these correct without it (doubtful) there is no way that I would have passed simply because I would have run out of time (I finished the 48th and last question with 4:51 left).

    Hi,

    I used the resources on this site and collosio dump. took the test today failed got 749, messed up on ACL 2 sim, put it on the wrong interface.

    Does anyone know if when I retake it will it have the same 3 sims, ACL2, vtp and eigrp? or should I prepare for the other sims too?

  20. s_abhishek

    A host is attempting to send data to another host on a different network. What is the first action that the
    sending host will take?
    A. Drop the data.
    B. Send the data frames to the default gateway.
    C. Create an ARP request to get a MAC address for the receiving host.
    D. Send a TCP SYN and wait for the SYN ACK with the IP address of the receiving host.

    Please advise which answer is correct B or C.

  21. xallax
    November 21st, 2011

    @s_abishek
    B.
    the destination is on a different network, the host will send the frames to its default gateway, the default gateway will route the packets to their destination (if reachable).

  24. s_abhishek
    November 23rd, 2011

    @xallax
    thanks for the answer, I also thought the same.
    But in Cisco CCNA (640-802) by Acme, C3PO & Dima-Dima, they are stating Correct answer is C i.e Create an ARP request to get a MAC address for the receiving host.

    @Xallax
    Please i don’t really understand how the passive-interface works (in the Eigrp sim); if it exists between the R1-R2 link or (R3, R4), how will i know and how do i remove it? How do i also know if it exist on R1 – ISP link?

    Also, i wrote CCNA about a year and half ago, will i get the same questions i got then or questions from the current dump (i just thought of it and wanted to be sure, that’s why i’m asking).
    Please help because i have registered again for the exam and it is next tomorrow.
    Thank you for your prompt response.

  26. xallax
    November 24th, 2011

    @bohseh
    you should watch the cbtnuggets ccnp videos to better understand eigrp and ospf.

    a passive-interface will NOT send or read any eigrp routing updates
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093f0a.shtml

    you have to check the running-config to see if there are any interfaces set as passive

    how to remove “passive-interface”? just undo it with a simple “no”: no passive-interface

    @xallax
    What is the difference if one takes the 604-802 exam directly or ICND1 and ICDN2 ?
    Which one would you recommend ?

  28. xallax
    November 28th, 2011

    @mojlighet
    difference: you only sit the exam once, you get half the number of questions if you take 802
    802 costs the same as 816+822, no advantage there

    the biggest advantage of taking 816+822 is that you only have to prepare half the material of the 802 exam.
    816 focuses on the pure basics, really easy to learn topics.
    822 focuses on getting you used to troubleshooting and getting you familiar with cisco devices. not as easy as icnd1, but still easy

    it’s your choice if you want to go for either of them, 802 or 816+822. also keep in mind that if you fail 802 you lose $250, if you fail once 822 or 816 you lose only $125…

    - 9tut.com for providing such extra-ordinary help to all CCNA potential contenders
    - And Acme’s Dumps :p

    Labs were the same (EIGRP, ACL 2, VTP) and questions were easy too apart from one or two new ones. Just be confident and hold ur nerves and trust me, u will get through :)

    Do I need to buy routers in order to work with GNS3 ? Or Is it a program like Packet Tracer so I just import the .iso files to run as many routers I want ?

    Thanks,

    @mojlighet
    GNS3 works by emulating devices.
    you import the IOS files and you can have as many routers as you wish

    Dear all,

    My apology as this is not the right forum to ask this.

    Last month I passed my CCNA (thanks to this site) and gotten myself a job as IT Support. The role involves interacting with Microsoft Servers and I would like to get myself up to speed with these techs by undertaking an MSCE. Could someone please point me in the right direction as far as reading materials and sites like this one are concerned?
    email: 7lynab7@gmail.com

    Many thanks

    I took the CCENT 640-822 exam on 11/21/2011 and was FORCED by the testing center to use a f**king piece laminated cardboard and an erasable marker!! I was not happy about that! C’mon Man!! We are adults here! Why do we have to use kindegarten writing utensils! I am going to complain and complain and complain and complain and complain and complain and complain until they change that VERY VERY STUPID STUPID policy! I find it difficult to believe that I am forced to use the equivalent of crayons to perform complex subnetting computations! They cannot be serious!! What a f**king discrace to Cisco! Hell, I will go in there naked and take the stupid test if they will give me a pencil and paper! I don’t care, as long as I get the PROPER WRITING UTENCILS to pass the test! What a joke! I cannot sit there and write down rows and rows of ip addresses figuring out route summarization and VLSM questions with a god***ed erasable maker and cardboard! C’MON Man! Who ever thought that would be sufficent has never performed subnetting or supernetting!

    @mike
    you have to play by their rules.

    on a side note: you should be able to do subnetting and binary to decimal and vice-versa in your mind at the ccent level.
    please read 9tut’s tutorial on that

    Can help with the picture link ?

  77. 9tut
    January 2nd, 2012

    @Meng: I saw your image. Here is the answer:

    The Acknowledgement number field contains the next sequence number that the sender of the acknowledgement expects to receive. This is therefore the sequence number plus 1 of the last successfully received byte of data. In this case the receiver expects to receive Packet 4 so it sends an ACK of 4.
