Hi. I will be taking my CCNA tomorrow and I'm mostly worried about the sims. Can anyone tell me some of the sims on the CCNA recently?

hardeepsanghera,
Good luck on your CCNA exam.
What has been posted here over the last few months -
ACLs - blocking telnet/ping(this has been discussed in GREAT detail here)
OSPF in a sing. area
RIP config
configuring interfaces with correct IP address (VLSM)
setting passwords
general trouble-shooting with very minor fixes
general switch setup
Go back a few pages and just look at the many posts here, you will see lots about sims.
I have passed both the CCNA 607 and CCNA 801 (4 sims - 2 each) and they were very straight forward sim questions, but I configured a stack of 5 routers - completly erasing them and configuring them one by one several times before taking the CCNA exam.
Once again GOOD LUCK and do not make it too hard - they are designed to be done in just a few min.

hardeepsanghera,
First, I'm surprised that all of these sims have been seen on tests in the past few months. All of the posts that I have seen on the subject of sims seems to be that NAT and OSPF seem to be the flavor of the quarter. I took the exam twice and had 1 OSPF sim each time. Others have two sims in a given test. I don't know how that happens, but it does.
I put off taking the exam by a week on the second try because I wanted to make sure I had my sims down pat. Saved my bacon and it was also a great learning experience. I can set up nat quite well now, and when I look at my old NAT config on my 1605, I kind of have to laugh at how much of a mess it looks. hardeepsanghera, my best advice is make sure you've done some structured simulations, this package can help a lot - It lacks labs with VLSM, but you can make them up yourself as well.
Be prepared to know your subnetting/supernetting, CIDR, and to answer any questions on VLSM. You can't pass without be proficient in these areas.
