There's this guy that goes by the Celtic Rover that has a great site of test questions that are basically from the 1st and 2nd year Cisco Academy text books. Some of his answers are wrong in some cases but I've seen that he's corrected alot of it.

Two other things that they REALLY drive into you are the OSI Model and Subnetting. Try these two links for those topics:

Hope this info helps you out!

Best book method is ICND courseware. DOnt necc need cisco router, may be cheaper to buy a simulator software but then again if u are gonna do CCNP and are amiming ahead,do it on the router, better for the long run
