640-801 scheduled for saturday

With just a few days left, I think I have most of the bases covered. I have read the Lammle book almost 2 times through, I use cisco.netacad.net online curriculum, Self test software (consistently scoring 100%), certsim (consistently scoring 950-970), network virtulizer, and lots of practice with packet tracer sims. I went to a cisco academy a couple of years ago so I do have experience with the actual hardware.

I feel strongly about most areas, but a few weak areas are isdn, and some frame relay concepts.

I am going to hit those areas hard over the next couple of days but is there anything else anyone would reccomend that I do in preparation? Also, what should I commit to memory to write down at the test site for quick reference?

any reply is much appreciated

You better nail those subjects that you are hazy in, down or you'll end up like me today.


I'd suggest noting down the powers of 2 and the CIDR notations, netmasks associated with them, and number of hosts in each network.


Thats what I did at least, and it helped. The only reason I did that is to give my self some protection against brain farting during the exam. The last thing I need is to miss a question on something like that, especially after I dedicated more time to subnetting than the other sections which probably is what lead to my demise.


I cannot think of what else to tell you (let alone what I can tell you ). Better cover the subjects that are hazy though, very thoroughly.
