If you go to Cisco's website, click on training and events, and click on CCNA under Certifications, it will take you to a page that gives more information about the exam. Click on the link that says 640-802 CCNA. Then, you will see a link that says "Review type of exam questions," and there will be a link for a tutorial that shows you the types of questions to expect. If you have Todd Lammle's CCNA Study Guide by Sybex, he also goes over it in there in the beginning. Except that with going to the Cisco website and getting that information, you also get to see what a sample question format looks like and interact with it so you can get used to it before you see that format on the actual exam. Also, when I was reading said study guide, Todd mentioned that for the test format, you are not allowed to go back once you have answered a question. So make sure you try your best to answer all questions since you can't go back. I will say this, try not to spend too much time on any one question. Some questions will indeed take more time to answer than others and some questions may be able to be answered immediately which would save you some time. The first time I took the test, I failed to do this and it cost me in the end by a few points. When I took it the second time yesterday, I actually had a surplus of minutes when I finished the exam and passed it by more points than I failed it the first time. I also used the official Cisco Press books by Wendell Odom. It came packaged with a Boson testing software that includes practice tests. If you just so happen to have this set of books, that Boson software is awesome. Definitely utilize it if you have it. Hopefully this has been helpful, and I hope you do well on the exam when you take it.
