CCNA exam information and study resources for 640-802, 640-812, 640-822

Videos:
CBTNuggets, INE.com, TrainSignal.

Labs:
GNS3, Boson NetSim, Cisco Packet Tracer

They're all good. I've used all the material here. But I used the Cisco Press CCNA library.

The Cisco Press books for ICND1 and ICND2 by Odom, are good. Also, the CCNA book Todd Lammle is awesome. In addition to books, I'd suggest some videos.. CBT nuggets or Trainsignal are both good sources. I used all of these sources, plus packet tracer ( a free simulator), when I got my CCNA and it was more than enough. Getting information from different sources is never a bad thing.. sometimes one person will explain it in a way you understand better, and that can kick start everything. In addition, just using google and posting questions on the forum can work wonders. Good luck to ya!

I did a review after I finished my CCNA.

Odom is very good and love the look/feel/read of the the Lammle books. I enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy through a local community college and I really like the materials, labs, and using Packet Tracer.
