    I used the following:

    Paid/borrowed: Cisco Press book for CCNA 2nd Ed., CCNA(accelerated) bootcamp course with New Horizons

    Free downloads: Yap Chin Hoong's "CCNA Complete Guide", Joshua Plata's "Introduction to subnetting", ICND Review Questions (All modules) on cisco.com, CCNA Exam Topics (wikipedia'd the topics on cisco's website)

    The only labs I used were during the bootcamp and configuring the routers/switches on which I work at my job. Personally, I think I would have passed the exam without the bootcamp but I would have missed one of the sims on the test.

    Hilariously, I spent 30 minutes on that single question determined to answer it correctly and still finished the exam in 65 minutes.

    NAT/ACLs were my worst section. Everything else I had a pretty much perfect score on. :]

    Did those happen to be the sim questions or just multiple choice? Did you actually have to build lists for NAT and ACL's?

    NAT and ACLs were my favourite. I took a tip from here and over studied on those areas as I heard a lot of people found those hard. WAN too. I took the advice that if loads of people say its scary then it probably is.
    I'm an Xpert at nothing apart from remembering useless information that nobody else cares about.
