    What books and video tutorials do you have?

    There's no 'cheating' with this exam, you have to learn the theory and the practical work on this certification. Don't cut corners, because it'll bite you in the butt one day.

    By what you listed, you have plenty of material to pass the exam.

    It would help to know what books and videos you have in your possession. The real key is understanding the fundamentals and labbing to prove it out. Once you see the theory in practice it comes together quite nicely. Don't expect straight reading and watching CBTs to get you through the whole shebang, you'll need hands on playtime to get comfortable with it.

    As others have said, it's not possession of study materials that makes one a CCNA, but understanding of concepts.

    FWIW, I passed CCNA with a nearly perfect score after spending ~6 months evenings reading documentation on Cisco.com and practicing at the home lab extensively.

    cisco has levels in studying networking like introduction to networking and computer networking protocols and other levels.

    it better to understand their levels and syllabus of each level.

    i'm studying every chance I get and I actually learned quite a bit when I was buying hardware for my lab I put in my office at work. GNS 3 is great if you can find the images but nothing beats having the hardware and knowing what the material looks like in hand. Good luck in your studies don't rush take your time and learn it.
