Simply find a bank of Q&A and memorize them, another dangerous co-worker on the market. If one is going to bother to invest the time to prep to take the CCENT and they want to begin with SEC+ why wait to learn how to apply the information in the field? the exam is recommended for a candidate WITH experience , not one who can read and memorize a bank of question or some pages in a cram book. I am speaking for myself, I want quality applicants out in the market. I want to interview someone who can do the work, not merely repeat a few definitions. When a greenhorn is asking for recommendations, I would rather set them up with tools to be successful rather than grab up a few easy certs with the false confidence of being 'certified' and then adding to the long lines of unemployed cert holders who cannot understand why a company won't hire them when they hold 12 hot certs (with little experience or none at all). The Cisco track which many seem to follow gets pretty tough. The newbie needs to learn how to prepare for exams from the beginning.
