Passed CCNA today 982/1000. Used Cisco.TestKing.640-802.v23.0.by.Xpert.767q.vce just to make sure I understood the concepts in case they changed the exam from what has been recently advertised here. I have just completed a tutored CCNA course so this vce was really good to consolidate what I had aleady learnt.
I then focused on Cisco.CertifyMe.640-802.v13.02.by.Max.184q.vce for the actually exam. It was 95 percent valid. There were at least two or three questions I hadn't seen in any of the .vce's, but these may have been the survey questions that Cisco put in but which have no affect on your score.
Note there are a number of *.vces that have "v13.02" as part of their names and they all seem to be essentially the same eg "Cisco.KillTest.640-802.v13.02.by.Sohail.186q.vce" and "Cisco.CertifyMe.640-802.v13.2.by.Chamara.184q.vce". Studying any of them would do the job. But be careful. There is at least one question that has the wrong answer. It deals with static mac addressing. If, with your own knowledge of the subject , you suspect something is wrong with the given answer, check a couple of the other v13.02 vces for consistency.
Labs. Here I used 9tut.com. Great site. In my exam I had NAT/ACL configuration. It was a dynamic many to many, but I included the "overload" command just in case. Not sure if it was needed but I got 100% for that section so it did no harm.
Next lab was a pretty straight forward router config lab including enable secret, console and vty password setup, interface ip address, no shutdown and finally router rip ver 2. Don't forget to include the networks to advertise.
Finally I got a frame relay lab. This doesn't require any configuration but you are asked 5 questions and you use the console to show running config and frame relay map to retrieve the answers. Once again. 9tut.com is the place to prepare for these labs.
Time given was 1 and half hours and there were 48 questions including the labs. You CANNOT GO BACK on a question which means you cant go forward for a sneak preview of the type of labs, how many there are and where in the exam they are. Accordingly, you should keep a mental note of how many labs you have done and I guess you will get three but should be prepared for four just in case. So keep up up a good pace and don't get to last question with only a few minutes to spare because if its a NAT /ACL lab you'll be stuffed. I had 21 minutes left when I finished.
The questions are pretty much the same as the Max vce I used and in many cases even the addresses were the same...but don't count on this. Subnetting is an important and essential skill without which you will probably will not pass the exam even with a good vce! Be comfortable with CIDRs 20 through 30.
That's it dudes. Good luck. Catch you on the flip side
