Exam Cram

First, it is important understand exactly what will and will not be covered in the exam. The Cisco Certified Network Associate (200-125) document provides a list of topics that must be included in your study plan as well as in your exam cram documents. Take a moment to review the list before planning your study time – you will be glad you did. All exam crams below are rated based upon a five star scale with five star means “highly recommended” and one star means “not recommended”.

In60Days.net – Rating:  (covers ICND1 material)

Essentially a slide show covering ICND1 material, this PDF exam cram is very well structured and covers the information that is most needed in a cram session before the exam. The slides include well designed graphics and tables, including one that presents a subnetting methodology that may be useful for those that have trouble with subnetting questions. Although this exam cram was designed in 2013, most all of the material is applicable and recommended for 200-125 exam study when combined with the In60Days.net ICND2 exam cram PDF.

If this exam cram fits your learning style, I recommend looking into the complete CCNA in 60 Days program which can be found here or by clicking the CCNA in 60 Days affiliate ad to the right.

In60Days.net – Rating: (covers ICND2 material)

Also a slide show PDF, the only difference between this exam cram and the previous exam cram above is the information it covers (ICND2 material rather than ICND1 material). Due to the slide show format this exam cram has more pages than most exam cram PDF documents, however the larger font and well structured graphics and tables enable the reader to move through the slides and through the entire document much faster than an exam cram which is half the size, making this exam cram an excellent choice when combined with the In60Days.net ICND1 exam cram PDF.

As with the ICND1 version of this exam cram, if it fits your learning style, I recommend looking into the complete CCNA in 60 Days program which can be found here or by clicking the CCNA in 60 Days affiliate ad to the right.

Simulationexams.com –Rating: 

This exam cram PDF has excellent structure which makes it easy to read. Most of the CCNA exam basic information is included such as CLI commands sets, and how to reset router passwords using rom mon mode. However, most of the first half of the exam cram mentions only the names of some important concepts, such as EIGRP, and use of wildcard settings in ACLs, but does not provide a refresher example on how to use them. Important concepts such as certain WAN protocols and RSTP are not mentioned at all.

PDFDrive.com – Rating:

At the time of this writing, the PDFDrive.com site had only the simulationexams.com exam cram PDF available, which is the reason for the rating. The site does include a large list of PDF books, however most are written for the 200-120 exam  and older which means the book usefulness and applicability for the 200-125 exam is limited.

ncat.co.uk – Rating: (for CLI exam cram study only)

This exam cram does one thing really well – provide examples of CLI commands pertinent to the exam, presented in a well organized table that can be followed and used for CLI practice before the exam.
