I just finished the Cisco's CCNA exam. I got 80%. Kinda of tough. Here's my braindump:
1.) Two questions on which is the network part and which is the node address part of both an IP and IPX address.
2.) Many answers could be found by process of elimination. Cisco put alot of silly possibile answers that are easy to check off.
3.) At least 10 question (possibly more) on the OSI layers.
a.) What level do JPEG, MPEG correspond to?
b.) What level do SQL, RPC correspond to?
c.) Question on the encapsulation process (data-segment-packet-frame-bit).
d.) Many other questions on each and every OSI layer.
4.) What context and how to configure banners (config)#banner motd #
5.) I had about 5 IP subnetting questions. Again, there were many silly possible answers that made it easy to eliminate to get the real answer.
6.) One question on the Cisco 7000 series switch/router and how to specify which slot/adapter/port# (not sure exactly though).
7.) About 5 qustions on access lists. Mainly standard access list but some extended ones.
8.) Some questions about matching a protocol to a certain OSI layer. eg. ICMP (which OSI layer -->network)
9.) About 3-4 questions on viewing and configuring Frame-Relay on a Cisco router (encapsulation/LMI type). This was a weak area for me.
10.) That's all I can remember. Good Luck!

MCNE, MCSE + I, A+, and now CCNA!
CCNA #640-403
Well took the exam 6/5/99, and pass with an 71%... Close I know!!!
The exam truely tests your understanding the CISCO ISO.
Know the OSI and the DOD models and know how and at what layers they interact.
I had two question on Apple talk. (hint, know all the access list numbers)
I had very few subnetting questions, but you must know what the valid host numbers are for a given subnet.
Most of the questions require you to pick several answers out of a large group.
Memorize where the protocols fit into the OSI model. <--------its a pain in the ass but do it!!!!
Best of luck,

Hello all
I'd like to thank evey1 for posting all the tips. i passed CCNA test today with 74%, score could've been better if i had studied little harder, but hey i'm certified, it's all that matters. Some tips on the test.
I got lot of questions on IPX access list and in general.
Couple of
