The test questions supplied by my How2Pass subscription were spot on in relation to the exam, a highly recommended site, certainly cheaper than many others.
Do not underestimate this exam it's solid, I've done many in my life and this was indeed the most difficult.
I found the sample labs to be very beneficial, these really ate a lot of exam time.
Just for info. the Open University are offering the CCNA as a complete 2nd year undergraduate degree course, this is no noddy qualification.
I did have an odd question, were I had to place the correct TYPE of Cisco router and label the interfaces it had in a diagram, example being one of the Routers was a 2500 and you could supply S0 or S0/0, F0 or F0/0 ports etc. it was an odd one, be warned.......
I had the Switch simlet (nearly identical) an EIGRP simlet, and one were you had to drag the IP addresses and devices, then configure the devices.
I got 871 (pass mark was 825 - 48 questions), I did the actual course last year, 2 weeks with Global Knowledge and spent ~35 hours preparing.
I'm going on to study my CCNP with the Open University, the courses start this year.
Good luck.
