What are Certification Zone Study Guides?

The Study Guides published at this website focus on the topics you'll be tested on when attempting the exams you must pass to earn Cisco's CCNA�, CCNP™, and CCIE™ certifications. Certification Zone seeks out highly skilled, Cisco certified networking professionals to author each Study Guide.

Each Study Guide generally consists of three parts:

Tutorial - concise, reader friendly overviews that explain the featured topic's key technical concepts. In the Tutorial section of the Study Guide, the Author's objective is to advise readers what they must know about the topic to be able to solve the types of problems addressing it when taking the actual exams.

Sample Questions - the Author prepares at least 25 carefully constructed questions designed to assess the reader's knowledge of the featured topic. These questions are generally a bit more difficult than those you would encounter on the real-life exam. Don't worry though, the Study Guides include the correct answers and complete explanations for each question.

Lab Scenarios - Whenever the Study Guide topic is appropriate, the Author provides challenging lab scenarios that permit the reader to apply her/his knowledge of the featured topic to a real world networking application. These scenarios are especially valuable now that Cisco is including real-world router simulation questions even on their written exams.

How do Certification Zone Study Guides help me pass Cisco's exams?

Regardless if you're just beginning to prepare for a specific exam or you're about to attempt one for the first time, the Study Guides available at this website can help you be successful. That's because they are designed to provide three important benefits:

1) They help you clear away the technical clutter that surrounds many networking protocols and technologies so that you can focus your hard-to-find study time on the key technical concepts you must master to score well on the exams.

2) They help you quickly figure out what you do and don't know about a topic so you can put together a more efficient study plan.

3) In addition to helping you learn when a protocol or technology is appropriate to use, ZONE Study Guides also help you understand when they should not be used. Understanding both cases is critical to your success both on Cisco exams and on-the-job.

4) They lead you to key additional sources of advice and information for those topics you're having the most trouble understanding.

What are Certification Zone Practice Exams?

Certification Zone Practice Exams for the CCNA, CCNP and CCIE address the same technical topics as their real-life counterparts. They are computer based tests. You download each Practice Exam from Certification Zone's server, complete the test and submit your answers on-line. Within a few seconds of submission, exam-takers receive a scoring summary that informs them of their final score, identifies their incorrect answers, and provides them with the answers and explanations for those questions they answered incorrectly.

How are the Practice Exam's at CertficationZone.com different from the actual tests?

Certification Zone attempts to create Practice Exams that are a bit more difficult than Cisco's. Our goal is to test your knowledge of the technical topics that Cisco includes in their exam blueprints. Our Practice Exams force you to use your knowledge and real-life experience with routers to solve problems of a slightly higher technical level than those on the actual certification exams. We want you to feel confident that if you can correctly answer Certification Zone's questions you will be able to answer Cisco's.

We feel we can get away with making our questions a bit tougher because of the scoring analysis you receive when you submit your answers to a ZONE exam. In addition to providing an overall score, your analysis tells you how well you did on each question and provides complete, reader friendly explanations for each answer. By carefully reviewing the Certification Zone explanations to those questions you answered incorrectly, you'll be focusing your certification preparation efforts on those specific areas you need to study.

What do Certification Zone Subscribers receive?

As soon as your Certification Zone subscription begins, you gain access to all of the Study Guides available in Certification Zone's on-line Study Guide Library.
During the course of your subscription, you will receive access to all of the new Study Guides added to the site and maintain that access until you permit your subscription to expire.

ZONE Subscribers also get to take four Practice Exam-takes for every month of their ZONE subscription, at no additional cost. For example, when you sign up for a 12-month ZONE subscription you'll be able to take up to 48 ZONE Practice Exams of your choice at any time during your active subscription period. It would cost you over $300 to purchase this many exam-takes if you were not a ZONE subscriber.
