The book will include: -- Visual calendar summarizing each day -- Checklist for the CCENT exam providing advice for activities leading up to the exam -- Description of the CCENT Exam and how to sign up for the exam including how to use a voucher -- Description of exam day and important strategies to be mentally, organizationally, and physically prepared for the exam The daily sections of the book will be organized around the CCENT objectives, yet explained using information summarized from the Academy Curriculum courses (Networking for Home and Small Business, and Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP). Each day focuses around the knowledge needed to accomplish the objective. These sections will not be comprehensive, but rather provide a good key CCENT exam related points summary for review. The success and uniqueness of this book lies in the fact that it is a link between the Cisco Academy Curriculum and the actual CCENT objectives.
