How I Studied for My CCNA

Hello, everyone! In this article, I will go over what I used and the process of how I studied for my CCNA. To give it to you all straight, I was off and on with the CCNA for a total of 3 years. I started studying for the CCNA in 2020, but ended up starting with CompTIA certifications, and then throughout the next 3 years, and with added work experience, I dipped into CCNA content here or there. Then, I got serious with it around the time I became a network technician, and read all the material and practice exams, and watched the videos to fully pass the exam.
First Source (A Good Book)

The very first source that helped me study for the CCNA exam is of course, the Wendell Odom CCNA Official Cert Guide: https://a.co/d/0iTxHJWd
I picked both volume 1 and 2 on Amazon, and started off with Volume 1, as you should. I was working at my first IT job at a private school, and I was fortunate enough to take home a couple physical Catalyst 2950 Cisco switches.
