Additional Resources

The primary source for your Cisco certification information should be straight from the horse's mouth. Be sure to visit the Cisco certification section on its Web page, which contains the test objectives that are covered by the 642-501. That certification information is located at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/current_exams/642-501.html.

Cisco also has a simulation tutorial, which demonstrates the test-question formats discussed in this chapter. We highly recommend visiting this site to become comfortable with the types of questions you will encounter. The link for that tutorial is http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/simulation/tutorial.html.

Another good practice is to browse newsgroups and get information from fellow test-takers to see whether they provide any feedback about the SECUR exam or the CCSP certification track. The newsgroup alt.certification.cisco is an excellent playground to meet new certification friends and tap their brains for information.

Coping with Changes on the Web

Change is inevitable, and the Web page references in this book are no exception. Unfortunately, we cannot control the altering of Web page references, so it might require additional digging to locate some of the resources listed.

If you are unfortunate enough to come across the Web-page error "404 File Not Found," do not give up hope. The Cisco Web site is in a constant state of flux and can probably locate the information if you perform a search. In addition, resources such as http://www.google.com , http://www.excite.com, and http://www.search.com can deliver a plethora of information when you perform a search for SECUR exam material.
