Here's a good book to study the CCENT --->

2.) To ensure that you are well prepared for this Cisco certification, use practice exams to be prepared for these exams. I like to use Transcender for practice exams, as they provide a guarantee that you will pass your exams on the first try. They also provide eLearning courses and virtual lab simulations.

3.) I recommend you invest in some Cisco networking equipment like routers and switches so you can practice with real life scenarios. Cisco equipment can be expensive but don't let that stop you. You can use more affordable models like the Cisco 1841 or Cisco 2811 and get enough training for your certification. You can buy these from Tigerdirect.com.

TigerDirect.com Type in the search box Cisco 1841 or Cisco 2811 for routers or type Cisco switches in the search box to find a switch.

Also try eBay.com for great pricing on Cisco equipment!

Register for your exam:

You can schedule your exam and set a deadline to ensure you get a little push towards earning your Cisco CCENT. If you don't set a goal to a specific date of when you are to take the exam then you will most likely brush it off. This can play mind tricks in your head and you will continue to procrastinate. That can be your own enemy.

I am not saying to rush into the exam. I strongly recommend that you set a date with enough time for you to prepare without rushing. You want to study hard and earn this certification. This will make you very proud and give you a great sense of accomplishment.
