If you're working your way into a career in networking, you may want to have a discussion with the Educational Directors at Varsity Tutors about CCENT test prep. We can set you up with CCENT courses that center on your specific needs to give you an efficient prep experience. Reach out to Varsity Tutors today or keep on reading so we can tell you all about how CCENT classes could help you on test day.
When you sign up to work with CCENT tutors, you're getting undivided attention from an expert in networking and test prep to cover the things you need to better understand for the exam. Whether you need to learn how to identify bad ports on a switch, set up a subnet for a department, or implement an access control list, CCENT prep instructors can help you every step of the way. If you're not sure what you should focus on to feel better prepared for the exam, your CCENT course instructor can assess your capabilities and come up with a customized study plan that focuses on your best opportunities to perform at your full potential on test day.
When you study for your Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) designation, you'll have the opportunity to work through many course assignments. Your CCENT class instructor can work through these with you, giving you explanations and support while you learn to ensure you have a chance to grasp everything. Here are some of the discovery modules you could work on during CCENT test prep sessions:
Available Discovery Labs
- Discovery 1: Get Started with Cisco CLI
- Discovery 2: Perform Basic Switch Configuration
- Discovery 3: Observe How a Switch Operates
- Discovery 4: Troubleshoot Switch Media and Port Issues

While your CCENT class can go in-depth on the specifics of networking to help you understand concepts and build stronger networking skills, you also have the chance to improve at taking tests. Your CCENT prep instructor is motivated to see you do well on the exam, and building your test-taking skills can go a long way in helping you perform at an optimum level. From time management strategies to techniques to isolate the possible correct answers from a set of choices to ways you can center yourself and stay relaxed when the pressure is on, CCENT tutoring can provide you with tools to make the most of the exam.
Working through exercises during CCENT preparation is another way to hone your command of networking. Many students learn by doing, and working through these labs with your CCENT test prep instructor could prove beneficial:

...chemistry with emphases in mathematics and environmental science, I am meticulous about understanding the material itself as well as understanding why the material applies to you in your own personal life. With this in mind, I hope I can assist you not only in bettering your grades, but also understanding the world around you.... The techniques would vary from student to student. For some students, a logic-based derivation of the material works best (mathematical proofs, scientific research, etc.), while for others, practical application in their everyday lives works best (using mathematics to do taxes, science behind vaccines, etc.), while still others work best with rogue practicing of problems (working problems at the end of chapter, creating new problems, etc.).
