This is where you should begin your studies.  Start with the document "350-001.pdf".  The rest of the material is uneven.  We will discuss the first day of class.

The exam changed on January 1st, 2006.  Ignore practice questions concerning ATM,   ISDN, IS-IS, and DLSW+.  These technologies are no longer on the exam.   These questions were last updated on 7/5/2006.  Check and re-check the web site for a new set of questions soon.
