Ah the joys of learning about VLANs, the OSI Model, routing, and subnetting and the like. I took the CCNA exam “ along with various MS exams on the way to the MCSE “ a few years back, and spent lots of quality hours cramming via Cisco study guides and using a lot of practice test apps to help in the final days of prepping for the exam.
I didn ‘t have an iPhone back then, but if I did, iCertify looks like an app I would ‘ve been snapping up to help me prepare for the test.
Here ‘s more detail on iCertify from its App Store description:
iCertify is a set of flash cards for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. The flash cards will help you pass Cisco’s 640-802 CCNA® exam to become a Cisco Certified Network Associate. iCertify features over 200 flash cards. The cards pose a question and then give you time to answer.
iCertify was used by the author, Priscilla Oppenheimer, as her own study guide when she renewed her CCNA certification in 2009. Her flash cards are a gentle and fun way to learn and test your knowledge. Be sure to count the rabbits while you’re learning!
The iCertify flash cards are divided into four main subjects. Each subject is divided into multiple topics. The subjects are:
* Fundamentals
* LANs
* Internetworks
* Security
The best thing about this app, from what I can see, is its strong content and the very strong background of its author, Priscilla Oppenheimer. She ‘s got no less than six Cisco certifications, and has authored, co-authored, or contributed to five very good books on networks, networking, and similar topics “ including a couple of Cisco Press titles.

Having good exam preparation tools is essential to passing technical certification exams and attaining those certs. iCertify looks like a very valuable tool to have at your disposal if you ‘re prepping for the Cisco CCNA or similar networking exams. I know I ‘d want it if I was tackling a Cisco cert again.
You can find iCertify in the App Store now, priced at $2.99.
