In general, there is no written standard on how to prepare for the certification exams, and ICND 1 (100-105) exam in particular. In fact, it has more to do with the best practices in a process of an exam preparation. In the case of the ICND 1 (100-105) exam, they are as follows:
- Active work experience in the ICT industry for 1-2 years
- Attending a CCNA training at Cisco Networking Academy
- Reading CCENT/CCNA books
- Practicing with routers and switches, or Packet Tracer and GNS3
- It helps a lot if you are certified with CompTIA Network+
- Taking practice tests so that you become familiarized with the ICND 1 (100-105) exam format
- Review the exam topics carefully to identify the points where you have weakness
- Meet with friends who have passed the certification exam and learn from their experiences
