CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
This is a compilation of the best free online resources for CCNA v7 courses. These resources were chosen based on my experience. I took the CCNA 1, 2 and 3 courses from late 2020 to 2021.
For the exams answers, here are two web pages that I recommend:
The first and probably the best option is ITExamAnswers. Here you can find all the answers for the course exams. The option "Online Test"is available, where you can practice in a simulation of the real test. Contains all Labs and Packet Tracer activities with detailed instructions.
This website is also a very good option. If the first option does not contain a question, it is worth a try on this page. As the first one, it contains all package tracking activities with detailed instructions.
Labs and Packet Tracer
For Labs and Packet Tracer Activities, I recommend watching a Youtube video of the solution. If you have time try to do it by yourself, but otherwise watch one of these youtubers. Simply copy the title of the activity or Lab, search for it on Youtube and one of these channels will pop up. For example, in this case, search for "15.6.1 Packet Tracer - Configure IPv4 and IPv6 Static and Default Routes". If you don't have access to Netacad material, just watch the CCNA 1, 2 or 3 playlists on any of these YouTube channels.
Both channels give a clear explanation of how to configure the devices and give some useful tips. Also, they update their content according to the changes in the Netacad course. None of them are native English speakers, so you may have trouble understanding what they are saying. Personally, I prefer how Christian Romero explains the activities, he explains each item and question of the activities.

General Tips
- Read all the material provided on the Netacad web page. If you don't have access to the web page try other free material.
- Learn all initials, i.e. protocols, device names, organizations, technologies, etc. The questions will include these initials and you will need to know them.
- Try to answer the question based on your knowledge, then check the answer on the web pages by copying the question and using "Ctrl + F" to quickly find the answer.
- Watch the packet tracer videos, especially the troubleshooting ones.
