While I haven't done CCNA I can say with a fair certainty that you haven't a prayer of passing unless you have actualy worked on Cisco kit.

Hence the idea of a home lab - it consists of various bits of Cisco kit so you can try connecting stuff up and watching it break!

You need hands-on experience on Cisco devices (or, at the very least, a simulator) before taking the exam. To be quite honest, you need real-world experience before taking the exam, but that's just my personal opinion.

Best of luck!
