For those who are not familiar with Mnemosyne, it’s a pretty slick program available on Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms where you can build your own database of flash cards. It has a unique twist in that it allows you to grade the cards as they appear and it uses this to determine which cards are more difficult for you to remember so you spend more time being presented with cards you are more likely to forget instead of just a random sampling of cards resulting in getting the one’s you have committed to memory just as often as those you have not.

Mnemosyne is available for free download from their website located here.

I started to put together a database of cards for the first exam I’ll be sitting, JNCIA-JUNOS and thought I would make it available for others to use as well. In Mnemosyne, you have the ability to create categories in a database and only display cards from a particular category or from more than one or all at once. While working on the JNCIA-JUNOS database, I basically broke it down into the main categories listed on the exam objectives: Junos OS Fundamentals, User Interface Options, and so on. I also decided to create a good variety of cards once I figured I would share it, so there may be some in here incredibly easy for some but that’s the nice thing with Mnemosyne is they will be weeded out of your rotation for the most part as you start to work through them.

Anyways, the link will follow below here. It’s not presently complete as of yet but I will share what I’ve got together so far. Thus far it covers about the first half of the JNCIA-JUNOS exam objectives including the following main categories: Junos OS Fundamentals, User Interface Options, Initial Configuration and Network Interfaces, Secondary System Configuration, and Operational Monitoring and Maintenance. I’ve got 228 flash cards thus far, and some of these were made while studying up late in the wee hours of the night – so there may be and probably are typographical errors. Hopefully I’ve made no errors with the questions or answers not being factual but please feel free to let me know of any mistakes you might find be it spelling or with the material itself and I’ll be sure to correct the copy provided here. I’ll also keep updating the file hosted below as well as providing updates here as I continue to add the remainder of the exam objectives.
