Ctrl-Z and "end" both take you out of config mode from wherever you are. "Exit" will take you out of config mode if you're at the Router(config)# prompt. If you're at any other prompt, such as Router(config-if), Router(config-router), etc., it will take you up one level (i.e. from a subinterface to the interface, or from an interface to global config).
"Configuration mode" just means you're configuring the router on some level, non-specific. "Global configuration mode" is being explicit that you are at the Router(config)# prompt.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Subject: Clarification Question: ^Z, EXIT, END
Afternoon.
In the "Cisco CCNA Exam #640-507 Certification Guide" Book, page , I am
missing a clarification of terms used here...
Use "Ctrl+Z" from any part of configuration mode (or use the "exit"
command from global configuration mode) to exit configuration mode and
return to privileged EXEC mode. The configuration mode "end" command also
exits from any point in the configuration mode back to privileged EXEC mode.
The "exit"" commands from submodes or contexts of configuration mode back up
one level toward global configuration mode.
- Is there a clean and simple explanation as to what and when to use the
particular commands?
- In the real world and in the CCNA test... Is there a reason that the
"Global configuration mode" and "Configuration mode" are different?
