Sybex has a "CCNA Virtual Test Center" due out in January that has a fairly
in-depth section of questions that cover frame-relay and switching. All
questions are based on fundamental knowledge required to pass the CCNA. The
benefit though of these questions is in the explanations that have been
designed (in most instances) to help fill in the gaps of knowledge left out
of the Cisco official curriculum materials (ICND and Cisco Academy).

The Cisco Academy curriculum stays true to the certification, but you are
right about needing more information. Switching and Frame Relay are
weaknesses in the curriculum. Diagnostics of STP and setting up a router as
a TFTP server are two that come to mind. You should have TCP/IP and
subnetting down solid as well as Novell and IPX. I also had a couple of
questions on PPP.
Good Luck on Monday
