Test yourself by finding the authors' errors!,

This review is from: CCNA Test Yourself Practice Exams (Exam 640-507) (Paperback)
While this book does seem to cover the range of topics necessary for the CCNA exam, it contains a large number of errors, and questions and explanations that are incomplete or badly worded. Just reading the first two chapters was enough to make me put down the book and run back to my Todd Lammle books for a while, just to make sure it wasn't ME that was off-base (thankfully, it wasn't). Lammle is concise, explains well, and is, most importantly, consistent. Also, as others have mentioned, the book tends to be a bit "out of bounds" in a number of areas. Finally, why aren't the tests included in electronic format? For $40, I expect a CD. It's a shame when supposed purveyors of new technology training still produce only in a dark-ages format. My advice? Save your $, buy Lammle's books, and use online study resources. While this book isn't a waste, I simply didn't feel that I got my money's worth.

Advanced level,
This review is from: CCNA Test Yourself Practice Exams (Exam 640-507) (Paperback)
After studying the study guide by Todd Lammle, I use this book for my practice. Wow, it is advanced level, it seems to be out of the scope of the basice level of CCNA.I would appreciate that this book contains these advanced questions. It really gives me challenge. But I just want to buy an exam-oriented practice book, I would like to get a book with many questions within the scope rather than many advanced questions out of the scope.

Priceless,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CCNA Test Yourself Practice Exams (Exam 640-507) (Paperback)
This book is priceless. Especially given the fact that there are not many practise CCNA exams available. I read Lamle's book "CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide" cover to cover. I chose it based on reviews at Amazon but was in for a shock when I opened the "Cisco Ccna Test Yourself Practice Exams". It gave me a lot of areas to get more info ... areas left out of Lamle's book (such as ATM and router screen shots for frame-relay & ISDN configs). The questions on subnetting are the best I've seen anywhere.
Final words ... get hands-on, GET THIS BOOK & comb through it at least 2-3 weeks before the exam. I could not have passed without it. Kudos to the authors.
