CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide presents you with an organized test preparation routine through the use of proven series elements and techniques. “Do I Know This Already?” quizzes open each chapter and allow you to decide how much time you need to spend on each section. Chapter subject lists and Foundation Summary tables make referencing easy and give you a quick refresher whenever you need it. Challenging chapter-ending review questions help you assess your knowledge and reinforce key concepts. Scenario-based exercises help you think about exam objectives in real-world situations, thus increasing recall during exam time.

 

The companion CD-ROM contains a powerful new testing engine that allows you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams from ICND and unified CCNA test banks. The assessment engine also tracks your performance and provides feedback on a module-by-module basis, presenting question-by-question remediation to the text and laying out a complete study plan for review. The CD-ROM also includes a wealth of hands-on practice exercises and a copy of the Boson NetSim™ for CCNA ICND, Learning Edition, network simulation software that allows you to practice your hands-on skills in a virtual lab environment that has been customized for the labs in the book. The supporting website keeps you fully informed of any exam changes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware, June 5, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide (CCNA Self-Study, 640-811, 640-801) (Hardcover)
Beware of the currrent version of the exam--640-801 and 811! It seems to be designed to eatup and spit out newbies. I recently took it to recertify my ccna and narrowly failed it after easily passing the practice exam included with this book.

This book covers more material than I think you need to know, but does not cover all of the material you'll need to know! Most importantly is that the router simulation questions included are much easier than they should be. I scored a 90 on the practice exam and failed the ccna. Beware.

2.0 out of 5 stars Loosing my mind!, September 14, 2004
This review is from: CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide (CCNA Self-Study, 640-811, 640-801) (Hardcover)
I have read through this book 2 times now and have failed the ICND test 2 times as well. I had purchased the Intro book as well and passed the test with flying colors. Upon finishing the second book I thought that I had a pretty good understanding of the material covered but when I went to take the test I was wrong. I have gone over the material in this book so much that I can answer every book, CD, and exam test engine question correctly in my sleep. When it comes down to it, about 25 percent of the questions on the test are not covered in this book. It has good information, just not enough information. If you plan on buying this book you should consider buying another to go along with it and read that one as well before you test. Which one...? That's where I'm at - it's on to another book and hopefully a 3rd times a charm ICND test.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well it helped me pass the test, November 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide (CCNA Self-Study, 640-811, 640-801) (Hardcover)
This book and the 640-821 book was all I used to pass the 640-801 test. The 801 book was not out at the time. But the books are missing some things you need to pass the test (I.E: dial up and interface details). The router software is "ok". Boson wants you to spend an extra $150 to get the full software to do some of the labs.That skinks and is underhanded of them. I had to take the test 2 times to pass because of the missing information. If you use these books go to cisco and download the 2500 - 2600 trouble shooting manuals and read them.
