3.0 out of 5 stars Good but NOT enough for the exam, January 15, 2004

This review is from: CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack (CCNA Self-Study, exam #640-801) (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I recently passed the CCNA. I used this book along with Todd Lammle's study guide and Certsim. The flash cards have great info and are more than just flash cards. The appendix in the end has great info and the answers have great descriptions. This book has lots of great info but covers alot of topics you won't find on the exam. The practice exam it comes with doesn't even have the same types of questions you would find on the exam. I think the worst part is the simulated questions that are way too easy. They ask you to do basic router configurations like setting the hostname. Questions like these won't be on the exam. If you are looking to pass the exam you should use Todd Lammle's study guide along with Certsim from routersim.com. The test questions are close and even word for word on a few. The simulation questions are excellent.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good info...but not the real deal., April 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack (CCNA Self-Study, exam #640-801) (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I'm giving this kit 2 out of 5 stars simply because these type of "child's play" questions constitute, at max, about 40% of the exam. There are two key topics this book virtually ignores that are vital to the CCNA test...Subnetting and Troubleshooting IP Routing Protocols. One must know class B and C subnets and their addressing schemes inside and out. You must be able to troubleshoot connectivity issues for a few routers that are running one of the following...RIP, IGRP, EIGRP or OSPF. Also, the chapters on Frame Relay and IP Access Lists lack depth. All in all this is a good book but the way it is marketed one could easily be misled.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book to Borrow..., April 1, 2004

This review is from: CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack (CCNA Self-Study, exam #640-801) (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

The CCNA Flash Card and Exam Practice Pack is just what it's advertised as -- a late-phase add on to ensure all the nitty gritty details necessary for the CCNA are locked into your anxiety-filled mind come test day. While the flash card style is handy for quickly flipping through the information, there is a large amount of information in this book not covered in the CCNA objectives. As someone who took the 801 exam, I can't speak on the usefulness of having a separate INTRO and ICND section in the book... you'll have to determine that for yourself. Simulations on the CD were simplistic, but you can create a practice exam of just simulation questions, allowing you to become very familiar with maneuvering a router and switch, ensuring you have the basics down before you get hit with the real sims. As a late stage supplement to Lammle's Sybex book and CertSim simulations, this book is decent, but nowhere near a primary study guide or proper exam simulation tool.
