Reader Reviews
I think the key to passing the CCDA is to take it shortly after the CCNA. Within a month if possible. It's not a difficult test, and this is the primary book I used to prepare. The book is well written and well worth the money. It's a breeze to read and prepares you with the all of the concepts that you will need to pass the test. My only complaint is that the book does not address the structure of the test very well. The CCDA is unlike any other test I have ever taken, following various fictitious companies throughout the exam. The book prepares you to answer the questions quite well, but it does not prepare you for the structure of the test. But all in all I highly recommend this book. It's very well laid out and easy to read and absorb. If you have any actual experience with Cisco equipment this book will definitely help with test. Some people writing reviews here would have you believe that purchasing every Cisco Press title on the CCDA exam and DCN is required to pass the test. Well, its not. Just because they like to waste time and money should be of no concern to you, and just because they lack the skills and competency to get it done right is also not your concern. This book is a great reference, and I highly recommend it. I do think using the Cisco Press CCDA Exam Certification book is not a bad idea, but ONLY for the case studies. All I used was this book, and the case studies in the Cisco Press book and it was a pretty easy test.
