Reader Reviews
This guide will not allow you to pass the Cisco tests by its self. The book is only good in conjunction with the latest Cisco Press books. The main problem is that this entire Sybex CCSP series is outdated. Cisco added to their tests and updated their books after these were written. (i am giving them the benefit of the doubt there). These book leave a ton of stuff out. There are also some errors in the questions. Bottom line is that these books do not stand up by themselves.
