Reader Reviews
This review is from: CCNA Routing and Switching Exam Cram: Exam: 640-407 (Paperback) I used the Exam Cram books to study for my MCSE and found them invaluable. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for this book. There are FAR too many elementary errors for a reader to have confidence in what the authors are actually saying. [Although I did feel more confident about knowing the subject matter by realising the mistakes - an unintended benefit I think!]. The format is good, although the actual IOS commands need more attention in terms of examples of use [confusing]. I studied for the exam using the Sybex Lammle Paperback Study guide, the exam cram book and the CCNA Fastrack on ccprep.com , as well as taking the ICRC course. I'd recommend the Sybex book [better written] over the ExamCram book, although if they could edit the ExamCram book it would be better due to it's slightly more in depth format. I was going to wait until the ExamCram book came out before I start studying for my CCDA, but on the strength of this book, I'm going to start straight away! For what it's worth, I passed the CCNA today with 88%. I had a few more switching questions than I was expecting. As everyone says, know your OSI, and your IOS. Not as much TCP/IP as I was expecting, with quite a bit of focus on IPX!!! A fair share of ISDN and frame relay.... Cheers, Justin Dyson, MCSE, CCNA jmdyson@hotmail.com
