Reader Reviews
There are, I believe, at least two benchmarks against which one could rate this book. They are: 1) Does the book provide good coverage of the topics presented in the book, and 2) Does the book provide good coverage for all the topics you'll be tested for in BSCI (640-901). I also believe that it would be a mistake to judge this book against a benchmark it wasn't designed for, hence, I'll confine my comments and rating from perspective 1. The authors have done a good job with the topics presented in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering studying for the CCNP/CCIP certification and doesn't know where to begin. That said, I would suggest you look below at the list of books and testing software I found useful and necessary to prepare for the BSCI test. Base guide: This book Supplement for IS-IS: Lammel's BSCI book MUST REFERENCES: Jeff Doyle's Vol 1 and 2 Testing software: Companion CD with Lammel's book, and Boson BSCI exam #2. A few words about the test itself and how I fared. The test was tougher than I had anticipated. I say tough because, I felt that the questions and the choices were loosely worded to leave me with some doubt of my choices. So far, I've always completed the tests in somewhere between half and two-thirds the time-limit, however, it took me almost the allotted duration to complete this exam. To be candid, I felt I got lucky to have scored 907. Note: Perhaps this review might be put in a better perspective if I said, that I've been away from hands-on experience with networks for the last five months. Prior to the break, I had worked in the internetworking industry for about five years(effectively) out of six. I wish the best of luck to other pursuers! Comment | | (Report this)
