Book Description
Not only updated for latest CCNA exam (640-607), the CCNA Virtual Training Certification Kit offers added functionality by not just including a comprehensive training component, but adding a customized adaptive test engine and a powerful hands-on simulator. This three-in-one software product (Training, Testing, and Simulation) gives you all the tools you need to pass the CCNA exam with ease. The training course begins with a pre-test that gauges your current level of knowledge and then customizes your study plan based on what you know, when you can study, and the date of the exam. Your learning experience is reinforced by interactive simulations, narrated instructional animations, and end-of-section questions. The testing component lets you test your knowledge before you take the exam by letting you practice in a simulated test environment. You can choose from three types of tests: fixed-length, objectives based, and random, then double-check your results with detailed explanations linked to each answer. The powerful simulator gives you hands-on practice using three routers and one switch in a real-world network environment. This dynamic software package covers all exam objectives and is the fastest way to thoroughly prepare for the challenge of the CCNA certification exam.

Reader Reviews
Let's see, you are trying to get your CCNA certification. You have to take the 640-607 exam and you need the right study materials. Where are you going to find a training center? Where are you going to find a way to access router and switches? Most importantly where are you going to find a way to practice the exam before going live? Where can do all this and not go broke at the same time - well Sybex has put together my choice with this training kit. This is by far the most complete software certification training kit on the market today bar none. With a virtual trainer that has you take a pre-assessment test to find out what you need to study. The Virtual trainer comes with over 900 questions and this trainer will adapt to your needs rather than just a run by the objective trainer. From there you will work with the one of best Virtual labs, with over twenty labs and you can create your own if you want more. You practice with 3 routers 1 switch and 1 host; although I think more equipment could be added. I found that by having to configure 3 routers you practice the commands and configurations, and you can do the labs over and over again until you feel comfortable. Finally there is a Virtual Test center with another 400 plus questions. The best thing about this was the different type of testing setups you have, from the fixed to random testing. When you complete the report gives you an analysis of your score to help you better gauge what to study. With all 3 applications you cover each and every objective, couple with Sybex CCNA Study Guide and this is the unbeatable package. Overall you would be hard pressed to find anything close to this on the market. Sybex should package this with the CCNA study guide and maybe in future releases we will see this. As for the installation of the software, I was able to run on Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP professional. Well Done to Sybex for the complete and total package. Comment | | (Report this)
