Reader Reviews
Design exams are usually very tough because you are supposed to demonstrate not only knowledge of some facts but also right way of thinking. In some questions you have to choose between appropriate and the most appropriate answer and it's much more difficult then to find out just one corrent answer. I believe this book really helps you to understand the Cisco vision of design rules and ideas. I used only this book for exam preparation and passed it with 73% (passing score is 65). The score was not very high and one of the reasons that I didn't find in this books some terms like 'router cluster' for ATM and StrataCom hardware overview (like number of modules). But obviously it was my fault that I didn't study SNA well even this books contains good review of this architecture. I would say that if you just carefully study this book only after passing other three exams in CCDP track, you will pass this exam on the first attepmt but probably your score will be less then 90%, but higher then limit. About errors mentioned in some others reviews. In the design test it's more important to understand general ideas then some numbers and command spelling and usually misspelled command or wrong figures in tutorial are annoying but they don't affect you understanding of basic design ideas dramatically. Especially if you have passed previous three tests. I would recommend this book even it contains a few mistakes.
