Summary: Great book
Review: Used this book exclusively to pass the CCNA 2.0 exam (with 4 years of networking experience). Todd pretty much tells you what you need to know. The price even makes the whole deal better.

Summary: Regrettably - The Best
Review: Just past my exam a few hours ago w/832 and am evaluating that rather painful process. . . Several things surprised me including the difficulty of the test and the lack of any single valid source to prepare. I used several Even though this book was to me the foundation of success, it still had HUGE holes regarding test prep. Certainly, the Cisco Press book is ALSO necessary along with IOS experience - I suppose one could get this via router simulations. I also used test engines: Edge Tests, from hind site were most reliable. Transcenders were somewhat disappointing, though marginally worth the money. There is no doubt in my mind now that Cisco means business when they say they will prosecute those who divulge test materials. This is especially evident in these training materials as again, NONE were exact representation of the test. Very different experience for me, from my MCSE/Novell background, where evidently most all publishers and practice test developers seemed far in bed w/MS. Again, this test is very different from any book, any test engine, however, Lammle with the Cisco Press may suffice, if you have some experience. If I can do it, no doubt, you can too . . .

Summary: A "Coles Notes" Book for the CCNA Exam
Review: This book is only a summary of the overall CCNA course. I would recommend this book as a compliment to the CCNA Study guide by the same author. My suggestion is to purchase the Study Guide and use this book to summarize what you have learned.

Summary: CCNA Exam Notes
Review: Great condensed version of the CCNA Exam Study Guide by the same publisher. Best used to quickly review your readiness level just prior to the exam. Excellent supplement to other CCNA training materials. It is compact, which makes it a good guide to take if you travel.

Summary: CCNA with ease.
Review: This book is a great supplement to the CCNA Study Notes by the same auther. For those of you who have little expirience in the networking field, study this first to build a foundation and then get into more detail with the study guide. You should have no problem passing.

Summary: Best short CCNA book.
Review: I wouldn't attempt the CCNA on this book alone, but coupled with the Study Guide (also by Todd Lammle) I got a 962 this afternoon. If you make note of the "Exam Essentials" sections, you cannot fail the exam; there was _nothing_ on my exam that this book did not adequately prepare me for.

Summary: Do you want to pass with 888? :)
Review: I used this book only for exam preparation and I passed with 888. I found another review on this book and that guy wrote that he laso passed with 888. 2 events - it's not a big statistics but you have something to think about ... And now serious stuff. It's possible to pass exam using only this book - it's true. And it's not so difficult. But some things like ISDN or Frame-Relay are covered very breifly and I had no idea what to answer on some questions during the test because it wasn't explained in the book at all. But this books gives you very strong background in other parts and the the chances to get passing score are very good.

Summary: Great book to review right before the test
Review: I mainly used the CCNA book by Laura Chappell to study with, but the day before and the morning of the test I used CCNA Exam Notes to review with. At the end of each chapter are sections titled: 'Exam Essentials', 'Key Terms and Concepts', and 'Sample Questions'. These sections were EXTREMELY useful to me while reviewing for the test. I wouldn't recomend this book as your primary study guide, but I would DEFINITLY buy it to review with. With the help of this book, I passed the test with an 860.

Summary: You need to have a lab or a class with this book
Review: This book is great if you are enrolled in a class that prepares you for the CCNA exam, like if you are enrolled in Cisco's Networking Academy.
