CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Exam Notes

Rating:
Summary: Essential for passing the exam.
Review: A little experience with Cisco routers and this book are all you need to pass the exam. Reading is extremely fast-paced, after reading it twice (2-3 hours each time) I passed the exam easily with a score of 925.

Summary: GREAT BOOK for review priorr to test.
Review: The only book you need if you have some experience with Cisco routers. Gives all you need to know to pass the test. The only thing that is missing is a CBT. For that you will have to buy to CCNA Study Guide.

Summary: Another Study Source
Review: I read through this study guide and actually found the questioning (and answers) to be helpful. This study guide should be considered just that - a study guide with Q&A. To pass the Cisco CCNA test you will HAVE to study in-depth access-lists, the OSI layers, ISDN, Frame-relay, Novell frame types, default admin distances, routing updates times, switches and types. In my test I was expecting and was prepared for a lot of sub-netting and but only had a few questions. The book I used as my primary study book was "Cisco Certified Network Associate" by Syngress Media. I also used the Boson Tests as recommended by Todd Lammle. These proved very, very helpful. One more thing, it is also very helpful to practice on a router (at least one). There are 78 questions in 90 minutes and no going back. I passed with a 822. Now I am studying for the ACRC test. Good luck everyone.

Summary: Very good for test prep.
Review: The study guide is exactly what the title suggests....a guide to study with. This book breaks down the test exactly how the test is broken down. This book is an excellent compliment to a class or another more in-depth book. The overriding value of this study guide is the questions at the end of each section and the confidence you will have after using this book as study tool.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent for cramming right before the test
Review: Don't try to use this book to learn the subject, but do use it to review for the test. It clearly and succinctly outlines all the things you need to know, so you can identify whether you're ready or not, and do some last minute cramming. The review questions were good -- a couple of them exactly matched ones that I encountered on the actual exam.

Summary: I passed the test with a 906 after studying this book!
Review: This book helped to clarify the concepts in the "big" CCNA study guide. It also pointed out what I really needed to focus on for the exam which was a tremendous help.
