PROS:
- This is a good book to purchase and utilize for a final prep for the ICND1 exam.

CONS:
- Some of the examples (figures) in the book use the wrong IP addresses vs. the actual IP addressing scheme
- Some of the test questions showed the wrong IP addresses

CCENT 1 Exam, March 14, 2009

Shawn Kuse (Vienna, Va.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

I just had to write a comment about this book and how it prepped me for the CCENT 1 exam. I passed it today with a 925 and I can honestly say that I am glad that I used this book in the process.
Ok, this book does have some errors like everyone has stated previously. However, I found the book to be too comprehensive at times. I supplemented this book with Todd Lammle's CCENT book and I am glad that I did. Where Wendell went off on some tangent, Todd was able to explain things much better. You really need both books to balance out the knowledge they are trying to give you.
The free Boson exam on the CD is really what did it for me. The simulations are tough and mind wrenching! I can tell you this, if you get that part down- the exam is a piece of cake. You won't be surprised by the format and the questions on the real exam, because they look like the Boson test questions.
Do not spend the money for Transcender- it was a waste of money prepping for this exam.

CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide, December 9, 2007

Victor Tiswell (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

It appears that Cisco is trying to make the the uphill certification process a little easier by offering rewards along the way. Instead of passing a more rigorous CCNA exam you can now take the ICND 1 exam and receive a certificate for your efforts. The Cisco CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) certification is the new entry-level networking certification and the required exam is 640-822 ICND1 - Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1. To all intents the ICND1 exam replaces the old INTRO exam.

I started reading the CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide a few weeks ago and I must say that Wendell Odom consistently produces good work. I enjoyed the old INTRO and ICND books also written by the same author. Wendell Odom does a great job of explaining and illustrating fundamental networking concepts to readers at any level.There are a few errors in the study guide , but not enough to detract from the overall usefulness of the book...
