17 of 17 people found the following review helpful Good but NOT enough for the exam, January 15, 2004 By  Keary E. Parinis (APO, AP United States) - See all my reviews    This review is from: CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack (CCNA Self-Study, exam #640-801) (2nd Edition) (Paperback) I recently passed the CCNA. I used this book along with Todd Lammle's study guide and Certsim. The flash cards have great info and are more than just flash cards. The appendix in the end has great info and the answers have great descriptions. This book has lots of great info but covers alot of topics you won't find on the exam. The practice exam it comes with doesn't even have the same types of questions you would find on the exam. I think the worst part is the simulated questions that are way too easy. They ask you to do basic router configurations like setting the hostname. Questions like these won't be on the exam. If you are looking to pass the exam you should use Todd Lammle's study guide along with Certsim from routersim.com. The test questions are close and even word for word on a few. The simulation questions are excellent.

There are two key topics this book virtually ignores that are vital to the CCNA test...Subnetting and Troubleshooting IP Routing Protocols. One must know class B and C subnets and their addressing schemes inside and out. You must be able to troubleshoot connectivity issues for a few routers that are running one of the following...RIP, IGRP, EIGRP or OSPF. Also, the chapters on Frame Relay and IP Access Lists lack depth. All in all this is a good book but the way it is marketed one could easily be misled.

While the flash card style is handy for quickly flipping through the information, there is a large amount of information in this book not covered in the CCNA objectives. As someone who took the 801 exam, I can't speak on the usefulness of having a separate INTRO and ICND section in the book... you'll have to determine that for yourself. Simulations on the CD were simplistic, but you can create a practice exam of just simulation questions, allowing you to become very familiar with maneuvering a router and switch, ensuring you have the basics down before you get hit with the real sims. As a late stage supplement to Lammle's Sybex book and CertSim simulations, this book is decent, but nowhere near a primary study guide or proper exam simulation tool.

Praise For CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack (CCNA Self-Study, exam #640-801), 2nd Edition

Rating: *** out of ****

If you haven't heard, Cisco has released new exams for the CCNA certification and it is only natural that Cisco Press has released a self-study flash card book that can be used for the exam study.

Completely update from the last book, which I worked on, this book now has over 1100 flash cards covering all three exams.

I found the questions to cover the objectives and judging from the content of the flash cards; they seem to right in line with the exams.

About the only thing the cards could use is some of them could have more detailed explanations and possible web links.

There is also a CD-ROM included, which has over 500 practice questions and another 500 flash cards. Overall a very good tool coupled with the Cisco Press CCNA INTRO and ICND books.
