Summary: Not so great, additional references needed for passing
Review: I managed a 956 on the exam just using this kit. Between the book and the simulator, this set does a very solid job of preparing one for the exam. In hindsight, I should have paid for a Boson test, or the Cisco Press book or something like that. You can get a skewed perception of what the real test will be like by taking the same sample test repeatedly. However, compared to paying thousands for classroom training, this item is a great buy.

Summary: This is the "HAVE TO HAVE" kit for CCNA!
Review: I passed my CCNA exam after using this kit. I am an MCSE and MCP+I and now a CCNA thanks to these materials. The kit covers the vast majority of what you need to know to pass this exam. After using several other books to prepare for other exams, this is by far the most thourough. The simulator did have some bugs, but it was still a valuable tool to simulate hands on practice. You can pass the exam using this kit alone, or got to ... for the complete router simulator. This is excellent for those who want to learn on Cisco Routers and Switches and who are interested on CCNA exams. Certainly this is the best book, well written most of the topics, easy approach.

You can pass the exam using this kit alone, but I would recommend some hands on experience, or another book to supplement the material included. (No single book covers it all, but this one was close.)

Summary: Excellent book...
Review: I passed the exam after reading the book and that was it. I didn't even use any of the included e-trainer virtual lab CD. I should have just bought the book without the kit. Although book contains some errors and typo I find the format very clearly written and easy to understand. However, don't expect to see those practise exam questions apear on your real exam word for word. It's not a MCSE exam... Not a perfect book but good enough to get you passed. I would buy it again.

Summary: Worth Every Dollar!
Review: I purchased the CCNA Cert Kit after finishing my studies in preparation for the Network+ examination. I'll admit that there's quite a gap of information between the two, but the kit got me right up to speed on the concepts of Routing. Despite some features that had been either disabled or don't work as result of errors, the RouterSim program was an excellent proving ground to test out what I had learned in each respective chapter. Don't be put off by its price tag... If you're serious about becoming CCNA certified, look no further.

Summary: This is DA Book!
Review: I used this book some time ago to attain my CCNA--that was before CISCO raised the passing mark, too many CCNAs around--and I must say that after such a long time (in IT standards), this book still rules.I'm relooking at this book simply because I'm teaching a class on CCNA, and felt that this book offers the best value-for-money! There's Wendall Odem's book, but it's slightly not as conversational in style. The labs are great and the IOS command printouts clearly explained. If you study and follow the book to the letter, you will be well rooted in the foundations. Proof? I've finished my CCDP and CCNP :).

Summary: Get certified
Review: I used this kit only and passed the CCNA 2.0 exam with a score of 946! Definitely worth it. Few errors here and there especially in the virtual lab trainer but still extemely usefull in preparing for the exam. If you want to pass the 640-507 exam, look no further!!

Summary: if you want to pass the CCNA, this is a must buy
Review: I was nervous about taking the CCNA 2.0 and a friend suggested the Sybex materials by Todd Lammle. I am indebted to that friend and Todd Lammle for life. Lammle takes what is exceptionally technical material and makes it understandable. If you're willing to trudge through the book and really put your mind to work, the material will become crystal clear. Lammle just doesn't provide the answers, he shows you why they are the correct answers, which will make you a more productive CCNA. I've read other Cisco books and this is by far the best. I also recommend CCNA Jumpstart by Sybex.

Summary: Don't be fooled
Review: I'm amazed at the number of reviewers who gave this 5 stars. I passed my CCNA despite this book, as much as because of it. There is really no excuse for so many typos and poor explanations. And the E-trainer is truly a joke. If you're going for the CCNA, be sure to check into the alternatives.
