Summary: Very weak book
Review: I have taken the test as yet but I have read this book and from what I can tell It is very weak and don't think that I'm learning anything but when I read from Todd Lammle's books, everything seems to fall into place. I highly recommmend that you study from any of Todd Lammle's book, especially his "study guides or exam notes".

Summary: Basic
Review: I just passed my CCNA exam. I used the Exam Cram "study" book and the Exam Cram pratice tests. Used in conjunction with the Todd Lammle study guide it is helpful. I found the subject matter and the exam questions to be shallow. The key is to understand EXACTLY why an answer is correct/incorrect. If you can do this, the CCNA test is really only a matter of trying to figure out what it is that they are asking. Read the questions VERY carefully and you will do fine. Best of luck.

Summary: 946/1000
Review: I passed with 946/1000 using this book and several free online practice tests. Everything was straight to the point with very little errors. The chapters and material are also organized well making it easy to follow. The real test was very similar to the practice test in the back of the book. No negative comments..

Summary: Loved it.. Got a 946 with this book and the Cisco Press Book
Review: I read reviews and I never had made one.. but I had to because of the misinformation. There are 3 errors in the Exam Cram books 2 of whick are IP address mismatches from the diagram to the text. The other was a minor spelling error. This book WILL NOT make you pass the CCNA alone.. What I think this book and these series are for is after you have read the big text book or taken a calls you read this cover to cover take the test in the back and when you get all the answers right in the back you go take the test and you pass. For that purpose this book works exactly. I love the exam cram series....

Summary: I studied, I read, I passed (apologies to Julius Caesar)
Review: I've just successfully completed the six month Cisco Academy CCNA Course. On the final day of the course our Instructor, a very recently ex-Australian Army Signals Corp CCNP, CCDP, CCAI, Network+ and now CCIE 'Student', gave us some tips on sitting the exam. One of the resources he recommended was this book (He's using the Exam Cram CCIE book for his CCIE Exam by the way). I bought it, worked my way through it, checked the on-line curriculum in any areas I was weak in, sat the exam and got 946 out of 1000 with the pass mark being 849. As they say in "the Land of the Free" - "'Nough said"

Summary: CCNA Routing and Switching Exam Cram
Review: Put simply, this book is full of errors and unlike the real test. I agree with some of the other reviews in that this book's questions were too easy and lacked quality and coverage. I have lost a lot of faith in Exam Cram books although they are usually pretty good. With a serious and popular exam like the CCNA though, you would definitely expect better quality from Coriolis.

Summary: Serves its purpose
Review: The Exam Cram series is supposed to be used for a general review of the major concepts of a study area and this book, like it's sibling books does its job. This book does a good job of reviewing the major CCNA topics and is easy to read and has review questions (maybe too easy of ones) at the end of each chapter and then a final test at the end. Like many have said before me, this is not meant to be your only study guide to be a CCNA (that would be Todd Lammle's book), but if you want something that as a review before you take the exam then this is a great buy. I passed the Exam in April of 2002 having this and Lammle's book and scored a 961!

Summary: Good Review of Exam Materials
Review: This book is not intended to be the *only* source of your CCNA preparations. What it is intended to be is a solid overview of the general items tested. If you're comfortable with the concepts and IOS commands commands, well and good. If not, then this is a good highlight of what you should review. The explanations are good, albeit brief. Overall, worth the purchase.

Summary: Apply The Cost Toward Better Study Material
Review: This book is of no benefit in preparing for the CCNA exam. It is barely more than a list of what is on the exam. I took and passed the exam and in retrospect can say that this book did not help me in any way. While it is well written, it is completely inadequate and can give the reader a deeply erroneous impression of the exam itself. It is of no value as a reference either, because of lack of depth in the material contained. A CCNA candidate would do well in applying the cost of this book toward better exam preparation material.
