CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Exam Notes

I mainly used the CCNA book by Laura Chappell to study with, but the day before and the morning of the test I used CCNA Exam Notes to review with. At the end of each chapter are sections titled: 'Exam Essentials', 'Key Terms and Concepts', and 'Sample Questions'. These sections were EXTREMELY useful to me while reviewing for the test. I wouldn't recomend this book as your primary study guide, but I would DEFINITLY buy it to review with. With the help of this book, I passed the test with an 860.

This book breaks each objective down to the stuff you really need to know. I also used the larger Cybex book, also by Lammle, just for more background info. However, this book is really all you need to pass the exam. I got a 906 out of 1000 using primarily this book!

The books method of reviewing the same highlights and hammering the important items in, in quick succession is a great method for teaching. He knows the material, and what is important.

Everything for the exam is in this guide. I may have read it three times, needless to say I passed the exam with this book and the full version study guide. Todd made it easy. Thanks Man.

Took the test about 2 weeks ago and missed it with 61% (68% to pass); took it again yesterday and passed with 87%. Wish I could have gotten my hands on this book earlier! Very concise and points out essential items to know for the exam. I also have the Study Guide (which is good), but I had a hard time studying with it (info overload). As I don't have much hands-on experience with routers, I also used CBTs and watched a couple CCNA prep videos (starring Mr Lammle himself). If you're familiar with routers and general networking, this book should be enough. If not, get your hands on some other training materials.
