CCNP Configuring, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting Dial-Up Services Exam Cram Exam 640-405

The only real problem with this book is the typos - there is an errata sheet available from the Exam Cram website...but it doesn;t fix all the errors. As for the content? Well this book is very good - i couldn't fault it.The people who are complaining about this book and giving it low scores are obviously just trying to read this book only and take the exam - paper certs. If they have had experience, read the courseware then they wouldn't haven't a problem with this book - the errors would be apparent.Anyway, i'm not here to preach - i'm here to give this book the good score it deserves.

This book was written very well and is exactly what you need to pass the BCRAN certification exam. I used it to help with my studies and passed the test the day after the cisco course ended. I read it from cover to cover 2x and went back through it after the exam and found about 80% of the stuff from the test in this book. Highly recommended.

I read this "exam cram" the weekend before passing the Cisco Remote Access exam (#640-505). In the hour prior to the exam, I also reviewed the "Cram Sheet" and the sample test in this book which settled the butterflies in my stomach. The book has two things going for it: 1) It covers exactly the topics in the test. Its table of contents is a far better exam outline than the outline on the Cisco website. Had I purchased this book earlier, I could have more accurately scoped out the actual exam and prepared more efficiently. 2) The questions at the end of each chapter and in the sample test accurately match the type of questions one faces in the actual exam. If it were not for a few editing errors, this book would merit 5 stars! If you had time to study only 1 supplementary book, this is it!

I used this book as my sole study guide for remote access. The authors cover all necessary topics needed to pass the exam. Also, the use of humorous anecdotes help lighten the reading.

This book is exactly what I expected, a light, concise, easy-to-read, short exam CRAM. it doesn't cover everything you need to know, but it refreshes the things you already know (which is what my idea of an Exam Cram is supposed to be). To this extent, don't use it as your only means to study, but use it as your LAST means of study. It can be easily read in a couple days. Great practice questions. I would give it five stars but there are some mistakes through the book which are minor for a first edition.
