Customer Reviews

Almost perfect!
This version of Todd's CCNA study guide is almost perfect, I've used all five. But there are small copy editor errors throughout, including those in the Virtual Lab labs. And when he says in the Tip on page 712 that if you are cramming for the Composite 640-802 exam you can skip this next section, don't do it! There are answers to 3 exam questions on the next page.

What you need for your studies
I used an earlier revision of this book to first get my CCNA. I enjoy the writing style and Todd's approach to the topics. The exam was a snap using this material although no matter what you use you are going to need to study hard. The current version is as well written as the previous versions and I will be using it in training for myself and others.

Comprehensive CCNA REVIEW
The book is not only a sure thing as far as covering all the material on Cisco's CCNA, but my and my fellow Network Academy class mates plan on using it as a comprehensive desk reference.
