Cisco 640-607 Exam (9/11 people found this helpful)
CCNA for Dummies, only Dummies would publish a book AFTER the exam has been retired for the general public. This exam is only available for Cisco Students and Instructors with exam vouchers. For anyone else get books relating to the 640-801 Exam.

If only it were so simple... (6/6 people found this helpful)
I bought this book having never touched a Cisco router. My intention was to read CCNA For Dummies to gain an overall view of the CCNA exam before getting down to serious studying using Cisco's own material. However, I found that this book tried to be all things to all men - a book cannot be an overview AND an exam guide. The inclusion of practice tests is almost pointless since the questions are neither Cisco exam questions nor probing enough in most cases to prepare the reader for the reality of the CCNA. Too many ambiguous statements and typos for me - take my advice and go straight to Cisco's own material (or someone else's, maybe Sybex), you'll save yourself time and confusion. I don't work for Cisco by the way, I wish I did.
A good understanding for those who cannot read a manual (2/2 people found this helpful)
I find it difficult to site down and read a manual. This book was very good in the way it brings the information across.
A must if you dont have a good understanding.
Good for those with some experience (1/1 people found this helpful)
Haven't done the exam yet, but the first few chapters on OSI model and subnetting should be useful if you haven't done any of the MS TCP/IP or Net Essentials courses or read the books. The best part was the test exams on CD. From the self-assessment, you can find the areas you are weakest in. More information is needed for switches, WANs and access lists.
