Summary: Test yourself by finding the authors' errors!
Comment: While this book does seem to cover the range of topics necessary for the CCNA exam, it contains a large number of errors, and questions and explanations that are incomplete or badly worded.

Just reading the first two chapters was enough to make me put down the book and run back to my Todd Lammle books for a while, just to make sure it wasn't ME that was off-base (thankfully, it wasn't). Lammle is concise, explains well, and is, most importantly, consistent.

Also, as others have mentioned, the book tends to be a bit "out of bounds" in a number of areas.

Finally, why aren't the tests included in electronic format? For $40, I expect a CD. It's a shame when supposed purveyors of new technology training still produce only in a dark-ages format.

My advice? Save your $, buy Lammle's books, and use online study resources. While this book isn't a waste, I simply didn't feel that I got my money's worth.

Summary: Great book, truely above and beyond what you need to know.
Comment: This book will help you identify topics you need to improve on. It would be a good idea to have a copy of the CCNA objectives when you go through the book, since some of it is beyond the CCNA scope. Some of the questions are designed to test your knowledge and understanding not just to simulate the exam.

Summary: Not Bad, But OK
Comment: Although the book seemed pretty complete when I purchased it, it was almost too complete. There were many areas of the book that focused on topics you will never see on the exam. The positive side of the book was that it gives the opportunity for others to quiz you with actual questions, even though many of them were innacurate and in some cases wrong. I would think the editors of this book could have been a bit more technical. Overall, the book is not bad, in fact finding the mistakes in the book and recognizing that they are wrong may be your key to successfully passing the 640-507 exam. My advice: don't make this your only study guide...
