CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack

Please watch out whose edition's review you are reading (second versus third)! The third edition's test engine is NOT like the second. It has some improvements but lacks a feature that the second one had that I found VERY useful! The missing feature is the ability to set up a screensaver so that it displays a CCNA question, then displays your choices, then then shows you the correct answer. I found this feature VERY USEFUL since I could test myself even when I wasn't studying!To be fair, I really haven't fully tested out the third edition's test engine. It appears FINE except for the missing screensaver feature. It may even be technically more accurate plus have questions that are closer to the actual exam. It may be that the third edition's test engine is better then the second. That may be true but I REALLY miss the screensaver feature.NOTE: To use the third edition Flash Card/ICNDx exam(s), you need to activate it and download it. I found it confusing at first. Just remember NOT to lose the activation number/slip!!I REALLY hope that Cisco Press doesn't do this to their CCNP books! (Apparently Cisco Press has changed the test engine in the CCNA Flash Cards 3rd edition book, CCENT/CCNA ICND1 book, and CCNA ICND2 book!!)

This is a question and answer book -- absolutely PACKED with information and questions concerning your CCNA exam. The questions are jumbled nicely throughout the book. Each question is backed up on the reverse side of the page with the answer(s). It is exactly what the title says...they are FLASH CARDS (flash pages). Being able to review your answer and get it immediately makes it extremely vital to the learning process. You are immediately rewarded with the right answer, or you immediately research wrong answers to reinforce your knowledge. Anyone studying for thier CCNA exam, or even thier CCENT, will know how difficult and exhausting it can be, with all the information and redundancies of meanings and devices. Let's face it, it's very overwhelming. This is very much a MUST HAVE. This book WILL help you tremendously if you are going for your Certification. It's all part of practice, practice, practice, review, memorize, etc. Big Help/10-Star!!!!!!

I'm just going to make this short and sweet. I contribute passing the CCNA to this exact book and I keep it on my desk as reference. However, you're not buying this book for the flash cards. You're buying for the summary starting on page 634. Everything you need to know boiled down in condensed form. No bull and no fluff. Only con I have is that it comes with the flash cards. I'd be much happier if they sold this with just the summary so it didn't take up so much room on my book shelf.

This book on its own isnt real good except for cramming. Used with a study system it is excellent. It covers more topics than you will likely find on the test but isnt that the point? If we knew what exactly what was on the test we wouldnt need a study guide or flash cards.

Great buy! Well thought out and quick to use. Please.. do the readings first and use this as a review.If you have a few years of time on networks in a business this will help to you on the CCNA tests. If you use this, and only this, and have no time on networks--good luck on the test you will need it! Make this part of your review for the tests.

Anyone familiar with certification exams (especially Cisco) knows that you can't just use one source of information to prepare yourself for passing the test. I'd argue that it would work well for people that employ flash cards on a normal basis, but I would definitely use other sources of material to supplement what this book cannot provide.

I will use the cd and the book to study for and pass my CCNA exam this has a lot of info and the test Sims seem to be up-to date.

It's a good book, but I wish it was actual physical flash cards, instead of the way it was presented. I see you can tear the pages out, and cut them into cards, but they're on flimsy regular paper, and prone to damage or tearing. Otherwise, the material is decent, and useful.
