I passed my CCNA exam after using this kit. I am an MCSE and MCP+I and now a CCNA thanks to these materials. The kit covers the vast majority of what you need to know to pass this exam.

After using several other books to prepare for other exams, this is by far the most thourough. The simulator did have some bugs, but it was still a valuable tool to simulate hands on practice. You can pass the exam using this kit alone, or got to ... for the complete router simulator.

This is excellent for those who want to learn on Cisco Routers and Switches and who are interested on CCNA exams. Certainly this is the best book, well written most of the topics, easy approach.

I bought the book and software seperatly as I didn't know you could buy this kit at the time.

I am telling you that you just HAVE to have this kit if you want to pass the CCNA new 607 exam with simulations.

So this kit says it was published in 2007 and all the comments are from 2002 ???? These people can make better money elsewhere !!!

For one, the book is a great book for review of the CCNA exam. It has practice exercises, practice tests (after every chapter), and four bonus exams, which makes this book not only great for practical knowledge, but a bargain as well. You don't need to buy practice exams when you get this book. The author Todd Lammle writes it in an easy to understand format for someone that has no networking knowledge. Now for the routing simulator, for me I thought it was great and simulates a real world environment. Don't listen to people that say ping or some of the other commands don't work. For ping to work, each router has to have the clock rate and encapsulation set the same on the serial interface (on both routers) to be able to work (I tried it, ping does work). This has everything you need to pass the CCNA exam. The only thing I wish it had was a few more scenarios to troubleshoot in the simulator for the real-world. Otherwise I would have given it a 5 star rating. Believe me, get this!

In 2002 this book and test CD was good enough to pass. But after Nov 2007 when Cisco changed the test to make CCNA harder it is not. The book is good enough. It has been updated with all the info you need to pass the new test. The practice test has not been updated. It resembles the format of the questions you would have seen on the old test. It only has multiple choice questions. It has no simulators, no drag and drop, and no simlets. I passed the old CCNA exam 5 years ago. But I failed the new one just using this book and practice tests to study. I would recommend the book but would look elsewhere for practice tests. The lab simulator is flawed but adequate. This new test is hard!
