I'm planning on studying and taking the CCNA exam. What is the most efficient way for me to study for it? I just graduated with a BS in Elect. & Computer Engrg, so I've done some networking (most theory) in univ. Can I just buy a study guide book? Or should I enrol in a class? How much "hands on" knowledge is required for the exam?
Thanks much!

I have been working with networks for over a year now. I find that using the book and a router to be great way to study. I also have enrolled in a bootcamp. For me it was just a bonus way of ensuring my success the first go around. It is costly but hey what ever it takes to pass.

It depends my friend.
Do you want to actually know how to use the knowledge that a cert states you have? If the answer is yes, grab a router. Hands on is the only way to learn how to actually fix/configure something.
Also, How cheap are you? A router is expensive, unless you can borrow one.
And how well do you learn from books alone?
Personally, I purchased Todd Lammale's book, Cisco Press books, and the Syngress Media Book. I used all three and answered the questions etc. I.E. I am cheap (or poor), and my in my current role I am more of a business process consultant than a down in the trenches router configurator.
Anyway, good luck.

Don't rule out practice tests. Once you learn all that good stuff, you can hone in on the exact facts you will be tested on. Probably the best ones out there right now are Troy and Exampasser. If you read all the books and study the practice guides, you can't fail.

Practice lots and lots of questions, once you are done studying the materials.
there are so many different good ones out there, I would highly recommend netqs. but which ever the one you can get for free or any other good quality ones would do.

Cisco Test-Out is a good program to help study. There are labs on it with router simulations that help a lot with the configuration and steps to configure a router. Not all commands are enabled, but you can get a general feel for what it's like to program a router.

Overall, everyone is right about getting hands on if at all possible. If not the get a routersim. As far as books, I found it good to use Cisco's ICND book to get everything straight from the horses mouth and then to supplement that with the Sybex book by Todd Lammle. Use the router(sim) to practice as you go through the chapters in the book to cement the IOS commands. Once you finish the books then hit practice questions hard and your success will be ensured. Best of luck!
