Thanks for the link, depsite my frustrations yesterday, I calmed down and went back to the Todd Lammle book and despite the flaws managed to make some sense of the whole subject. However I did find the test examples on that site you gave me very helpful at actually showing what I do know.

Thanks again

Kiddah,
The thing is i ahve bought Sybex 607 with router sim fundamentals for 36.99 sterling instead of the 66.99 sterling book which has the full verion of Virtaul sim ...So will this baby version be enough to practice on for exam??

Also whats the best study technique when reading for CCNA as i have 3 books ..dont knwo where to start ..shall i break it down into topics and then look at each book for their explanation?

Thanks for all your advice Tara.

I have read a lot of your posts and really appreciate all the effort you put in.

I have been studing for CCNA 607 for six months now and will be taking the test in 2 days.
I have used the cisco training materials and router sim's to prepare.
Could I have access to your resources as well?

Wish you well
Thanks

As a beginners book what would you recommend :
1)Cisco : A Beginner's Guide
by Toby J. Velte, Anthony T. Velte OR

2)CCNA for Dummies Ron Gilster ??

Please tell me :CCNA for Dummies Ron Gilster is a better book i have just bought it. But on amazon they really knock it compared to Cisco : A Beginner's Guide book.

Also is the ESIM and Sybex baby virtual lab sim enough to practice on to pass CCNA? im not convinced , everyone talks about router sim and boson sim ?

Thanks I understand what your saying. I have some general questions :

1)What do you think is the best compliment course with CCNA . Would it be something that is non vendor specific such as A +?
(I dont have much technical exposure to IT )

I guess i wanna know can you get into a networking job without going through desktop job route?

2)Also i have come across this :
http://www.delmar.edu/Courses/download/

Is it possible todownload from this site?
Anyone tried it..theres a sim and other materials ?
