Customer Reviews:

Great tool for final exam preparation!.......2005-08-23

CCDA/CCDP Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack won't teach you the concepts of network design, so it can't be compared to and won't replace a study guide. The only purpose of this book is to help you in finding weak areas and providing a summarization of all exam topics to aid you in your study.

I used it to prepare for the CCDA exam after reading the CCDA Self-Study Guide and Top-Down Network Design book. It served as a great preparation tool, especially the quick reference sheets which provided comprehensive information on all relevant topics. A little buggy but useful nonetheless were the Flash cards, they helped to memorize small but important facts which proved very useful during the exam. Without this book it would have been much harder to pass.

I'm really looking forward to use it throughout my CCDP study!

Nice summary tool.......2005-03-20

Having just passed the CCDA DESIGN exam 640-861 and CCDP ARCH exam 642-871 within the period of one week, I found this book to be one of the more useful study tools. The ARCH exam is really an extension of the DESIGH exam...in fact the two tests share some of the same knowledge, so it's best to take them consecutively to cut down on your study time. The Flash Cards in this book relate directly to the Quick Reference Sheets and these Sheets are probably the most outstanding feature of this book. They do a great job of summarizing most of what you need to know to pass this exam. The study questions were great, too, at filling in small details that you will see on the exam. I want to stress that this was not the only study tool I used, but this book was outstanding for final test preparation. Highly recommended.

Useful but PDA users beware.......2005-01-25

All in all I found this to be a good supplement to my other CCDA study material. It particularly was useful to skim though the cards prior to reading that topic (from another source) and then really quizzing yourself after finishing the chapter.

The quiz engine had a few mistakes but overall I found it quite useful.

However, when I installed the flash cards on my Sony Clie TH-55 it caused a fatal memory error that required a hard reset! It was a painful loss of data! After sending my clie back to Sony, they certified it OK, and when I tried to install the cards (a 2nd and 3rd time) it crashed again! Acckk!! I'm sure this is not common but back up your PDA before installing it!!!

I rate it 3 stars only because I bought it so I could study on the train with my PDA, and sadly cannot do so. (would be a 4 otherwise)

Delivers on Its Promise.......2004-04-20

CCDA/CCDP Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack by Anthony Sequeira and Kevin Wallace (Cisco Press 2004) delivers on what it promises: solid final preparation materials for the CCDA (DESIGN 640-861) and CCDP (ARCH 642-871) exams. If you have studied the basic exam material for these exams you are ready to burn in your knowledge using this book. For the CCDA, preliminary preparations means reading the CCDA Exam Certification Guide and/or the CCDA Self Study book for the DESIGN topics. Both of these are now available from Cisco Press. Unfortunately, there are no corresponding books for the ARCH topics, so you need to take a more creative course, such as perusing the SRND guides on Cisco's website for topics such as storage, wireless, VPN, content, and telephony, while keeping the exam objectives (listed on Cisco's website) in the back of your mind. Overall, I would rate this book a 5 (out of 5), with the strong caveat that it will be difficult to pass the exams unless you do a significant amount of outside research, especially in the case of CCDP ARCH.

In making the design track more relevant to the current networking scene, Cisco replaced (in 2003) the old CCDA course with one that focused much more on cogent design practices, such as identifying the technical and business goals and constraints put forth in Priscilla Oppenheimer's Top Down Network Design. They also dropped old technologies like IPX and AppleTalk and replaced these rarely used protocols with forward-looking material like IP telephony, modern security issues like IP spoofing and DDoS mitigation, and the enterprise composite network model, which further breaks down the familiar access, distribution, and core layers into an enterprise campus (which includes submodules for network management and the server), an enterprise edge (with separate internet connectivity and e-commerce modules, along with a remote access and WAN module), and a service provider edge.

Similarly, the CCDP ARCH course was upgraded (also in 2003), with a deeper focus on all of the above areas, and a much deeper treatment of QoS options for voice and data, specifics on multicast features such as sparse and dense mode operations and shared versus source distribution trees, details on the CiscoWorks network management tools including LAN Management Services and Routed WAN Management System, content caching, routing and switching, and storage essentials including NAS and SAN. In most cases the ARCH course drills deeper than the DESIGN course; in some, such as IP telephony, the DESIGN course seems to deal with the lower level issues (such as tip and ring) while ARCH deals with applications (such as Call Manager configurations including single-site, multisite, and clustering over the WAN).

The examples in CCDA/CCDP Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack are very easy to understand and the flash cards follow the quick reference sheets quite faithfully. The illustrations are excellent and the practice questions (available on the accompanying CD-ROM) are highly relevant. The authors have delivered exactly what should be expected for this type of book; they are both certified Cisco Systems instructors with KnowledgeNet and clearly know their stuff.

By the time you're acing all the topics in the flash card book (when preparing for CCDP, I went back over CCDA), you're ready to make an educated guess on anything that isn't obvious. There were still a few surprises in the exam but this book definitely helped me muddle through. I would assume the CCDP ARCH will be an easier nut to crack when Cisco Press releases an exam certification guide, currently slated for November 2004.

Great resource for my students.......2004-04-15

As a CCSI that teaches the DESGN course for the CCDA, I highly recommend this resource. It definitely gives students an edge going into the exam. It is very Exam-centric.

Worth Using!.......2005-09-03

I purchased this book to help prepare the CVOICE exam and found it a useful supplement to my other prep material. I had trouble finding Cisco material for CVOICE. This book includes a practice test as well as flash cards and a summary of key concepts. It is written by the same trainers who present the excellent Knowledgenet course.

I also used it to prepare the QoS exam. There my principal resource was the excellent Cisco Press book by Wendell Odom and again the Knowledgenet Express course. I think that this book's test is a bit easier than the real exam, especially for the simulations, but still quite useful.

Since it also includes prep for the Call Manager Exam, it is really a bargin. Three practice tests and flash cards for about the price of one (inexpensive) practice test! I wouldn't recommend it as the main resource for any of the three certs, but it is quite worthwhile as a review tool when you think that you are getting close to ready.

CCIE Routing and Switching Flash Cards
Reviewer: Glenn Bradley, Senior Network Engineer
Reviewer Certification: CCDA, CCNA, CCNP, ISSP
Rating: 4 out of 5

This text and flash card format is a great "last 30 days before the test" tool. If you've been preparing for your written or have plans to, remember this book. I chose a method that may work for some and not for others.

I took the four exam method to achieve my CCNP. I did this because it was more important to me to have an in depth understanding of the four primary disciplines than it was to get through the process quickly. I didn't want any gaps in my knowledge base as I prepared for the CCIE written.

I came straight off the CCNP completion and went into a 90 day high intensity self study program that basically occupied all my free time. I passed with (a little) room to spare but would have loved to have this book for my last 30 days of prep time.

Be sure to understand that this book is a study aid. It will in no way prepare you for the exam in and of itself. However, used in conjunction with a solid, well rounded study plan, it will increase your chances of success substantially.

The limited text preceding each chapter and the more in depth discussions of specific technologies that follow each chapter are well written and right to the point. I did not feel that I was reading a lot of fluff that some authors use to make it appear that there is greater value in the material being presented.

I give the book 4 out of 5. As mentioned earlier; the audience would include those just completing their CCNP and planning to go directly for the CCIE written in order to hang onto the more elusive details that we all learn just before an exam. Some folks may be planning to take the written directly as they are already functioning at the CCNP level. This text will help fill in the blanks they may have by not having the benefit of preparing for and taking the CCNP tests.

A small start..........2005-08-16

This book barely scratches the surface of the preparation required for the CCIE R&S written. The test has a considerable amount of minutia, some of which isn't even covered in the Cisco documentation. There are a number of topics on the test that not only aren't discussed in depth in this book, but actually aren't discussed at all. And of course it will in no way prepare you for the questions where you know the answer, but its not on the list (Cisco is notorious for that).

But its a start...and the test engine is an easy way to memorize the minutia that it does cover. Just don't expect that this book hints on all the topics that will be on the test.

Good book, but poor service.......2005-07-14

I purchased this book about a month ago and have found the material to be well suited to the purpose of reviewing the material in a condensed fashion. One bit of warning, however. I purchased this book mainly because of the advertised flashcard software for Pocket PC. Because I travel so much, I thought studying CCIE material would be a productive use of my down time. I was very chagrined to learn that the software doesn't install successfully on my Pocket PC. The CD touts support from Cisco Press and urges you to register with them but as far as I can see this is more for marketing purposes than as an opportunity to support the user. I even took the trouble of browsing the errata at the Cisco Press website and emailing the address they listed for book support but didn't receive a response from them. The material is good, but I have been sorely disappointed about not receiving what I was promised. For the price of this book, they really should deliver.

Great for CCIE Written prep.......2005-05-06

Let me first start by saying I was bummed to learn that my CCIE written had expired. Needless to say I had to retake the written. I picked up this exam pack in order to help me do quick refresher on topics that I had become dormant in. The Authors Anthony Sequeira and Kevin Wallace exam pack was just what I needed.

You are presented three ways of reviewing the material. These include 500+ flash cards, a pdf book and a test engine with 650 questions.

The flash cards were pretty good, and I normally hate them ( except when I was in 6th grade). The cards help as another way of reviewing the material in order to cement the knowledge you are reviewing. The flashcards are very in-depth cards that do help with your review

My favorite and I feel the best material you can use are the practice test. With over 650 questions it's like taking 6 CCIE Written exams before the real exam. I have always used practice questions to help prepare for the test I take. The questions are great for finding out if you really know the material. The questions are divided into topics so that you can test on them all or just the ones you select. This is perfect if you are good in one area but need more review in others.

The Quick reference pdf consist of short potent chapters geared for quick reference. These chapters get right to the heart of the topics. This is great if you are just needing the facts without all the fluff.

I passed my Written on first attempt using this exam. I have years of experience and a few test under my belt. So I can say that this is a very good for preparing the written. I would highly recommend it to anyone needing to review and prepare for Written.

The new Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) exams are out, and they're significantly different from their predecessors in style and scope. CCNP Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack helps CCNP candidates prepare for their exams by reviewing essential elements of routing and switching theory and practice. These cards--which are really pages bound in a paperback book--aren't much good at teaching their subject (though a series of Quick-Reference Sheets aren't bad for building on what you already know). They're meant for pure review, and for identifying knowledge gaps that will require an explanatory text or reference to fill. This book covers four CCNP exams, and includes about 500 questions and a 30-page reference section for each.

A trip through a section of this book involves looking at the right-hand page for questions--there are two of them on each such page--then flipping the page to see the corresponding answers on the other side. Most answers are reasonably well explained (readers get an idea of why the correct answer is what it is), but they do not include citations of authoritative Cisco documents or even other Cisco Press reference books. Also, some readers may prefer a more randomized sequence to this book's grouping by theme. For that, they will have to resort to the quiz software on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall

Topics covered: The subjects tested on the four Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) exams, including Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks 2.0 (BSCI), Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks 2.0 (BCMSN), Building Cisco Remote Access Networks v2.0 (BCRAN), and Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting Support 5.0 (CIT).

Book Description

Prepare for all four of the most current CCNP exams with more than 1,200 flash cards, practice test questions, and quick reference sheets

Check topic comprehension with more than 1,200 physical cards that are also downloadable to PC, Palm OS, and Pocket PC

Review exam topics with Quick Reference cards organized by exam
Build confidence with tools from the only Cisco Systems authorized publisher

The CCNP Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack (CCNP Self-Study) provides final-stage preparation tools for the new CCNP exams announced by Cisco Systems in April 2003. These exams, 642-801 BSCI, 642-811 BCMSN, 642-821 BCRAN, and 642-831 CIT, have all been rewritten with new topical coverage updated to teach networking professionals what they need to know to manage their networks. The elements of this title have been created to provide comprehensive coverage of the new topics in all four exams.

As a final preparation tool for the four CCNP exams, this product complements official Cisco curriculum, other books, and other exam preparatory material. It marries three uniquely successful and complementary methods of late-stage test preparation. The Pack contains a testing engine with more than 800 questions, including simulation based questions. The flash cards come in a printed format, and can also be downloaded to PC, Windows Pocket PC, and Palm OS via the included CD-ROM for ultimate portability. Fact-filled Study Sheets allow readers to review important exam topics, organized by exam.

Customer Reviews:

Very thin.......2005-10-04

I bought this based on the previous reviews. The book is very thin in content with about 250 cards per exam in the boook itself. It does not nearly cover the needed information. The CD is better with more flash cards per exam, and a testing engine, but still thin in coverage and explanations. It has information you can use, but not enough. If it was structured toward the exam requrements it would have been better. If you used the other Cisco press books, you don't need this, not even at the discounted price. As a comparison, the CCNA flash cards book was much better.

Excellent.......2005-07-28

In preparing for the 642-801, I found that there was too much information in the Paquet/Teare book to remember it all. I have no working experience with this exam topic so needed a way to fine tune my understanding.

The flash cards are in NO way similar to the questions on the exam, in format. The flash cards do not give you multiple choices and ask you to select the right one. The cards let you know whether you truly understand the topic or are just trying to weed the possible answers down to two likely ones.

I found that by using the cards, I was really able to zero in on the topics that I did not have a good enough understanding of.

I was disappointed to read one reviewers comments regarding the bulkiness of the book, "The format of the book is bulky and difficult - you have to HOLD it open."
1) The bulkiness only means that Cisco to not skimping on information provided and you are getting you monies worth with this book.
2) The pages are perforated. For each section (OSPF, BGP, etc.), I tore out the cards, mixed them up, and tested myself. When I felt I knew all the individual areas, I shuffled them all together allowing me to make sure I wasn't just memorizing answers given the order the questions were in. Many nights my wife found me wondering the house with cards in hand, quizzing myself. The cards (pulled out of the book) allowed me study anywhere.

This can not be used soley to pass the exam, but that is not the intention. Use this book at the end of your study to ensure that you have a thorough grasp of the topic.

Not very useful.......2004-12-29

Generally a pain to use and work with. The format of the book is bulky and difficult - you have to HOLD it open. As someone else mentioned, it crashed my Palm hard. It also wouldn't run on my desktop PC or my laptop, so the CD was worse than useless - it was a a big waste of time.

The material seems decent, but it's so difficult to access that I just put it down and didn't pick it up again.

CCNP Flash Cards and more!.......2004-03-12

CCNP Flash Cards and more!
This self study tool is the best off the shelf product money can buy for preparing to pass the current CCNP exams. The two CCIE authors are very knowledgeable and thorough. This book includes flash cards, practice questions, and quick reference sheets for all 4 CCNP exams. The electronic versions of the flash cards have been ported to work with Windows, Palm, and Pocket PC devices. I like both the printed book format and electronic flash cards.
What I found helpful within this book is the information presented in an easy to use, digestible format. The flash card format is comprehensive and flows from topic to topic throughout each exam. This book offers very useful "Quick Reference Sheets" at the end of each exam section. Each exam section also includes questions and answers for reinforcement of key exam objectives in digestible sections. The book's CD includes PDF versions of all the quick reference sheets and copies of all printed flash cards! Most of the time, the author's words are clear and concise--the book's layout is comprehensive and flows from cover to cover.
This book is split into four sections; BSCI, BCMSN, CIT, and BCRAN. This allows you to prepare for each of the single exams in the final hours. You can also use both the printed flash cards and electronic version on a hand-held device for maximum efficiency and time spent. The authors' technical background and knowledge are impressive. They must have had a difficult time working within the constraints of a flash card format and limiting their answers for clarity and exam preparation. Each page of the book includes two flash cards on the front page and the answers on the back. The book is indexed and tabbed for easy reference when you need to focus on a particular exam's topics such as BGP or STP. The book weighs in at just over 800 pages. The electronic flash cards allow you to focus on a particular exam and topic or shuffle the cards randomly per exam.
I was only able to locate a few small inaccuracies in this book. The few errors I did find were not technical in nature and won't be noticed by most readers. They won't affect your preparation and can be easily documented with an errata reference on the publisher's web site. Refreshingly, this book focuses not only on preparing you to pass the CCNP exams but really helps you to understand the exam topics involved! This book's author and technical reviewers have what it takes to present the exam topics in an efficient format for any certification candidate.
For the self-study candidate on a limited budget who wants a last minute exam prep tool, these flash cards are invaluable. They are presented in a well readable format and even the book itself is portable enough for the train ride or discrete cram time.

These flash cards are very informative, as were the CCNA flash cards.

My problem is that I wanted to study them on the train to and from work using my Sony Clie or Palm m515. When I loaded the software on my Clie Peg-NZ90 (Palm OS 5), it crashed hard. I had to call Sony Support to get it working again, and it just wouldn't run on my Palm m515 (Palm OS 4.1). I got the same fatal error of both devices -- a 'Fatal MemortMgr.c, Line: 3564, Null handel' error.

A relatively decent study guide to prepare for the CCSP tests........2007-05-03

This was one of the books I used to prepare for my CCIE Security written. In the last week leading to the test, I used the flash cards and practice tests to assess topics that I needed to focus on. While this book is focused on the CCSP certification, I felt that topics common to both certifications would help me in my preparation. And it did.

This book covers the 5 exams of the CCSP certification and includes focused points on securing networks, securing routers & switches, IPS, VPN's and Cisco PIX's. Starting with flash cards, prompting the user to pick the right answer, the authors then have detailed sections on relevant topics. A quick read and useful to a prospective CCSP candidate.

Good for reviewing on your exams.......2006-07-10

I used the book for preparing for some of the CCSP exams and it made a very nice job refreshing the concepts and clarifying some key information. I did good thank to it on the SNRS and SNPA exams, soon will be sitting IPS and I don't think it will dissapoint me this time.

Great CCSP security curriculum overview.......2006-01-14

My expectations were exceeded with this book. Each section covers one of the CCSP exams. Quick reference sheets are like the "cliff notes" of the entire class so if you have taken the class or have good experience, its a quick review of what's important. This book can be used as a study reference OR as a technical reference.

Pricey but good.......2006-01-05

Maybe it is just me but I was kinda expecting something I could rip out of book on heavy card stock to use as flash cards. While the information is presented in the book in the form of flash cards, you're still supposed to do the Q&A in the book itself as there is no perforations and the pages won't last long if you cut them up yourself. Other than that, the material is good and should work well to prep you for the exams.

Interesting Reading...for a Textbook.......2007-02-02

I purchased this book as a textbook for a class I am taking. The book is highly informative. I wish the paper and cover quality were better, but that's about all I would change.

Another Fantastic Resource.......2007-05-18

"Advanced Communication Games" is a structure focused practice book, though the activities could be used just for the communicative value of them. Most of the games are really fun, and students enjoy them a lot. They are often broad enough to allow the creative side of the students to come out.

Some of the acitivities have a lot of cutting out, but one way around it is copy onto card and just keep the copies when possible. For example, some of the games need lots of pictures cut out. These can be copied onto coloured paper or card and kept after the lesson. This way, you can re-use them again, with no such problems.

One flaw with the book is the cover of it. It is very flimsy, and will soon be creased and possibly torn. It has happened to a couple of copies of the book that I have used, due to the heavy use of the book by the teachers. You may want to strength the front and rear covers with some heavy duty self-adhesive covering plastic.

Other than that, it is a great book with lots of different activities to use. It is a regular feature in my own teaching, and I have a drawer or two full of pre-copied activities.

One of my favourites!!!.......2007-05-13

When teaching English as a Second Language, you will find an incredible amount of material out there for your lessons. Most of it will be good, but if you asked me, I would have to say this is one of the greatest!! Intelligent, enjoyable activities for both the students and the teacher!! It is a pity it is not possible to browse the book online, though.
