CCNA 640-802 Exam Certification Library, Simulator Edition, is a comprehensive review and practice package for the latest CCNA® exams. The two books contained in this package, CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide, Second Edition, and CCNA ICND2 Official Exam Certification Guide, Second Edition, present complete reviews and a more challenging and realistic preparation experience. This value-priced package couples these best-selling CCNA study guides with a state of the art, interactive simulation software package, which allows you to practice your networking skills on 250 structured labs designed to help you learn by doing, the most-effective method of learning.
CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide, Second Edition, and CCNA ICND2 Official Exam Certification Guide, Second Edition, present you with an organized test preparation routine through the use of proven series elements and techniques. "Do I Know This Already" quizzes open each chapter and allow you to decide how much time you need to spend on each section. Chapter-ending Exam Preparation Tasks sections help you drill on key concepts you must know thoroughly and help increase your speed in answering questions, a difficult hurdle many exam candidates face on the new exams. Final Preparation chapters guide you through tools and resources to help you craft your final study plan. Special troubleshooting sections help you master the complex scenarios you will face on the exam. The companion CD-ROMs contain a powerful testing engine that allows you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams. The assessment engine also tracks your performance and provides feedback on a chapter-by-chapter basis, presenting question-by-question remediation to the text. The bonus DVDs contains over 60 minutes of personal video mentoring from the author, focused mainly on the topic of subnetting.
CCNA 640-802 Network Simulator lets you experience realistic network device response as you work through more than 3,000 hands-on tasks in three different types of labs (skill builders, configuration scenarios, and troubleshooting scenarios). Each lab includes detailed instructions, topology diagrams, hints, full answers, and complete explanations. Unlike other simulators on the market, the configuration and troubleshooting scenario labs included in the CCNA 640-802 Network Simulator are far more complex, challenging you to learn how to perform realistic network configuration and support tasks. In addition, the simulator includes extensive support of show commands that help you diagnose and resolve network problems in labs specially designed to enhance troubleshooting skills, a key component of the CCNA exam.
Well-regarded for its level of detail, assessment features, challenging practice questions, and hands-on labs, this value-priced package provides you with more detailed information and more realistic practice exercises than any other CCNA study guide, enabling you to succeed on the exam the first time.

Pretty good product, Mar 4 2010

This review is from: CCNA 640-802 Exam Certification Library (Hardcover)
Overall this set of books, practice exams, and simulators prepared me pretty well for the exam. All but 1 or 2 of my exam questions looked familiar so I'm convinced this package covered all of the major topics.The practice test questions were a little bit harder than my exam questions, which is good. Several of the test sim's were easier than the practice ones, though two of them were of similar complexity. If you can do the labs and the practice sims in this package, then you are in good shape for the exam. Since the sims are such a substantial portion of the exam score, this product could be improved with a few more sim questions.
The books contained 2 practice question errors and a couple of typos, but not nearly as bad as the CCNA 1 book by Stephen McQuerry which had numerous practice question errors.
I advice everyone to purchase at least one other quality practice exam package so you don't take the risk of depending on a single product for an expensive exam. There's nothing substantial missing from this package, but utilizing one other practice exam package might give you a little line of questioning for the same material.

Not the full package I expected, Aug 10 2010

This review is from: CCNA 640-802 Exam Certification Library (Hardcover)
I'm just going to write this review off the top of my head, so I apologize in advance for any rambling & lack of coherency. First off, this boxed set is basically the regular Cisco ICND1 & ICND2 books (that you can buy separately, on their own, or together in the Amazon listing titled "CCNA Official Exam Certification Library (Exam 640-802), Third Edition (Containing ICND1 and ICND2 Second Edition Exam Certification Guides)") in a box with an accompanying bonus CD. So all you really get in addition to buying the books separately is a CD that contains what are essentially practice labs in a router sim. When bundled together, Amazon sells the books for $37.79 but this item is $125.99 (at the time of this review, at least), so you're paying about a $90 premium for just the extra simulator CD. In hindsight, me buying this item was a bad idea. I'm going to review the bonus CD you get and leave my review of the books in the item listing for that particular book so look there if you want my humble opinion. As for the CD, I really didn't find it useful and actually quit using it about halfway through my ICND1 studying. On the CD you get a ton of labs in a practice simulator. The labs are basically a run-through of the problems in the book, so if you find actually doing the problems instead of just reading about them that much more helpful, then good for you. Otherwise, they're just a rehashing of what's in the book. Wasn't worth it for me, at least. The simulation software could have been made better, as well. You could not resize the window and it's pretty small to begin with. Also, you had to open the instructions for each sim in a separate PDF file, so be prepared to print out a LOT of instructions (about 3 pages per sim, and there are a lot of sims), or get a second monitor that you can flip to portrait mode. Simply clicking back & forth from the sim to the pdf windows was extremely annoying. Additionally, the Boson sim software that comes packaged with each individual book actually has a much more friendly interface that mimics what you'll find on exam day. Shame on Cisco Press for letting a third-party have sim software that mirrors the exam sim software but your own software doesn't.... Most of the sims are very short & quick which also is somewhat annoying given the process of reading the problem in the PDF and then using the software. To just learn the basic commands, I would recommend that you Google & download Cisco's Packet Tracer which is basically the lab simulator without any pre-planned problems. In a sort of summary - the Boson software that comes packaged with each individual book is a much better product. It is much more similar to the actual exam simulator and is a lot easier to use. It doesn't have nearly the same number of problems on this bonus CD, but it covers a decent amount of the material and should give you enough practice with the look & feel of the Cisco IOS. Maybe if this boxed set was only $20 more than the two books combined, I would recommend it, but I think the $90 extra is just absurd for the quality of what you get. Oh - and don't buy any used copies of this boxed set, either. The bonus CD comes with an activation code that can (supposedly) only be used once. If the person selling the used copy activated it, you could be out of luck on it altogether. Not worth the risk in my opinion. As a side note - the books themselves are quite good although they only give you about 10 practice questions for each chapter (not nearly enough). Also, the Boson practice exam (in each individual book) was pretty tough & covered some material not in the book at all (kind of stupid since you're supposed to take it after reading the book). Anyway, there you go.

Great Product was essential in obtaining my CCNA, Mar 20 2011

This review is from: CCNA 640-802 Exam Certification Library (Hardcover)
These books and the simulator which it includes were essential in passing my ICND1 and ICND2 exams to obtain my CCENT/CCNA certs. For technical books they are surprisingly easy to read and filled with important topics. The simulator was good for developing the practical skills needed to pass the exam and their are more labs then are necessary to pass the exams. The books also include a DVD which really helped me finally get the concept of Subnetting. My only criticism is that the simulator could be better if it allowed you to construct your own networks and allowed the resizing of Windows and diagrams. Best of Luck as you pursue your certification.
