1 What part of EXAM CRAM don;t you understand??!!!
Some of the people who have posted here think this is a study guide..It isn't!! It is a review book used to supplement either instructor led training or a fully-fledged Study Guide. The Cisco Press ACRC book is the courseware pretty much and using this as a supplement is great.
The new BSCN requires the Routing Exam Cram..so this book has lived past its use-by-date. But still, it was a great book.
These 'paper' network engineers who want a fast way to get Cisco certified are really missing the point.
2 It's an Exam CRAM, not a textbook!
Good book to review for ACRC exam -- I used this book the weekend prior to taking the exam and passed with flying colors. This book is intended for review, and you won't get a full course out of it, but if you already have some hands on and need some concentrated study, this is a great resource!
3 Very Stupid book
Too many errors..Doesn't cover all the subjects..just a waste of money..
4 Missed the mark
I used this book among others. The book does not contain the necessary depth and breadth to pass the ACRC test.
5 Waste of Money
This book is flat-out terrible. Incomplete coverage, questions that don't compare with the complexity of the real test, no useful examples, mistakes galore. I have used it only as a supplement (and a marginally useful one at that). Some Exam Cram books are superb; this one is not.
6 Do not waste your time.
Does not cover all the material from ACRC exam. To many errors. Very brief. Do not recommend. Only waste of your time reading this book. Failed the exam. Go get Sybex book -- very good. I passed an exam in first attemt.
7 General Review Information - Bad Proofing
My issue with this book is that it has numerous technical mistakes, and contridictions. Obviously was not proof read by anyone technical.
8 This book doesn't cover the topics very well.
I actually took the ACRC class from Mike Shroyer and then read this book five months later. After failing the exam I read the coursebook and passed. This book does cover a lot of information but it's not presented the way the Cisco presents it on the test. I'd recommend a Cisco Press book over this one.
9 Very well done
I thought this book was well done and excellant in the way it was put together. I found only one error, and that was no big deal. Excellent for people coming out of ICRC and ramping to ACRC. Would recommend it for people who are chasing Cisco Certifications.
10 Doesn't cut it. Too rushed, too many errors.
Stick with the Cisco Study guides, you can't go as wrong there as you can here.
