Ccent Study Guide Exam 100-105 3e

I feel I need to say this : Todd is simply amazing when it comes to concept explanation. Some people are born to be excellent teachers. I have read the book and right now I am left with 20 % to complete. Then I will go for the exam . I also use Odoms book as well . But since this is Todd's day I want to say that practical ,clear examples are used in his book. End of the chapter questions are excellent !! Can I forget about Labs ! Oh no that's what I enjoy the most. I use packet tracer for the labs and I go along with his explanation. No Practical no pass for Cisco CCNA .It is a must!!. When you read the book it appears as if he is sitting with you ,guiding you at every step of the way. After I have written this exam ,I will keep you posted.... Update !!- I took the exam 100-105 and passed. I am experienced Microsoft test taker ,but this exam was not so difficult. This was a result of the training I got from this book. I used this book ,CBT nuggets and Odoms book. I noted that using this book will make you quickly master the concepts and also you learn by doing . A word of advice though-make sure you do all the practicals either using the real equipment or packet tracer. Repeat ,repeat - I found myself creating a simulated lab for testing my understanding of static routing easily ,using Todd's book. Keep it up Todd.

I like the way the book is written it is very easy to understand, My only complaint is that the first day my book starts falling apart as seen in my picture. I give this book 5 stars for the way information is presented in the book. I would give it zero stars For the material the book is made out of.

This book does not include a CD, even if you buy it new. The software was discontinued in 2017, but I still found it on the publisher website, and it didn't require a code or login to download it. You can work through the labs with the software, although the software is buggy. Still, it really helped me understand the concepts. But you may as well buy this book used since you're not getting a CD, a code, or any extra anything with a new purchase. The author is very talented at breaking down complicated concepts into easy-to-understand material. He also uses humor, levity, images, examples, and analogies to make it easier to read. The editing is not great. A lot of content was reordered so the author refers to terms and concepts as if you know what he's talking about when he in fact hasn't introduced that concept yet. Then to understand you have to look it up in the index, and unfortunately the index is inaccurate--often you'll turn to the page referenced and find that term is not present on that page. Then you'll have to hunt around to find it. It's usually just better to use the internet and give up on the index. This entire book is inside the CCNA book, page for page. It's just two pages off because the CCNA book starts the content on page 3 instead of 1. In other words, page 26 (for example) of the CCENT book is the equivalent of page 28 in the CCNA book. So if you plan to purchase the CCNA book anyway, don't purchase this book!

In this book the author Todd Lammle gives you a lot of information about Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND1) chapter by chapter and specific notes & tips of what you might see on the actual exam. I read each Chapter in this book, along with other study items and references I was able to pass my CCENT ICND1 exam on the first try!

Just passed my CCENT yesterday. It was my first attempt and my score was 913. I used this book along with Cisco's official material. This book was key to me understanding the topics covered and I can honestly say I probably would not have passed without it. I plan to get the ICND2 part for my CCMA.

The good: The book in itself is pretty good tool for getting ready for the CCENT/CCNA. Would have given it 4 or 5 stars but... THE BAD: Every time I turn a page it falls out...the pages are not attached to the spine well so, fnow I am left with a big mess of pages that are extremely hard to reference because the pages are all over the place.

Using this book from Lammle, official Cisco press book by Odom, and the Boson practice exams I was able to pass ICND1 on my first attempt. I really enjoyed Lammle's writing style and this book is a lot easier to read than Odom's book. I highly recommend for anyone looking to supplement their studies for CCENT.

Passed my exam with this book and have recommended it to several other people. Much more approachable than the official Cisco Press book, with a far better approach to subnetting, a traditional pain point for CCNA candidates. Lammle's conversational style works well for me, and I was able to power through a chapter a night without too big a time commitment. Like other Sybex books, this includes review questions at the end of each chapter -- not every book does this and it's a huge help. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover 100% of the exam topics -- and neither does the official book. But it does a very solid job, and I don't know of a better resource. Things I don't like about it: - Could use better editing -- there are a few mistakes here and there, and a couple of answers to review questions that don't match the question. - While I like Lammle's style, he's not the best writer. But the technical material is solid. - The practice test included with the book could stand to be improved. I'm glad it's there but if you want a higher quality practice exam you need to look at something like Boson.

Great book. I think it is the best material for studying for the certification, but if you use this and the official book from Cisco, be sure that you are going to get certified. Congratulations to Todd Lammle Great work that you have done all these years. Best Regards

I have been using this to study for my ICND1 and eventually my CCNA. I am almost ready to write the test. I will be using this book along with some online resources but it is very thorough. I have gained a lot of new networking knowledge and this book covers all objectives

Some bits dont make much sence not the knowlage but the grammer although im dylexic. Some Explinations are abit too in depth. With that being said its full of knowlage more than the ccent would need i would say whitch is good so youll have a solid understanding by the time your finished. Im using this alongside cris byrats videos thats just an overview. This book is most deffently needed and thats why in giving it 5 stars. Ill be getting the ccna book as soon as im finished with this one.
