You are probably right about the reviews, which is why I mostly go for books with more than 10 different ones - and better if even more.
I also agree with you about multiple books - I have done that with all my exams except the BCRAN, because that book was just perfect (in my eyes). However, I have seen people who just get it right away. I mean, you can show them the worst book, and they will understand the entire thing right away, and go up and score 1000. Me, on the other hand, unless it's a really good book (again - for me that is) do not always get it right away, and must re-read it in the same and/or other books, and then after still not getting it when answering wrong on a boson test, finally figure it out. What I was trying to say was, that I think you should be careful posting to a list that some books just don't work for the exam(s), because there are always many new members, and some of them might never buy one of those books you talk badly about, and that would not be fair to the writers nor to the publishers, because those books are probably pretty good in other peoples eyes. Anyway, this is still my 2 cents, and I like to say that :-) Ole ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNP, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.

On the flip note, It could be the authors friends posting good stuff about the books. I guess you could call this Job security either way. So in my posting I just really say use multiple books. I think that is a good idea. The boson exam Idea, someone else posted here. It said that the CCIE boson had alot of the same questions, and why was it legal to do that. No matter what, test are just paper. You have to know the true matieral, and how things work to be gainfully employed and successful. And everyone must recertify CCNP every 2 years, and I think thats a good idea on Ciscos part. logic alone will not get you very far. I am not saying that is my 2 cents, because i dont like that saying :) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=26880&t=26850 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
