The ironic thing about going through the academy and doing well wont help you pass the 640 routing exam . I would recommend boson.com and purchase one of their test. They'll offer you three test to buy just buy one if you feel that sem5 was learned well . I only have experience with boson so I couldnt tell you about the others ( heard that transenders is the best but expensive!!! )boson has done well for me . Cisco academy does little in preparing you for the test environment you'll take the 640 routing exam . For one thing there are multiple correct or incorrect answers. Thats something you never do when taking an academy test. (one question one answer)Taking the routing exam you can only go forward,once you answer the question you can't go back. The question structures are different. Routing exam questions in comparison are so different from the academy that as you read the questions you scratch your head thinking did I learn anything from the course??? The answer is !! yes you did . Its just that your not use to the structure of the questions. Thats why purchasing a practice test will get you in the grove and you wont be shocked when you walk into the test environment. Not only do you have to study heavy duty material. But you have to practice on how to take their test . I am not sure but I dont think the Academy is responsible for writing the 640 routing exams . I think they come from the professionals at Cisco . Boson software can be set up to have the look and feel of a real 640 exam. You need to practice with it. Boson is also good on helping you focus on the areas the test will be on . You may see a few (if lucky) of the questions from boson on the actual test . The important thing is not getting the answers(which you'll wont) from boson. But just to practice and get through the routing exam the first time. Remember that testing has gone up to $125. Get through the test the first and spend the $40 for the practice or spend another $125 for round 2 P.S. No!! I dont work for Boson.com books I liked were all ciscopress bscn book & 640 routing exam
