I agree. Shaun mentioned that he prefers the written form over a test engine for studying; that's understandable. Like Brian, I prefer multiple sources, multiple formats. When studying for an exam, I generally use a Boson quiz or two initially to see my strengths and weaknesses, and then prep using a variety of books and text on the internet, and then finish up with some more Boson or flash card quizes before I take an exam.
Also, as Brian mentions, Boson is the only way for many of the specializations, such as the security or voice tests- most companies only focus on CCNA/CCNP/CCIE. -Sean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Zeitz Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Stupid Question time [7:41465] I have an un-bias opinion. For some of us who have already done a few exams, Boson is the only choice. Do you have test software for PIX, VPN, CVOICE etc.? I don't really use boson, I use books. But for CSS1, I might need to use them, just to get an idea if I have any weak spots. There is no 1 source for any exam. I have heard the term, "you get what you pay for". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 3:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Stupid Question time [7:41465] Everybody else is bad except Network Learning, because you work for Network Learning and have written materials for CCXX productions?
