I used both, and found actually doing the labs to be a really good way to cement the theory into my memory.
Some people can learn from just reading, but as a good friend mentioned to me the other day, as I was trying to "Show" him something : "Doing is Learning".

I have the Cisco Press Book by Paquet, and it suppossed to cover all of the test material. I also downloaded the IS-IS supplement from Cisco. I know NOTHING about IS-IS, so I'm going to learn the basics and pray that there are only about 4-5 questions on it. I've worked in networking with Cisco products since 2000, so I feel comforatable with day-to-day operations, and I'm fairly comfident with my commands. What I have been concentrating on is more of the book stuff like metric stuff, bgp path attributes, and the specific routing commands that are applied to interfaces. I have a lab with 4 2500's, but to be honest, I feel like the books are more important for this specific exam. Anyone who has taken the test, I would like to hear your opinion on book specifics vs. router configs on the BSCI exam, please.
