RE: BCRAN Exam Help
I'm the President of a local study group here in Atlanta and we have chosen to use book the by Thomas Thomas Adam Quiggle, ISBN#0072124806 and have found it to be the most thorough. They also include a FAQ following each chapter, case studies and at least 20 QA for each chapter. They've also broken down the very large chapters into more edible chunks, however, they could have taken a suggestion from Cisco press and grouped some chapters that were related, by Parts I, II, respectfully. McGraw Hill has done a good job with this latest series of books for the NP track. Although we normally use the Cisco Press books, the one that's currently available by Catherine Paquet (Editor)(August 1999) ISBN#1578700914 is not as detailed, namely as it relates to the QA. Following each of their chapters, you're lucky if you get 3 to 4 questions, covering a lot of info. It is the one which closely follows what they are teaching in the classes, but mind you they are coming out with another 2nd edition in Oct. Hopefully, they will have a CD like their CCNA Exam series, W. Odom book had, to help in the cert. process to gauge your knowledge retention. When you don't have the luxury of people taking the time to review books before you decide which to purchase, go to Amazon or BN and see what others are saying about it 1st, read them all and make a judgement call. If you don't think the book is all it's cut out to be, most bookstores, do have return policies to take it back. Hope this helps! A.

RE: BCRAN Exam Help Can you recommend Book for BSCN?
Thanks Tom, we gone through a lot of trial error from the past two years running MACG, and the content of the books are essential to making it happen the 1st time, whenever possible. The BSCN book we're targeting is BSCN: Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Thomas M. 2Nd Thomas, Arjan Aelmans, Floris Houniet, Tan Nam-Kee, Thomas M., II Thomas, ISBN: 0072124776, but the publisher keeps pushing the date available up. Our distributor says, instead of Aug. it's now October. We didn't want to hold up our NP sessions because none of the books we were interested in were not available so we're studying for both the BCRAN and BCMSN until we can make a solid decision. This also works out great to better prepare you for the BSCN and CIT. However, the other book, also in the publisher's dark hole, is Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Career Certifications) by Diane Teare, Catherine Paquet - ISBN: 1578702283, by Cisco Press. As I mentioned previously, and especially for this exam, you'd be better off sticking with Cisco Press, merely for the way Cisco words the exams to their way of speaking. If you're not cognizant of this, by going with any other book, you're playing Russian Roulette. We always recommend to use whatever additional reference materials you can afford to master the exam objectives. We're a 'hands-on' study group, so we're blessed with having the means to do our labs provided in the book. In summary, Cisco although boring yet very illustrative, does this best. Good luck and I really enjoy this list, so I felt it was time I put in my $.02, after over a year of lurking. Again, hope this helps! A.
