RE: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good? [7:13951]
I have not yet completed my CCIE written so my advice may not be the best. I can tell you what I have researched and found out though. Read all the books you can. Do all of the questions, configuration exercises, troubleshooting, etc.. in the books. Then I have been told (once again, I have not yet experienced) the Boson tests are pretty good along with certification zones test simulator. Also, find the Rossi paper on all the types of bridging. This is all I have to offer at this point and I plan on doing more to prepare for the written. Could someone else please add on to what I have listed if willing? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Michael Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 11:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good?

Re: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good? [7:13951]
I agree. You cannot go wrong with Halabi and DoyleCaslow is also very good. The bottom line is that there is no one book that will do it all. You will need to read a variety of books, each with it's own merits. I would start with Doyle/Halabi first and then move on to books such as Caslows. -daniel - Original Message - From: "Wright, Jeremy" To: Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 11:52 AM Subject: RE: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good?

RE: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good? [7:13951]
I just finished the Caslow book and it was very good. I'm right in the middle of Routing TCP/IP by Jeff Doyle and so far it is the best book I've read. I have the Sybex book also and have put it down for the time being and concentrating on the Doyle and Halabi books. Then I will go and read the Sybex as more of a refresher. -Original Message- From: John Neiberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 11:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good?

Re: Is Sybex CCIE study guide good? [7:13951]
I used the practice exams from CertificationZone, along with most of their study guides, especially the Token Ring, Bridging, and routing guides. I found that the questions on that site were far more difficult than the actual exam, so if you find yourself consistently passing those, you should do fine on the real thing. Good luck!

Hi, I wouldn't rate it good. Probably you would want to use it to just to warm-up the topics but not further. The book doesn't go into any details nor does it cover the materials in the exam. All the other books mentioned are far better than the Sybex, specially Caslow's BRS for CCIE. Good luck.
