I will agree on this point about reading comprehension questions. I took
all the CCNP courses through www.knowledgenet.com since Cisco Press books
for 2.0 were hard to come by. After I completed that, I ready Top Down
Network Design (Thanks Priscilla) and Designing Cisco Networks. One person
at our company took the CCDA and failed by about 100, but I took is and
passed with around 860 3 weeks ago. You cannot be too prepared for this
test, thought it is straight forward, it pulled knowledge from each of the
resources I mentioned before. Also, when you get the case study, draw the
WHOLE thing out, because you will be referring to it about 5 times. The
other individual at my company got 3 scenarios, and I got 4. I finished
with plenty of time, maybe 50 minutes left, but only because I drew the
scenarios is complete detail even though the first question was just a basic
"count the equipment question."
IMHO as always.

Hi Len -
I honestly don't know if there are really any texts that adequately prepare
one for the CCDA exam. I used the Syngress book myself, and spent hours
coming up with all sorts of mnemonic devices to help me remember the lists
of requirements and procedures that I thought were going to be on the exam.
When I finally got into the exam, I felt extremely ill-prepared and was very
surprised when I found that I had passed it (855/1000).
What it boils down to is this: glean whatever you can from whatever book
you're using, and go ahead and take the test when you're done with your
study materials, just be prepared for a *lot* of reading comprehension-type
questions, and pace yourself accordingly.
Best of luck -

Does anyone have any suggestions for books to read for the CCDA exam. I am
currently reading Cisco Press "Designing Cisco Networks", but it kind of
sucks.
Thanx.
