CCNP BSCI Official Exam Certification Guide, Fourth Edition, follows a logical organization of the CCNP® BSCI exam objectives. Material is presented in a concise manner, focusing on increasing readers' retention and recall of exam topics. “Do I Know This Already?” quizzes open each chapter and allow you to determine how much time you need to spend on each section. Exam topic lists and Foundation Summary tables make referencing easy and give you a quick refresher whenever you need it. Scenario-based exercises help you think about exam objectives in real-world situations, thus increasing recall during exam time. Challenging chapter-ending review questions help you assess your knowledge and reinforce key concepts.

The companion CD-ROM contains a powerful testing engine that allows you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams. The assessment engine also tracks your performance and provides feedback on a module-by-module basis, presenting question-by-question remediation to the text.

Well regarded for its level of detail, assessment features, and challenging review questions and exercises, this book helps you master the concepts and techniques that will enable you to succeed on the exam the first time.

5 out of 5 stars re: Get self study guide instead.   September 18, 2007

in response to Constantine's review...
this book is not supposed to be your "one stop test prep resource." Cisco Exam Certification Guides in general are what you should use, if you are already familiar with the information. I wouldn't say that the self study guides are a one stop resource either. My advice would be to get both. Use the self-study guide to learn the material, if needed. Then use the exam cert guide to review and test yourself. The question and answer section at the end of each chapter will really test how well you understand the information and not whether you just know some facts. I think this should make perfect sense to anybody that has taken the CCNA exam. How many straight forward questions did you see on the CCNA? ...or did you really need to understand more than one concept to answer the questions? i'm giving this book 5 stars to try and offset Constantine's unfair rating. Rate something based on what it is supposed to be and not what you misinterpreted it to be.

I have just finished this course with the Cisco Network Academy and have found this book very helpful in preparing for the 1st of 4 ccnp exams. It also is a good idea to get the BSCI command reference guide to go with it.


5 out of 5 stars A Starting Point   October 5, 2009
This is and excelent book to start with routing learning.

I read this book 3 times, I also practiced with the BSCI 642-901 Lab Portfolio, I studied the Portable Command Guide and finally I watched the Train Signal BSCI course.

After all this I pass the 642-901 Building Scalable Cisco Internetwork Exam with an score of 922.

I recomend this guide and also the lab portfolio, both books can be found here in amazon.

5 out of 5 stars Best book as a Final preparation step   February 24, 2008

I strongly recommend this book as a final preparation step for the BSCI exam. It is perfect for that specific purpose. Firstly, learn the concepts and practise the commands using another material. Finally use this book to reinforce the concepts and pass the exam.
