Which is better the?

The authorized self study guides seem to be about 100 pages longer on the average. I guess they just break things down more for those that need it?

I am currently using the offical exam cert guide for BCMSN, and it seems fine.

    The study guide is more in depth where the exam guide gives you enough to pass the exam and is aimed for someone who isnt learning the topics from scratch. Ive found that they go well hand in hand from what ive read so far. Study guide for learning it in depth and the exam guide as an overview.

    Unless there are years of experience or schooling behind you, I usually recommend them both. Read the study guide, then the exam guide.

    As far as 'what is needed to pass', you can probably get by with just one. Heck, there is enough on cisco.com to pass if you want to.
