bigboi004

Can someone please help me? I will retake the new test soon and I need help on passing that. The 640 test was not an easy test at all and all the material in the cisco academy did not help either. Can someone give me pointers or what materials i need to pass the new exam.....HELP!!!!

I have been answering the question on this site everynight all week long. they here helpful but not when i got to the test. Nothing absolutely nothing was helpful bec the test seemed so different then what i studied. Even the simulators would not work right

Todd Lammle's Sybex 4th edition is right on target with what you need to know for the 640-801 exam.(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0782143113/qid=1091060298/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-6039127-8675367?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

Also, I found Cisco Press Flash cards to be an excellent supplement. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1587200791/qid=1091060378/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-6039127-8675367?v=glance&s=books)

well the 607 is a hard test especially if you don't have any experience with routers and switches. the osi questions are a little more detail but the router and switcj configuration questions can be a "dusey" ( i know b/c i failed it 2 times with a 700 after 6 months experince and studying in 02 or early 03) and now for the 801 i understand that some of the old ccnp stuff has dropped into the ccna i would suggest trying to take the 2 partial ccna tests 811 and 821 , study harder and get more actual experience with in CLI .. a good site to download a router/ switch sim is routersim.com at a cost it only does frame relay and ppp, not alot of deep access lists but it should help..
reason i say is that i'm going to take my ccna sometime before the end of this year .. i know from experience to be better prepared

I have that CCNA flashcards for the 801. I think it's must have!!! It has good study material for the 801. Questions and answers get right to the point. It also comes with a CD with questions in it and a screen saver that has flash card questions too. It also has questions you can download to your PDA from the CD. If you're studying for the CCNA 640-801 then I highly recommend this book to you. I think I paid $30 for it in Barns and Noble.

It's a good book to carry around with you. I keep it in my car all the time...keeps me studying while I'm stuck in traffic.

Todd Lammle's Sybex book is also an great book too.
