For those of you who have taken the CCENT course at WGU, do they send you any physical books? I want a physical book, but not if they are going to send me one. I would like to buy the Sybex one. I will order it off of Amazon right now if anyone can give me a quick response.

thanks

    Also with the Labsim it is not split into ICND1 and ICND2. They suggest which sections you do for CCENT but even those suggestions are horribly inaccurate. Pick up the Odom book and read through it, find the corresponding sections in Labsim and follow those. Also if you can pick up CBT nuggets for this, it is highly worth it.

    Yeah, I totally didnt bother with Labsim. I bought Todd Lammle's book though not Odom's. It seems okay so far. I never use the Labsims only because I can never seem to study from videos, it just goes right over my head. Only thing that sticks are reading.
