Customer Reviews & Comments
This book seemed to have decent coverage of the CCNAS objectives. But overall I don't think its the best. I read through the Cisco Press and Exam Cram books for this exam. Then as a final study tool I just used the end of chapter reviews and practice questions from this book. I found a few practice questions that were worded very strangely and didn't make a lot of sense, in fact one question didn't even provide enough information to be able to answer it. I recall reading other things in the end of chapter review sections that were worded very strangely too and more difficult to understand compared to what I read in the Exam Cram or Cisco Press books. On the upside, There was a section in this book on Cisco Secure ACS that I don't recall was covered much in the other two books I read. That and I do like how this books chapters are smaller and focus on one thing at a time. Overall the book did help me perpare for the exam, it just wasn't my MAIN source of studying. Don't take my entire word for it because I didn't read the entire book, only the end of chapter reviews and questions. If your going to study for the CCNAS, this book may be fine, but you should buy another book so you have two sources to study from, and more practice questions to use.
