 Great condensed review for ccnaJul 11, 2009
By Josh Stutzman
"Josh"
Basically takes all four ccna books and compacts them into 375 pages. A good way to study for the cert and review topics learned recently. Would not be suitable for one who has little knowledge of the ccna concepts since it briefly covers major topics such as Spanning Tree and routing protocols. All in all a great value and just what I was looking for--a review of all topics covered in the ccna curriculum.

Excellent Review BookJan 10, 2011
By Stanley Fu
I had been taking a CCNA Discovery course at a local community college, and my teacher mentioned that the 4th semester really didn't teach any new material and instead wanted to review for the CCNA using this book as reading material. I skipped the class, but picked up the book anyway to provide an additional source of review over the Cisco Press material for my ICND2 exam, and i'm glad I did. I think the book does a great job covering the basics of each of the topics that are covered on the exam without having to read a lot of the wordy explanations that are found in the official books. It definitely touches on every topic that you'll find on the CCNA or ICND exams, and does a solid job going over both concepts and troubleshooting. For those that need a quick refresher on technologies or exams, it does a great job. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the book as your sole study guide, especially if you're coming into the CCNA or ICND tests completely raw, but perfect as a companion study book or someone that hasn't read over the concepts in some time.

great reviser - unfair expectationsDec 13, 2011
By Andrew Godfrey
I completed and passed my CCNA a few years ago and let it expire. TO retake it now, this was an invaluable resource. I read it here and there when i first prepared for the exam but this time, it made a lot more sense to use it as my sole prep text.
Reviews saying it is incomplete or glosses over the details need to re-read the title of this book - it is a reviser, not an all encompassing book to be used exclusively for the ccna exam prep.

A short but great CCNA preparation resourceOct 08, 2010
By Yasir Irfan
"yaas"
In short an interesting title, exclusively written for the Cisco Network Academy students, who are preparing for the Cisco CCNA 640-802 Certification exam. The author Allan Johnson takes a very broad look at practical way to make you understand the concepts in 31 days in a very concise way. He has emphasized on concepts and terminologies used in Cisco CCNA 640-802 Certification exam in an interesting way which definitely helps you to summarize your learning.
Although the title "31 days before your CCNA Exam" aims at Cisco Network Academy students, but it can be used for the Cisco CCNA 640-802 Certification aspirers who does self study.
The author Allan Johnson divided the title suiting in to 31 chapters, which are so concise you can finish each chapter in an hour. The cream of the title "31 days before your CCNA Exam" is the section called "Exam day and post exam information" which gives the CCNA Certification aspirers guidelines on what to expect after the completion of exam as well as what they should do if they fail to pass the exam on first attempt. One more section that I really liked is "CCNA Skills review and practice" which helps you to practice the CCNA skills which includes most of the CCNA 640-802 exam configurations skills in one topology, which covers topics like VLAN configuration, frame-relay configuration, inter vlan routing, EIGRP,VTP, port security , STP. You can practice those topologies either on Cisco Packet Tracer or GNS3 graphical network simulator.
Overall the title "31 days before your CCNA Exam" is a true gem, but cannot be a only source for passing CCNA 640-802 exam, this title is good for the some one who is looking for quick reference on CCNA 640-802 exam topics in an well organized way. I thank Cisco Press and Jamie in particular for providing me the copy of "31 days before your CCNA Exam"
