CCNP Resource Question

[rburke]

Hey everyone,

Well, I want to move on and start studying for the CCNP. From previous posts I gather that I should take the exams in this order:
Routing
Switching
Remote Access
Support

So, right now I am looking for a good Routing book to help me in my studies. I've looked at the Cisco Press CCNP-Routing book, but it seems to have pretty bad reviews (lots of mistakes are the main complaint). But from past posts on this forum, people said the Lammele book wasn't in depth enough for the Routing exam. What are ya'lls thoughts on this? Is the Cisco Press book good enough, along with some hands on to get me through it, or are the mistakes going to make it very confusing? Any help wouled be greatly appreciated.

What did you CCNP's out there use to get certified, other than hands on rack time? Books? Courses? Any ideas, please...

In terms of the CiscoPress books, did you use the Preparation library(BCSN, BCMSN, BCRAN, CIT), or did you use the Certifiaction library(CCNP Routing Cert. Guide, Switching Cert. Guide, Remote Access Cert. Guide, and Support Cert. Guide)? The only thing I see is that the Preparation library was release in Nov 2000, and the Cert Library was release in Feb. 2001, both were during the 640-50x exam sets, so just wondering what people used?

Thanks for the help.

Exam Cert guides.. plus the semester 5/6 books and lab companion guides. I looked at the ExamCrams but there were far too many errors in them and in the end, I gave up on them.
