Very underrated.

I bought this book as extra material simply because the Cisco Press CCNP prep titles had been consistently disappointing and I wanted to try something more. Well, I'm sorry I didn't check out Syngress Media titles from the beginning of my CCNP journey, if this book is any indication of their quality. It is excellent. Yes, a couple of chapters are a bit of a wash (particularly later in the book), and there are errors here and there, but no more so than the official Cisco Press course material that is so frequently lauded (and that is some of the driest, most poorly organized study material anyone could torture themselves with to begin with). This book was a great read, with good insight and explanations, and was for the most part accurate and an excellent study guide. Far better than Sybex's Lammle titles and better than the official BCRAN Cisco Press book.
Comprehensive Guide for Remote Access

I just passed my exam after studying primarily with this book. Like all of the CCNP exams, you can't expect to pass by just reading a book, you have to have real experience. But, as far as study guides go, this one really helped me prepare for the exam. All of the obectives were covered, and the exercises and questions help you think of the content in the right way to get ready for the exam.
Just what you need for the CCNP Remote Access Exam.

After reading some of the other reviews, I was somewhat sceptical about the accuracy of this book. Because of the time I spent with this book, I was fully prepared to pass my 640-505. If your purpose is to pass the Remote Access exam for the CCNP, I highly suggest reading this book (and possibly none other). However, if you are looking for on-the-job application for building production remote access networks, some of the important points are glossed over.
Helped Me Pass

This book was really an asset as I prepared for this exam. I was a little concerned about 640-505 as this specific exam technology is my weakest point. the book covers all the key objectives, and does it in a way that makes sense. The Two minute drill feature at the end of each chapter helped me clarify key points, and made me go back to them in the chapter if I was still uncomfortable. The questions at the end of the chapter were helpful, and I really like the way they describe the answers. obviously it helps to know why a certain answer is right, but the descriptions of why the other choices were wrong was really valuable to me. There was an excellent chapter on the 700 Series router which is covered on the exam, but I hadn't used with any regularity before. The chapter does a good job detailing the router (features, applications, etc.) and then discusses configuration (PPP, dHCP Config, etc.). Good Section, and good book.
Excellent study material!

This book covers all of the objectives of the BCRAN test in great detail. The material is presented in a way that makes it easy to understand, Which is pretty hard to do given the complexity of the subject matter. I am looking forward to the other CCNP 2.0 Syngress releases.
