Are the Cisco books the best for studying for their test? I ask because you never know if something better is out there. I have two books by Mike Meyers for the CompTIA exams, but they don't seem that in-depth. I usually end up with several questions at the end of the chapter that are hard to find answers to. I'm planning on buying the ICND1 for the CCENT exam after I pass the Network+.
I also want to mention that I don't have a job or any experience in the IT field other than what I can do at home with XP home edition and a $20 trendnet router. This means I won't be buying any Cisco equipment to learn their IOS system or be using their hardware any time soon. Does the CCENT test have a lot of Cisco IOS questions on it?
I would like to take it to solidify my understanding of networking based upon what I have already learned.
