Summary: got 841/1000 (passing 706) using only this book
Comment: I have very little experience with any of these dying technologies but I passed the exam easily (841/1000 - passing 706) after reading the book. Just read the book cover to cover and do the CD-ROM practice test.

Summary: THE guide to pass the exam
Comment: I worked (hard) on this book for 3 weeks (without doing the labs), and I passed the #640-505 today with a 808 (703 required). To be clear I will just enumerate the good and bad points; here are the good ones:
1. It covers very well the exam (except for the chapter about Win95! there were questions in the exam, but hopefully very easy), and some questions in the CD were in the real exam
2. Short and clear
3. Only a very very few mistakes (actually I found only a couple of them, mostly on the CD, which decided me not to buy any book whom reviewers say it is full of mistakes)
4. Feeling to learn something, not just working for an exam (just a feeling, not a proof it is a good book !)
The bad ones:
1. The test exams on CD do not respect the format of the exam; when it is about IOS commands, you have to choose within a list of 40 or more commands, not just 4 as usual. Actually, I found it more difficult to choose within 4 commands than 40, because the 40 ones are mostly all different one from another. But he could have told me what was the exam format!
2. It covers the exam, but the study is not in depth; too often I had questions on topics I had seen, but "ah, just on this case, what happen ?"
3. Consequence of the (2): I will not keep this book; I've taken my little notes, now I can sell it. The advantage of this book is also the disadvantage: it is designed to make you pass the exam, no more. But it is in the informal contract from the beginning.
If you want to pass the exam learning things, buy this book. It is really more than enought, and a pleasure to read.
Rating: 5
Summary: A very good review of the subject matter.
Comment: I was able to pass the 640-605 test handily using this book as my primary source of study information.
There were a good number of small mistakes, (for example a 2511 router has 16 and not eight asynchronous interfaces) which were mildly annoying. One would hope that it would have been better edited technically. Still, it's better than the other choices out there, some of which I've been very disappointed in.
The text was organized well, and was surprisingly easy to study, especially considering the subject matter. As a Cisco book, it seemed to have a clearer idea of what the test would expect; I noticed no major oversights as I took the test.
Overall, very good, with some improvements possible.
