The updated edition of CiscoPress INTRO and ICND study guides do not contain any materials in IPX configuration. Your books may be out-dated. You better buy the updated edition of the books for the exam preparation.
Hello all
I will have a CCNA on 1st of September. I have two guides INTRO and ICND, there is lots of unusable informations like about IPX, do You think that I should focus on all or just on that what in my consideration meters ?
Some advices welcome :)

You may find some IPX information in the chapters explaining OSI and TCP/IP model, simply for the comparison of different network models. However, the amount of information about IPX should be minimal, and there is no detail on how to configure IPX on Cisco routers.
Are you using the INTRO study guide written by Steve McQuerry or Wendell Odom? I can't find any IPX information in Chapter 4 of the two books.

Hey, You wrote that There is no informations about IPX ..
I have INTRO guide (2004) chapter 3 comparing of frames, chapter 4 examples about WAN ...
Many examples, additional informations about IPX so I think that it has some purpose.
When I pass some exam I always like to get maximum count of points that's why I'm so confused and curious. Are You sure that CCNA 640-801 exam has no questions about IPX ?
Kind Regards Paul Malinowski

Sounds likes you have Wendell's 2 volume set.
Its not perfect, but it covers more than enough material for you to pass. I don't know about CCNA level, but for the CCNP and DESGN exams I found the Cisco Press "Preparation Guides" more useful than the "Certification Guides". Reason being is that the prep guides are closer to the course notes given in the actual training classes (though obviously not as regularly updated) and these appear to be the source used when setting questions.
Don't panic. Read the books cover to cover and if you can answer all the chapter questions (at both ends of each chapter) you'll be fine.
