Hi, I passed the CCNA with the Sybex book and a class-based training (which didn't really add to the reading). I'm now studying for the CCNP, starting with the 642-801 BSCI. The Cisco Press book I've got says it is not designed to pass the exam without some extra tuition (now it tells me!). I'm not sure I'll be able to get to more class-based training, and I don't have a lab (though I want one) or any hands-on usage at work(though I want some). Have any of you guys passed the 642-801 by just reading the books? TIA, Tookalow.
Can the 642-801 BSCI be passed by just reading?

Don't bank on just reading the book. It really depends on your rate of comprehension. I had to use a couple of 2600 routers to verify commands and to tie a lot of the reading together. 642-801 is probably the most dificult out of the suite
