Shanky,
This type of book isn't meant to your sole resource for the
exam. Look at the description for it:
"You've learned the concepts, you have the experience to put them into
real-world use, and now you want to practice, practice, practice until
exam time. CCIE Routing and Switching Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack
gives you three methods of proven, late-stage exam preparation for the
CCIE Routing and Switching written exam in one package."
The questions in the book are meant to test your already
developed knowledge of the technologies.
Brian McGahan, CCIE #8593
