I totally disagree with William P. above.

Just because I said you might pass the CWNA without much practical experience, (I didn't say how much studying you would have to do instead) I'd like to see how many people could pass the CWSP or CWNE without it. No way in H--- someone is going to pass a test like the Cisco CCNA without lots of hands-on networking experience.

The Network+ exam covered 50% or more of the material on the CCNA several years ago, and I ACED that one. Same with part of the CCNA, but not the whole thing. I just didn't have enough experience, or time available during the test, to pass it.

For overall well rounded knowledge, the CWNP program is the way to learn wireless. But no single book, or set of test questions will get you a pass on a truly advanced certification. You need to take advantage of every possible opportunity to learn, and hands-on practical experience is probably the best way to do that.
