Are Cisco Exam candidates forced to cheat?

On what planet did you get the following info?

If it is not factual, can you please point out where it is wrong with links and instructions?

I am referring to the network world link posted referencing the certguard.com article (or discussion group post) The cisco lifecycle exam (although completely useless and probably only done by partners to retains status compliance) does have a corresponding e-learning module available on cisco's website.

I can't post a link- the level of access to cco depends of course on the user's access level- but if they have any need to take that test- then they have access to those training materials, and if not their Cisco AM can set it up for them.

Yes

I have currently completed CCNA 1 & 2

According to my grade book I have already completed 30 of them. Also have completed 2 case studies and three skills tests. All part of CCNA 1 & 2

Spoken to several students who have done CCNA-3 & 4 and they stated that they would have done about 30 more module tests after mine.

What are you sorry about - for being rude or just plain arrogant?

As what I have said before, The test are in an American form of English and the differences between the English languages means a students passes or fails. The USA is not the only country in this world.

So I presume that you have the capabilities for rocket science?

However as what I have stated before

Well have a go at the other person and also get off that high almighty horse of yours as your s*it stinks as much as mine.

Well if you have done 60 prep tests then why not wrote the real one? I am sorry that you can't figure out that it is a basic level certification and anyone I know that has read a book and studied has passed it. I am well aware the US is not the only country in the world, I don't even live there, but unfortunately english is the exam's language- ask cisco to come up with a german version or whatever you want if you feel that would be fairer. IOS is only in one language- so that will be reality. I guarantee this is not rocket science. You presumed for nothing. If you are advocating Cisco dilute or make the test easier, then I disagree. I am not on any horse- fact is you need to spend more time studying and less time complaining.

Capta>> On what planet did you get the following info?

Cap'n, I think you are confusing tests that are part of your course, with what jw was referring to, which is actual CCNA cert. exam(s). The latter (either one single exam 640-801, or two exams 640-821 and 640-811) are what constitute the certification. The course you are doing, and the tests you are taking are simply part of your teaching-venue's curriculum, they are not a requried part of the CCNA cert.

It is possible for people to take the cert. exams without any other tests, hence some surprise being expressed when you referred to taking 60. :)

You are referring to the Cisco Academy. That is not the CCNA exam. CCNA is one exam, possibly two if you decide to sit the two parts separately. You can get your CCNA certification by passing a single 90 minute exam.

Although, I will agree with your initial assesment of...

"Their questions are either ambigious, bording to the point of total stupidity or designed to throw you off where a simple mistake can cost you approximately 5% of your total marks."

You need to stop wanking.

Again... time wasted chiding me when you could be writing your 60 exams. Good luck with all that.

You people have completely shat all over my thread. Thanks.

Taylor,

I can only apologise on my behalf as I attempted to contribute to this newsgroup bringing forth my opinions on this topic and this jerk decided to place crap upon me rather personally.

I don't attempt to be completely knowlegable in Cisco nor the CCNA course however I also provided my grievences that the course had provided in the past six months of my course.

It is better that you read my original response and possibly respond to that. Once again Taylor, on behalf of myself, I give my apologies.

Kindest Regards
