For A Joke…
So, inm the midst of a flurry of Cisco CCNA Examinations. Fun they are. Real fun. Cisco are very, very misleading in their exams. Everything must be read very carefully and you must spend every moment aware, hunting for the inconsistancies, the little tricks in thier questions. The questions hidden inside questions. The questions whose answers consist of nothing but 128 character binary strings, three of which only have 1 character differences between them. Fun, no?
So I did the exam for Module 7: Distance-Vector Routing Protocols today. Pass mark was 70%. I scored 57.4%
I was duped, I tells ya! Duped! They played me for a fool in a number of questions. Unfortunately I have no idea which questions they were because Cisco won’t actually tell you what you got right and what you didn’t. They do give you feedback on the things you have to read up on to get things right next time (if the exam is exactly the same next time, which it never is. Each exam has a question pool and is randomly drawn from that every time). I think even this feedback is misleading. There’s things listed here, like IGRP Metrics, that weren’t even on the exam. I get the feeling you’d be told you needed to read up on certain areas even if you got 100%. They nver want you to think that you could know everything they teach you.
Misleading exams. I hate them and the people who design them.
