 Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2007 5:31 pm Post subject: Current CCNA test is harder? |
 |
|
Hello perople,
Please let me ask.
I have taken CCNA in 2001.I think that my CCNA was expired.
I was into Linux and away from Cisco stuff.
I'm asked to take CCNA, then CCNP.
When I took CCNA it was not difficult, however, I heard that current CCNA is not so easy to get it.
Is that true?
If you know some info about this, please let me know. I will be grateful before I prepare for CCNA - CCNP certificate.
Thank you, |

Our study group took in a person with a MCSE 2000 and after 3 months of
studing on his own and all of us meeting weekly, he passed his CCNA on the
second attempt last month with a score of 910.
We fear what we do not understand.
Do not fear the CCNA. Learn the CCNA.

If you know what you're doing it's not bad at all (kind of the point) it
is more difficult then the '01 exam as it is a bit more in depth (imo)
but at the same time it is more in depth into relevant topics and is
really not much of a challenge.
If you've moved away from cicso gear and don't deal with it on a daily
basis I certainly would not recommend writing without significantly
refreshing your knowledge.

You have a choice of two ways to certify. Either take the combined
composite exam or the two separate exams. The first exam of the two
is easy. The second one will nail you on access lists and WAN
protocols so be prepared. If you take the composite exam, the
questions will be across the spectrum, but do not expect easy
questions. Good news is that the old IPX/SPX stuff, Token Ring, and
Appletalk is gone. Bad news is IPv6 and OSPF is fair game on new
CCNA. Also, if you take the CCNA after Dec, it will have changed
again. |
