CCNA

[Bruce123]

Hi,

 

Is anyone currently studying for their CCNA (like me)?

 

Is it what you expected? What are the most interesting/least interesting parts?

 

I am just getting to close the end of Semester 2/4 (so almost half way through).

 

We studying the "new" Syllabus. Is anyone else feeling like the proverbial Guinea Pigs for the new format/syllabus?

 

Not too impressed with the Site Temporarily Unavailable site to be honest (poor user interface but the material seems OK). Just settled down to complete end-of-chapter exam and to catch up (much needed) and it responded with this rather unhelpful message:

 

Site is Temporarily Unavailable

We apologize for any inconvenience. Please check back soon.

 

So I thought I would post this instead

I did the old CCNA syllabus last year and there was still mistakes in it !

I'm currently on Semester 1 of CCNA v4.0, where there are a few problems! One of which is that the exam questions are all the same for everyone, which means a quick Google reveals all.

Yes there seems to be quite a few mistakes (in the slides the tutor uses).

This is really irritating, it's almost encouraging people to cheat (CISCO that is). Surely we're at a point in AI that exam questions can be adapted for each candidate, in such a way to not affect the difficulty, but makes trying to memorise the questions and answers pointless (if you will pardon the unintended pun!)

I personally don't, as I see that there is no point in doing so as I wouldn't learn anything from it. However, I know people who just check it before the exam and then just memorise the answers. However, I do not believe they do so on the final exam, I believe that is a pool of questions, however they are highly similar.
