I think that most people fail to understand that the
CID exam is perhaps the most unique of the series.
There is no practicality, and, while I was
disappointed with the age of the exam, I thought that
it opened the door to the design world better than the
technical exams - routing, switching, etc. Since I
love design I went beyond these parameters and wrote
roughly 50% of the study guide (Sybex) in that vain
and added material like DSL and multicast.
I think that all of us have been frustrated with the
exams from a style, content or focus perspective from
time to time. I also know that CID is generally
regarded as a hard exam - I disagree - and a lot of
people have avoided the CCDP track from this fear.
A suggestion would be to participate in the beta
program offered by Cisco. The tests are free, and I
like to fool myself into thinking that they read the
lengthy comments that I make. My understanding is that
there is a group that reviews comments from both the
betas and the live exams, so, as long as you don't
have a time limit concern, use that avenue and
hopefully you/we can effect the certification process.
