First of all, congratulations to Kevin Wiggle, who passed today. Good for
you, Kevin!!!!
My own sad story - I humiliated myself by failing today. 65 needed. My score
61.
I tell my kids it's better to be lucky than smart. Lord knows I've had my
share of luck, passing seven exams first try each, some by fewer than 15
points. Well, today my luck ran out. I've discovered that sometimes it
still helps to be smart.
My take on the test - not what I expected. No case studies. Not as much SNA
and product as I expected. My major shortcoming was that I took for granted
that I already knew LAN and WAN protocols, glossed over them in my
preparations, and as a result just got burned, correctly answering fewer
than half of the 50 questions in those areas.
Others have said so, but I will repeat. There were questions where one
answer was required, but more than one was correct. There were a couple of
cases where only one answer was wrong, which leads me to believe that the
intended question was "which of these is NOT" rather than "which of these
IS" And there was the one question where given a particular product with a
particular number of various kinds of ports, what is the appropriate
application for this product, and none of the answers made any sense at all.
Well, I can't really complain. My wife tells me she knew I was going to fail
by my carriage and attitude as I left the house this morning. I knew, too.
And after all, I wouldn't be griping if I'd gotten 69 instead of 61.
I'll be trying again within the next seven days. This may be a great weekend
for studying. It'll only cost me a few hundred to ship the wife and kids off
someplace so I can concentrate. Cheap at any price. :->
