There is no shame in failing a Cisco written test these days (not that there ever was). I passed the CCIE Lab on the second attempt and a few months later failed the Cisco Pix Firewall Exam again and again (after having always passed Cisco written tests on the first try.)
The Cisco written tests these days are tough, tough, tough. ***I will agree. All of the certification exams are much more difficult than before... and now that the dot.com bubble is over a lot less people are taking them now. (In my first attempt at the CCIE lab in May there were only 3 people there.) In my opinion, the number CCNPs, CCDPs etc. will go down significantly in the next few years. It seems like we are slowly getting back to having people in the field who actually 'like' solving these types of problems. Salaries have gone down... and with that many people have decided it's not worth the effort... while others still stay because they actually like the challenge.Thomas Larus wrote: Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=72441&t=71800 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
