Agreed - IN SPADES!! I studied the subject material on the objectives list and still managed to fail a few times. Finally I gave up and read an actual study guide that helped word the information the way the test words it (Robert Padjen's CCDA Study Guide by Sybex - Highly recommended!). This is simply the only way to go with the old Cisco tests. Knowing the material just isn't enough; you have to know the TEST.

I saw some typos as well. The questions are actually probably intended to
be vauge, intended so that the answer isn't obvious, or that maybe their
are multiple answers.......but "which is best".

Well, hopefuly you will re-take it soon too, while its still fresh in your
head. At least now that you have seen the test, you probably know what to
start readin up on.
