Could you compare (quality/style/etc) the questions were presented with - to
the sample questions at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/sample_routing.html
I'm assuming you tested for R&S, I hope I'm not wrong. (i'm new to this
list)

: Hi, all
:
: I took and passed the CCIE written exam again yesterday. I found out last
: week that I had to retake it in order to schedule my lab; the previous
exam
: I took "expired" due to the time elapse.
:
: I did not study, so I can not recommend any reference materials, etc. I
: will say that since I have been studying for the lab, rather than the
: written, that helped a little.
:
:
: About the exam itself, and without violating the NDA, it sucked.
Cisco,
: if you are reading this, elimination through obscurity is not something
to
: brag about. Sure, I could test and fail an auto mechanic by asking him
: obscure questions about buggy whips, but that does not test the true worth
: of the auto mechanic.
:
: Some of the questions are awful, loaded with subjective phrases and
: ambiguous syntax and grammer. There were a few good questions that
: addressed the technology of what we do. It seemed to me that you were
often
: put in a situation where you have to pick the answer that sucked the
least.
:
:
: To give you an idea, pretending that this was a math exam, some of the
: questions looked like this:
:
:
: 1. How many sides are contained in a left-handed square?
: A. 4 sides if there are 2 triangles present
: B. None, a circle has 4 sides.
: C. A right handed square has 4 sides.
: D. All of the above.
:
:
: 2. Chuck bought 5 bananas at the supermarket. Priscilla bought 2 apples.
: Howard robbed Pamela the cashier. How much did Chuck pay for the apples?
: A. The bananas were 1 dollar a pound.
: B. False, the apples were really peaches.
: C. Howards got 5-10, with time off for good behavior.
: D. The log lady likes apples too.
:
:
:
: I am exaggerating slightly, but not by much. Just as important as knowing
: the stuff, is the ability to decipher the questions and answers, and to
get
: inside the minds of the test writers (you be Clarice, the test writer is
: Hannibal).
:
: Anyways, that is all I got to say about that. Good luck to all!

: Charles
