The Certification Zone exams are notoriously MORE difficult than the real
thing. I don't think I got more than 600 or so on any of the practice tests
I took, and it wasn't even close on my real thing.
One has to take the Czone tests with the attitude that you are practicing
thinking. You are practicing answering the question "what is the problem we
are trying to solve?"
To be honest, I would find it hard to believe there is a direct correlation
with Czone scores and CCIE R&S written scores. If you don't buy into the
Czone approach, or if you just don't click with the way the writers approach
things, you may find not only that you do poorly on Czone tests, but that
you find yourself too discouraged and underprepared to do well on the real
thing.
Have you ever had a high school or college teacher, one you just didn't
click with? And that lack of rapport hurt you in that class, I'm sure. On
the other hand, have you ever have a teacher you really hit it off with?
Someone you understood, and who understood you? If so, you probably did a
LOT better in that class.
Same with Certification Zone. If you are not the kind of person who wants to
really master a subject, from the approach of pure protocol behaviour, pure
theoretical understanding, you may find things difficult.
In the couple of weeks prior to taking my written, I printed out each of the
Czone practice tests I took. I went through them question by question,
always asking myself what was going on, what behaviour was I observing.
Although I never did all that well on the practice tests, as I was taking
the real thing I found that by always thinking in terms of behaviour, I was
able to answer a lot of questions that I might otherwise have found
unanswerable. ( I did a lot of other things too, so this alone would not be
enough )
Don't be discouraged by poor results on Czone practice tests. Keep asking
yourself why the correct answer is what it is. Understand the principals and
the behaviours. You will pass.
