I would try to help a little, I passed Foundation 2.0 last October,
although the exam concentrates BSCN, BCMSN and BCRAN in a single exam
you should master every part (the exam has three parts according to
each course I mentioned before), so if you pass BCRAN and BSCN parts
but fail BCMSN, you cannot get a global passing score, so the final
result is FAIL.
There are about 155 questions to be answered in about 165 minutes,
let's say a minute and few seconds for every question, this becomes the
exam in a real challenge, weak points will be detected as the results
sheet has plenty of information. I have not taken CCIE Written exam,
but some people say both exams are quite similar.
Hope this few lines can be useful,
Warm regards,
Jose Luis De Abreu
