I would say that the exam is more demanding.  In my experience with Cisco 
tests, they expect you to know a wide breadth of information but the depth 
of knowledge required isn't very great.  With the Juniper exam, their 
questions are much more focused, you won't know the answer unless you know 
the concept very well.  Here is an example of a question (No, this is not 
from the test, I made it up myself) to illustrate the level of detail 
required: "When does an OSPF DR not advertise an LSA type 2?"  If you know 
the answer, then you'd probably be comfortable taking the test.  That is 
the level of knowledge required.

That shows the exam objectives of the Juniper exam.  Yes, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, 
and MPLS are a big part of the exam, just like the objectives show.

It would be nice if there was a mailing list for the Juniper certs so that 
these messages wouldn't have to take up space on the Cisco list.  Anyone 
know of one?
