Hey Dennis,
I passed the foundation on Feb 15. It had 155 questions to answer in 135
minutes. I finished 30 minutes early which is unusual. Alot of folks don't
quite finish it. I was fast because I studied very hard and did not waste
any time. Unless you have a couple of weeks off from work to study for this
exam I would strongly suggest you not take it. The material is presented in
three different sections which you can discern as the questions change area
of focus.
The sections are of course ( routing, switching, remote access)The questions
in this exam are not any harder that the regular exam. What makes this exam
so difficult is that you have to retain all of the facts that you would for
each of the three separate exams. You can sort of equate this to the new M$
accellerated exam where it's all of the same material of the core four in
one test. The three sections are graded seperately. Fail any one section and
you fail the whole test.
It's do-able but I'm not sure if it was worth the stess...
